Questions about 71 Merton St
Answered from the City’s register and Ontario’s Residential Tenancies Act. General information, not legal advice.
Is 71 Merton St rent controlled?

Units let at market rent in the same building can follow the guideline. Ask the housing provider which applies to your unit.
