| new regulations under the residential tenancies Act, 2006
New Regulations made under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, will take effect with the new Act on January 31, 2007. The new Regulations are a detriment to the province’s rental housing industry, and while FRPO made every effort to provide constructive advice to the government, the new policies unfortunately reflect a shortsighted and misguided view by the province of residential tenancies law. |

Caveat: What follows is a preliminary review by FRPO of key elements of the proposed new legislation. The legislation is 130 pages long, and this presents only a cursory review, and could possibly contain errors. A more detailed review of the proposed legislation and its implications will be undertaken by FRPO in the coming weeks. |
| Ontario Government Proposes to Phase-out the Use of Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) Chillers
The Minister of Environment, Laurel Broten has announced proposed regulatory amendment to Ontario’s Refrigerants Regulation which would prohibit the refill of commercial refrigeration and air conditioning with ozone depleting refrigerants. Essentially the proposed measures will require building owners to either convert or replace older industrial, commercial and institutional refrigeration and air condition units and chillers. The proposal is intended to phase-out the use of chlorofluorocarbon (CFC)-based refrigerants in Ontario by prohibiting the operation of all CFC-containing chillers by January 2012 |
