Questions about Evolv

Answered from the City’s register and Ontario’s Residential Tenancies Act. General information, not legal advice.

Is Evolv rent controlled?

Probably not. The register says Evolv was built in 2021. In Ontario, the yearly rent increase guideline applies to units that were first occupied as a home on or before November 15, 2018. Units first occupied after that date are exempt from it. So for most units here the landlord can raise the rent by any amount, though still only once every 12 months and with 90 days’ written notice.

Who manages Evolv?

The City of Toronto’s apartment building register lists Daniels Gateway Rentals as the property manager.

What is the RentSafeTO score for Evolv?

97 out of 100, from the City’s 2025 inspection. The City calls that band “satisfactory”. Under RentSafeTO the City inspects the common areas, mechanical systems and records of every apartment building with three or more storeys and ten or more units.

Does Evolv allow pets?

The register records pets as allowed. Either way, a “no pets” clause in a residential lease is void in Ontario under section 14 of the Residential Tenancies Act.

What amenities does Evolv have?

The register records laundry room, elevator, balconies, air conditioning, pets allowed, bike parking, barrier-free entrance, visitor parking, non-smoking and intercom.

How close is Evolv to the subway?

Castle Frank is the nearest subway station, about 27 minutes on foot. That is estimated from straight-line distance, not a routed walk.
