What do landlords in Toronto have to provide?
Heat to at least 21°C in every unit from October 1 to May 15, and, where a landlord provides air conditioning, cooling to no more than 26°C from June 1 to September 30. The City of Toronto also says landlords must respond within 24 hours to an urgent request about a vital service such as heat (City of Toronto). The rental heat guide covers what tenants are told to do.

How do I send work for a building?
Use the request form for businesses, once per address. Put the suite or the room in the description, with the site contact and the access: a lockbox, a superintendent or a tenant's number. Photos and video upload with it. Or text (289) 639-2754 from the property: the text lands in the same inbox.
Who may work on the gas equipment?
In Ontario, maintenance of furnaces and fuel-fired appliances must be performed by TSSA-registered contractors, with TSSA-certified gas technicians (TSSA). The Government of Ontario asks owners to have fuel-burning appliances, chimneys and vents inspected by professionals every year, and requires carbon monoxide alarms in homes with one (Government of Ontario). The alarm guide has where they go since January 1, 2026.
