Questions about Balfour Square
Answered from the City’s register and Ontario’s Residential Tenancies Act. General information, not legal advice.
Is Balfour Square rent controlled?
Very likely. The register says Balfour Square was built in 1969. 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 Balfour Square?
The City of Toronto’s apartment building register lists Homestead Land Holdings Limited as the property manager.
What is the RentSafeTO score for Balfour Square?
94 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.
