Whats that Ontario residents still ask By PETER LESNIAK Examiner Staff Reporter Despite all the free publici ty and millions spent in government advertising there are still quite few tenants unaware of Ontarios rent review program and paying illegal rent increases So said Bob Bentley Barrie rent review manager and other program officials Thursday who are touring the province to drum up business and to present pro gram progress reports Sincc the program was launched in February 14211 hearings have been held in volving some 11956 units resulting in rollbacks from the average requested in crease of 2104 per cent to 1401 per cent rent review executivedirector Bill Rob binssaid The average monthly rent in the province has been reduced from $21962 to $20686 under the program which limits maximum an nual rent increases without rent review to eight per cent Any increases greater than eight per cent is illegal unless justified before rent review W9 bicycle thcrs par ticipating in the

an average allowable month ly rent of $19015 according to statistics complied by rcnt revicwofficials DISTURIIII These figures are somewhat distorted Mr Bentley said due to the inor dinately largc percentage of mobile homcs in the area for which rents were adjusted He added the average lil lowed monthly rent is actual ly lower here The Ontario government has budgeted Skimillion for the first fiscal ycar of the pro gram which is slated to for minatc Aug 1977 and ex pools to hold some 7000 hear ings There are 12million rental units in the province and rent review officials estimate that for

to the federal governments antiinflation legislation which is tem porary hedge against spirall ing wages and prices Whether the program be comes permanent will be assessed next summer after officials and politicians weigh lllf impacts against the bcncfits Mr Robbins said So far he said its too premature to say what affect rciit review has had on the supply of rental accommodav tion Its difficult to sort out im pacts from some other things Mr Robbins said lie noted that the present slowdown in apartment buildings construction is par tially the result of rent review but high land costs and high mortgage interests rates have also had an in fluence The government has only bad to take legal action against one landlord who has refused to comply with the legislation The matter is now before the courts and will be test case of the legislation Mr Robbins said Another fact about rent review which many tenants are unaware of is that its possible request hearing to have landlord justify rent increase of less than eight per cent Mr Robbins said nly justified increases in costs to the landlord will be permitted to be asscd on to the tenant Robbins said The legislation docs not increase

commercial and busi ness area of the city says city planning director Wayman Fairweather The plan should be amended as the civic affairs committee of the Greater Barrie Chamber of Com merce has suggested he said but more positive action is needed to help the city core com te effectively with the Bay ield malls for shoppers Efforts such as the recent twoday downtown mall gave the core tremendous boost and made people aware of what fun place the city cen tre can be he said He added the mail has pro ven itself as peoplegetter and boon to downtown mer chants who have been left in the
