Questions about The Summit

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

Is The Summit rent controlled?

Very likely. The register says The Summit was built in 1967. 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.

Who manages The Summit?

The City of Toronto’s apartment building register lists Westdale Properties as the property manager.

What is the RentSafeTO score for The Summit?

86 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 Summit allow pets?

The register does not record 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 Summit have?

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

How close is The Summit to the subway?

Dupont is the nearest subway station, about 5 minutes on foot. That is estimated from straight-line distance, not a routed walk.
