Questions about The Selby
Answered from the City’s register and Ontario’s Residential Tenancies Act. General information, not legal advice.
Is The Selby rent controlled?
It depends on the unit. The register says The Selby was built in 2018. 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. A unit first lived in before that date is covered and one first lived in after it is not, so ask the landlord when yours was first occupied.
Who manages The Selby?
The City of Toronto’s apartment building register lists Tricon as the property manager, which is Tricon Residential.
What is the RentSafeTO score for The Selby?
