As the city filed it
On July 21, 2020, the Province passed Bill 184, Protecting Tenants and Strengthening Community Housing Act, 2020. Among other things, it made several amendments to the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 that changed some of the procedural rules for landlord and tenant applications brought before the Landlord and Tenant Board. On July 28 and 29, 2020, City Council directed the City Solicitor to commence a legal challenge to those amendments.

On March 30, 2021, the City issued a Notice of Application in Superior Court, seeking to challenge the validity of the amendments. The parties have now exchanged their application materials and are in the process of completing cross-examinations on their witnesses' affidavit evidence. Following this, the parties will agree to a date for the exchange of their written legal arguments and request a hearing date from the court. The City Solicitor brings this confidential report in order to seek further instructions.
