Keeping heat low in winter to save money
Tenants of a large East York apartment building say they’re catching colds and wearing parkas to bed because their landlord refuses to keep the heat high enough... About 30 residents of 75 Eastdale Ave. staged a protest in their building lobby Saturday to draw attention to the issue that they say has been chilling their homes for as long as six years. “Tenants are leaving the stove on — they have no other choice,” said a tenant who’s been at the address for five years. “It’s putting the whole building at risk.” The group of tenants allege CAPREIT, a property management company that owns interests in over 50,000 residential units in Canada according to its website, has been keeping the temperature too cold in the winter months. https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2018/01/08/east-york-tenants-accusing-landlord-of-not-keeping-heat-high-enough.html
