## Resource

Toronto is fast-tracking a landmark heat bylaw that will cap apartment temperatures at 26°C, with implementation set for June 2027—two summers ahead of staff’s original timeline. Landlords will now be legally responsible for keeping units cool, a long-awaited win for tenant advocates battling rising summer heat. But costs loom large: retrofitting older buildings will be expensive, prompting city staff to seek intergovernmental funding and explore rent protections to prevent hikes. Meanwhile, tenants already get some relief starting July 1, with legal permission to install their own AC units if landlords fail to provide central cooling—provided they’re installed safely.
