An Act respecting the City of Toronto

Preamble Municipal taxes reduced Same The council of the City of Toronto (‘‘city council”) has applied for special legislation in respect of the matters set out in this Act. It is appropriate to grant the application. Therefore, Her Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Ontario, enacts as follows: 1.

(1) City council may pass a by-law pro- viding that zero is the amount of the prescribed percentage referred to in subsection 136 (1) of the Tenant Protection Act, 1997 for residential complexes in the areas of the city specified in the by-law.

(2) If a by-law is made under subsection (1), the prescribed percentage referred to in subsection 136 (1) of the Tenant Protection Act, 1997 shall be deemed to be zero for resi- dential complexes in the areas of the city specified in the by-law.

(3) The by-law may also provide that, for 2000, the prescribed period referred to in sub- section 136 (3) of the Tenant Protection Act, 1997 is the period specified in the by-law.

(4) The prescribed period referred to in sub- section 136 (3) of the Tenant Protection Act, 1997 shall be deemed, for 2000, to be the period specified in the by-law. 2. This Act comes into force on the day it receives Royal Assent. 3. The

Short title ___________________ EXPLANATORY NOTE Currently,

section of the Tenant Protection Act, 1997 applies when the municipal property tax for a residential complex is reduced. It specifies that the lawful rent for rental units in the complex must be reduced if the municipal property tax for the complex is reduced by a percentage greater than the percentage prescribed under that Act. The Bill authorizes the City of Toronto to pass a by-law spec- ifying a different percentage for the purposes of that

section of the Tenant Protection Act, 1997. As a transitional matter, the by-law may also specify a different deadline for for the city to give notice to landlords and tenants about any required rent reduction.
