Questions about 55 Madison Ave

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

Is 55 Madison Ave rent controlled?

Very likely. The register says 55 Madison Ave was built in 1896. 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 55 Madison Ave?

The City of Toronto’s apartment building register lists Sylmar Investments Inc as the property manager.

What is the RentSafeTO score for 55 Madison Ave?

Does 55 Madison Ave allow pets?
