Overview
A 34-page handbook from Toronto's City Planning dated March 2026, linked from the City's Housing page as the Rental Housing Demolition and Replacement Handbook. It explains the City's rental housing demolition framework for applications involving six or more rental units. Chapters cover demolition processes, replacement rental units, tenant assistance including right to return and moving allowances, and what happens before, during and after tenants move. Definitions and two appendices follow. A summary brochure and the demolition control by-law sit beside it.
