states that the maximum renv tal increase to be applied for is eight per cent without resorting to the rent revmw officer if the landlord requires an in crease above eight per cent he or she must apply to the rental officer With the needed data so that an informed doctsron can be made Rent increases above eight pe rent will be granted on the basis of increas ed costs In that case any increase must reflect the operating costs of the building concerned Separ ate submissions on each unit are unnecessary as the rent review officer will fix common date to review all cases Where the rent review officer approves in favor of the landlord the land lord may charge the higher rent retroactive to the effective date of the tenancy agreement Or the opposite applies where the rent officer finds in favor of the ten ant INFORMAL HEARINGS All hearings will be conduct ed informally with lawyer not liker to be needed If neither landlord nor tenant show tip or are not represented at the bear ings you

After month of trial drivers views on buckling up regulations are still varied with some resenting the mandatory aspects it was indi cated by survey just complet ed checkup revealed that mo torists generally are complying with the new law but there has been grumbling from some The chief criticism has concerned the mandatory rule for buckling up seat belts for short drives in 30 miles per hour or less zones Some felt the $20 minimum fine was too severe and should not exceed that of parking ticket The maximum fine is $100 for neglecting to buckle up seat belts Ive buckled up my seatbelt every day since Jan but not because like it said motor ist who felt buckling up should only be required for highway driving over 30 miles per hour Im not going to break the law but think the Allistun council was right IIISTON COUNCIL lbe Alliston council placed it sclt on record as opposing the regulation before it was pass ed and early in January reaf firmed its stand The suggestion was made that the reduced speed limits which went into effect at the same time as buckling up regulations would do more for road safety member of the Alliston coun cil when asked if he had chang ed his opinion after few weeks trial observed If it really saves lives guess we should be glad to buckle up But am still not convinced of its need for lower speed zones and dont think it should be mandatory by law buckle up unless forget crosssection of about 60 drivers most of whom were ask ed their views month ago gain gave mixed views about the new law Some critics appeared indignant but others felt the in creasingaccident toll justified drastic action The lowering 0f the speed limits were mentioned as being an important step to ward belping safety as well as increasing gasoline mileage An Oro service station atten dant said he noticed motorists driving in for gasoline were all buckled up in compliance with regulations although he said some grumbled about the law buckle up myself because it is the
