. Ramlal Hemchand v. Toronto Community Housing Corporation
In Ramlal Hemchand v. Toronto Community Housing Corporation (Div Court, 2023) the Divisional Court considered a large rent arrears order from the LTB for a social housing unit. At a prior JR the tenant-appellant unsuccessfully argued against that local RGI decision, illustrating the expected procedural route where a social housing tenant challenges an RGI termination [as per RTA s.203]:
[5] In the tenant’s notice of appeal, he alleged that he had wrongly lost his rent-geared-to-income (“RGI”) assistance, resulting in a large rent increase and the rental arrears. Before moving forward with his appeal, he was permitted to await a decision in a related application for judicial review that was before this Court. He had sought judicial review of a decision of the City of Toronto Review Board regarding his eligibility to receive RGI assistance.
[6] The tenant’s judicial review application regarding RGI was dismissed.[1]
