RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY TAX
REDUCTIONS FOR 1969
A Special Notice to
Tenantsand Landlords
T enants in apartment
buildings should re-
ceive a little extra money
• this month under the
Ontario Government's
property tax reduction
system. 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.
Pamphlets outlining details of the
1969 tax reduction system can be ob-
tained on request.

Prhiee Albert, husband of
Queen Victoria, is credited with
introducing the Christmas tree
to England at the time Charles
Dickens wrote his classic story
"A Christmas Carol". Since
then it has become more popular
year after year, with decorations
becoming more elaborate and
more colorful; but electric light-
ing, while colourful, can pose
serious hazards - particularly
fire. Follow this advice for a
happy and a sale Christmas.
The ideal Christmas tree light
set of the conventional kind
should have these characteris-
tics: tt should be light in weight;
sockets should be strong enough
not to break or crack if'
stepped on; they shoeld have
means for secure fastening to
the tree branches (usually
a metal or plastic clip). To re-
duce tangling and to improve
appearance, parallel-wired sets.
should have their cords enclosed
in a single covering.
Check lights and wiring
thoroughly before hanging them.
Discard defective lights, and any
wiring that is frayed or bare. Be
sure the fuse on the electrical
circuit you use is not over 15
amperes.
Carefully follow all instructions
