One of the most significant features of Ontario's new rent, review system is the establishment of a computerized, province wide Rent Registry. Until now, it was often difficult for tenants to verify that their rents were legal. The new Rent Registry will record the maximum legal rent which can be charged for every private rental unit in the province. When the registration process is complete, this information will be available free of charge to tenants, prospective tenants and landlords. Rent information will be updated annually. Larndlor(h of (ill private rental units in. the province will be required to register their rents with the new Registry. When the landlord's units are properly registered, the Registry computer will automati- cally update the rents each year. The Registry will record rent increases for ea& unit of either the Guideline amount announced annually or by the amount decided upon in a rent review decision. Landlords will soon receive registration kits. Landlords of rental complexes with more than six units are being sent registration kits with the necessary forms to be completed. Landlords who have not received a regis- tration kit by February 2, 1987, should phone or visit their local Rent Review Office. Landlords of smaller complexes can also olitain registration kits by calling their local office.
