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?

100 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 The Selby 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 The Selby have?

The register records elevator, balconies, air conditioning, pets allowed, bike parking, barrier-free entrance, visitor parking, non-smoking and intercom. It records no laundry room.

How close is The Selby to the subway?
