Rent Control in Ontario refers to a system of rent regulation in Ontario, Canada which limits the amount by which the rent paid by tenants for rental accommodation can increase. ==History== Rent regulation was first introduced in Ontario under the ''National Housing Act 1944''. After lobbying by business it was repealed in under a decade. The modern history of rent controls began in July 1975 when the ''Residential Premises Rent Review Act 1975'' was enacted after the demand for rent controls became a major issue in the period leading to the 1975 provincial election. In 1979, the ''Residential Tenancies Act'' was enacted.〔 In 1985, the new Liberal government tightened rent controls with the ''Residential Rent Regulation Act'' and in 1992 the New Democratic Party government of Bob Rae passed the ''Rent Control Act 1992''. The ''Tenant Protection Act 1997'' was enacted by the Progressive Conservative government of Mike Harris and proclaimed in June 1998. The Act retained selected rights and obligations contained in Part IV of the previous ''Landlord and Tenant Act''. (Parts I, II, and III were retitled the ''Commercial Tenancies Act''.) The ''Tenant Protection Act'' both repealed the ''Rent Control Act'' and removed the dispute resolution process of the ''Landlord Tenant Act'', including evictions and rent increases, from the Ontario court system and assigned jurisdiction to a newly created quasi-judicial body, the Ontario Rental Housing Tribunal. Under the TPA landlord applications for eviction were automatically granted without a hearing unless the tenant filed a notice of dispute within five days. This provision, had been the subject of a complaint to the Ontario Ombudsman and was removed from the new Act. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rent control in Ontario」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
