(April 23, 2009) Report from General Manager, Shelter, Support and Housing Administration |
Summary |
This report responds to the Tenant Defence Sub-Committee’s request to assess the feasibility of the City providing a special grant to assist five tenants of a unit at 50 Rosehill Avenue in the defence against their landlord’s appeal to the Divisional Court. The appeal arises from a Landlord and Tenant Board ruling that the provision of a common recreational facility was permanently reduced and the tenants were entitled to a rent reduction. The landlord disagrees and has filed an appeal to the Divisional Court.
The City has been requested to provide a grant of up to $10,000 to help the tenants pay costs, if any, which may be ordered by the Court if the tenants’ defence against the landlord’s appeal is not successful. This report recommends providing a grant of up to $10,000 to assist the tenants on the basis that it could be precedent setting for tenants where infill development is occurring. |
