Toronto Star | Could Toronto legislate a maximum temperature in apartments? @torontostar | Uploaded June 2024 | Updated October 2024, 14 hours ago.
A coalition of tenant and environmental advocacy organizations are demanding Toronto bring in a maximum temperature bylaw. Similar to the way landlords must keep units heated when it's cold, the coalition wants the city to legislate protections to keep residences no warmer than 26 degrees when outdoor temperatures increase. A punishing heat wave has descended over large parts of Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada. (June 18, 2024 / The Canadian Press)
