Ontario Supreme Court would cn hole residential tenancy commission to take over rent che ques from landlord and carry out needed repairs should landlords not hccd an initial warning Bob Bentley residential tenancy commissioner for the area said Thursday that under bill ltii landlord could be Jfl iscd to effect repairs by of an authorizing letter If the landlord didnt fix things up follow ing the request the commission could take over the cash flow conung from the tenants and do the work themselves be said Bentley was speaking at property standards conference in Barrie The bill is currently being challenged before the court but if passed it would likely take effect in early 1980 Bentley said Landlords would naturally not want their cash flow inter nipted and would likely repair apartments more quickly he said Currently if ltiltdltlltlgt refuse to do the work tenants can take them to court he said But it can prove costly and dif ficult for the rural person who is 300 miles away from the nearest court he said This could help out in cases such as the Citys Block where some residents were recently cut off from hydro because the landlord didnt pay the bill be said But under Bill 163 the commission would pick up the hydro bill while interrupting the cash flow from the landlord and service would continue he said It would save tenants from actions such as tht done by one landlord in Barrie who used to take doors off apartments if tenants fell behind in their rent Bentley said Bentley was the former officer under the rent review com mission but that act expires today after almost fouryear sum The former rent review act was established in conjunction with the antiinflation bord in 1975 which had no jurisdiction in accommodation So each province had to come up with formula of their ow Bentley said In Ontario landlords had to apply to the commission if in creases were over six per cent he said But commissmneis found in the past few years them were more problems than simply to do with rent said Bentley The reSidential tenancies act which becomes effective to day makes landlords fill out cost revenue statement which gives the type of buildings and their complete financial situa tion he said There are only about five per cent of tenants who dont care and five per cent of landlords who fall into the same category he said As result some persons ask why the trouble is taken when the problems are in the minority he said Its like man whos been told he has cancer and is told every one in 100000 gets it said Bentley The odds dont do much good when its you he said bylaw has been drafted to provide for the numbering of buildings but council isnt certain when the bylaw will be passed Trustee named committee chairman loliii MLLUIIOUgh Midland trustee
