LONDON, ONT. London will consider expanding the requirement to license rental units to include highrises and stacked townhouses. On Tuesday, several tenants spoke to the Community and Protective Services (CAPS) Committee in support of a political push to crack down on negligent landlords. A downtown tenant told the committee that the province’s Landlord and Tenant Act falls short of protecting low-income renters. “We need more ways to hold them (landlords) accountable because it’s a reactionary system where the poor get screwed because we’re either busy working or busy at school,” she said. Currently, city hall only licenses small-scale landlords requiring fire and building code inspections.
