Questions about The Marquee
Answered from the City’s register and Ontario’s Residential Tenancies Act. General information, not legal advice.
Is The Marquee rent controlled?
Very likely. The register says The Marquee was built in 2005. 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 Marquee?
The City of Toronto’s apartment building register lists Medallion Corporation as the property manager.
What is the RentSafeTO score for The Marquee?
96 out of 100, from the City’s 2026 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 Marquee 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 Marquee 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 The Marquee to the subway?
Dufferin is the nearest subway station, more than half an hour away on foot. That is estimated from straight-line distance, not a routed walk.
