About this statute

This section amends key definitions in the Rental Housing Act, including “habitability,” “head of department,” and “local municipality.” This provision amends several definitions in the Rental Housing Act, including habitable dwelling, head of department, maintenance, Minister, and prescribed. This provision inserts a new section after section 1 in the principal Act, titled “Objectives of Act.” This section states the Act’s objectives for rental housing, including promoting rental housing, access to adequate housing, the functioning of the rental market, tenant-landlord relations, and protection against illegal actions. The Minister must monitor and assess rental housing impacts, develop relief and policy measures, and report annually to Parliament.
