All hot water is required to be supplied at a temperature between 45 degrees Celsius and 60 degrees Celsius in every dwelling unit.

If the heating system is not working because it is under repair or being maintained there is no violation.

If you have concerns about hot water in your unit, please speak to the owner, landlord or property manager. You should make your request in writing and keep a copy of your request.
