Questions about 250 Cosburn Ave

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

Is 250 Cosburn Ave rent controlled?

Very likely. The register says 250 Cosburn Ave was built in 1927. 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 building of that age is covered, so in most years the rent can rise by no more than the provincial guideline, once every 12 months, with 90 days’ written notice.

What is the RentSafeTO score for 250 Cosburn Ave?

81 out of 100, from the City’s 2025 inspection. The City calls that band “needs improvement”. 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 250 Cosburn Ave 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 250 Cosburn Ave have?

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

How close is 250 Cosburn Ave to the subway?

Donlands is the nearest subway station, about 18 minutes on foot. That is estimated from straight-line distance, not a routed walk.
