The Bill amends the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 , the City of Toronto Act, 2006 and the Municipal Act, 2001 to implement various measures relating to rental accommodation. The major elements of the amendments to the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 are as follows: 1. Repealing section 6.1, removing the exemption from rent control provisions for the units described in that section. 2. Amending section 50 to require notices of termination for demolition, conversion or repair to include the approvals necessary for the demolition, conversion or repair and other specified documentation. 3. Amending section 54 to require landlords who are terminating a tenancy for the purpose of repairs or renovations to offer the tenant another acceptable rental unit for the period of the repairs or renovations or provide specified compensation. 4. Enacting new section 113 to specify that the lawful rent that may be charged to a new tenant must be related to the amount that was last charged for the unit in accordance with the rules set out in this section. Amendments are made throughout the Act to support these rules, including an amendment to section 115 that allows tenants to apply to the Board for an order determining the maximum amount of rent that may lawfully be charged. 5. Enacting a new Part XI.1, establishing a rent registry to be maintained by the Landlord and Tenant Board that requires landlords to file statements for inclusion in the Registry. The amendments also provide for consequences for failing to file statements with the registry. 6. Enacting new section 232.1 to establish a Rental Task Force to inquire into issues related to above-guideline rent increases and publish a report. The City of Toronto Act, 2006 and the Municipal Act, 2001 are both amended to prohibit approvals of conversions or demolitions of buildings or a group of buildings that would result in the loss of six or more rental units unless the rents for those units exceed mid-range rents at the time of the application or the person seeking approval replaces the rental units in the specified manner and implements a tenant relocation and assistance plan.
