Ontario has introduced rules designed to give tenants clearer protections when installing air-conditioning units, while preserving reasonable safety requirements for landlords.
Tenants may still need to provide notice, use a qualified installer where appropriate and ensure that a unit is securely installed. Landlords may address documented electricity costs or genuine building-safety concerns, but cannot rely on arbitrary restrictions.
Because lease terms and building conditions differ, tenants and landlords should keep written records and consult the official rules before installing a unit.
