Ontario’s rental landscape is undergoing massive changes with updates under Bill 97 and Bill 60 taking effect. Whether you are an investor, landlord, or tenant, these new Residential Tenancies Act (RTA) rules directly impact your rights, timelines, and bottom line.

In this video, we break down what shifted in July, what drops on September 21st, and what to expect for the upcoming Fall real estate market!

Fall Ontario Real Estate & Rental Market Predictions

September 21st: N4 non-payment timeline cut from 14 to 7 days, 50% arrears deposit rule to raise maintenance claims at hearings, and new 120-day N12 compensation exemptions paired with strict 60-day occupancy rules.

🍁 Fall Market Outlook:Expect increased inventory as landlords align with new operational guidelines and buyers wait on interest rate shifts. Shorter eviction windows will likely bring higher scrutiny on tenant screening, while price dynamics adjust to autumn demand.
