The system eases the burden of municipal and school taxes on home- owners and tenants. In .effect, the Province is pay- ing part .of the property taxes for each eligible house and apartment. Tenants should receive their reductions on or be- fore Deceniber 31. Many tenants who vacated premises earlier in the year will have already received their reductions. Here is what should happen: IF YOU ARE A LANDLORD, • • You must pay the full reduction to tenants who have occupied your, premises throughout 1969. Pay- ment must be made on or before December 31, 1969. A tenant who moved in during the year and is still occupying your premises must receive one-twelfth of the total reduction for each month of tenancy. It must be paid on or before December 31. A tenant wl,o moved out during the year must receive a similarly pro- portionate amount within 30 days of the date he terminated his tenancy or on December 31, whichever is earlier. THE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY TAX REDUCTION ACT (1968) tas amended) If a tenant is in arrears, the tax reduction may be deducted from such ar- rears. However, the reduc- tion must not be withheld because of damages or losses. IF YOU ARE A TENANT... You should receive your reduction from your pres- ent landlord on or before December 31, 1969. If you 'moved out of an apartment during the year and have not yet received your share 'of the reduc- tion, you should contact your former landlord immediately to make sure he knows where to send your pay- ment. Tenants in apartment buildings such as duplexes and highrises are usually eligible for the tax reduc- tion. Tenants of flats or basement apartments in houses may not qual- ify because the premises they rent are not separately assessed. For example, roomers are not eligible. If you are unsure of your status or, eligibility, contact your municipal tax office. ,IF YOU ENCOUNTER PROBLEMS... You should either telephone Toronto 363-7501 or write the Municipal Sub- sidies Branch ,Department of Municipal Affairs, 801 Bay Street, Toronto 181. Officials are available to assist you.
