Retrofits for tenants and landlords
This page is a DRAFT. We’re just getting started, so there’s not as much here as on some of the other pages. If you’re a Perth County renter or landlord, please let us know what kind of information you’re looking for.
TENANTS
Begin by learning your rights as a tenant.
LANDLORD
What are the benefits available to landlords who upgrade their property?
What are the obligations of landlords?
What regulations apply?

Information below should be entered if it applies to landlords and tenants. In other words, if it’s about how a heat pump works, that goes on the home retrofits page. If it’s about how a heat pump should be installed in a multistorey apartment, or if it talks about ev charger regulations for landlords, it goes here. If you mention a loan/grant, it should be linked to the financial page, so we keep all that in one place.
Unless you think that’s confusing? All of this can be changed. It will be easier once we put it together.
ACORN
See this record of presentations on tenant rights in Ontario provided by Acorn, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. Although they have no chapter in Perth County, there are chapters not too far aay in Toronto and London.

Quick and easy
What’s the easiest way to combat climate change?
How about a listing here of all the things we can do, with maybe a chart on how much each action can save the householder? Or maybe some examples from the community? People might send in photos? Other ideas?
