ONTARIO TO INCREASE PENALTIES FOR DISTRACTED, CARELESS DRIVERS


The provincial government is moving to increase the penalties for distracted and careless drivers.

If legislation is passed, a first offence for driving distracted would see your licence suspended for three days. Fines which are currently in the $300-$1000 range would go up to $500-$1000. There would be higher monetary and demerit point penalties for second and third offences.

The government is proposing higher penalties for drivers who don't yield to cyclists.

New Rent Control Rules REALTORS® Need to Know

With the introduction of the Ontario's Fair Housing Plan back in April 2017, several measures included in the 16-point plan focused on the rental housing market, becoming Bill 124, the Rental Fairness Act, 2017.

One of the most controversial stipulations of Bill 124 relates to evictions. REALTORS® need to be aware that as of September 1, 2017, when a landlord ends a tenancy for personal use of the rental unit (for themselves or family member), landlords must provide one month's rent to the tenant or offer the tenant another acceptable rental unit.

September Dear Friend News Letter

September 2017

Dear Friend,

There is a lot of misinformation in the real estate market these days. The confusion is created by the fact that we have different markets in different areas of the city and yet people are trying to have a general statement over the whole marketplace. Imagine, it’s like having a one size fits all bathrobe that can fit a five-foot person or six-foot person. Yes, it fits but not really well. That’s the problem with general statements.

Coming soon, another costly burden on harried homeowners — mandatory energy audits

Green groups are lobbying for the $400-$600 audit to be a requirement for every house on the market — for Ontario residents, it is soon to be a harsh reality.

Earlier this month a coalition of environmental advocacy groups headlined by the Pembina Institute released a set of 10 demands directed towards the federal and provincial governments regarding the construction industry. The group says these changes are necessary if Canada is to reach its overly-ambitious (some might say impossible) 2030 targets under the Paris climate change agreement.
