Dear Stakeholders:

RE:     Public Consultation on the Next Edition of The Ontario Fire Code

The Ministry of the Solicitor General is currently seeking input on proposed changes for the next edition of the Ontario Fire Code, O. Reg. 213/07 made under the Fire Protection and Prevention Act, 1997.

More and more of our members have succeeded with small rental investments and are now investing in larger units. And many of these larger units have elevators.

Ontario Landlords Association members are proud to make sure our members put “safety first” for all aspects of our rentals to protect tenants.

One our most most important requires for our members is to always make your properties safe for your tenants.

We never want to see tragedies happen that could have been avoided had the landlords been Ontario Landlords Association members.

TSSA reached out to us:

Dear Ontario Landlords Association And Our Safety Partners,
