Recommendations for Municipalities Focus: Extreme Heat and Rental Housing
September 21, 2022
This report recommends and provides draft
language for a maximum heat municipal bylaw, which would require
landlords to maintain a maximum temperature of 26°C in rental units. The
recommendation accounts for the worsening climate crisis and the
disproportionate impact of extreme heat on vulnerable populations
including the elderly, those with chronic illnesses and mobility
challenges, and those that are socially and materially disadvantaged.
