Key Aspects of Ontario Real Estate Law

1. Ontario Real Estate and Business Brokers Act (REBBA)

This legislation regulates real estate agents and brokers, setting licensing requirements, client obligations, disclosure rules, and trust accounting standards.

2. Land Registration System

Ontario’s land registry system records all real estate transactions, ensuring secure and transparent property ownership.

3. Title and Ownership

A property title must be clear and transferable, with all liens or encumbrances disclosed, as ownership is fundamental to real estate transactions.

4. Agreements of Purchase and Sale

These legally binding contracts outline essential transaction details, including purchase price, closing date, and specific conditions.

5. Deposit Protection

Buyer deposits are safeguarded under REBBA, with funds held in trust by the seller’s real estate brokerage until closing.

6. Zoning and Land Use Regulations

Municipal zoning laws dictate permitted land use, distinguishing between residential, commercial, and industrial areas.

7. Tarion Warranty Corporation

Tarion provides warranties for newly built homes, protecting buyers against construction defects and builder-related issues.

8. Foreign Ownership Restrictions

Certain regulations apply to foreign buyers, imposing restrictions or additional conditions for purchasing residential properties.

9. Environmental Regulations

Real estate properties must comply with environmental laws, particularly regarding hazardous materials, wetlands, and protected areas.

10. Rent Control Laws

Ontario’s rent control regulations limit rent increases, ensuring fairness in landlord-tenant relationships.

11. Anti-Discrimination Laws

Real estate transactions must adhere to anti-discrimination laws, ensuring equal access to housing regardless of race, religion, gender, disability, or family status.

12. Property Taxation

Property taxes are assessed based on the property’s value and must be paid by homeowners.
