Ontario Fire Code Updates - What Landlords Need to Know Now:

Recent fires in tenanted properties across Ontario — including a tragic fatality that resulted in a landlord being sentenced to jail — have brought renewed attention to landlord responsibilities under the Ontario Fire Code.

For housing providers, this is no longer just about best practices — it’s about compliance, liability, and protecting lives.

This special webinar is designed to give landlords and real estate investors a clear, practical understanding of their obligations under the updated fire code, and how to ensure their properties are fully compliant.

What You’ll Learn:

- Key updates and requirements under the Ontario Fire Code
- Landlord responsibilities for smoke alarms, CO detectors, and fire safety systems
- Common compliance mistakes that can lead to fines, charges — or worse
- What inspectors look for during fire safety inspections
- How to properly document compliance and protect yourself legally
- Practical steps you can take immediately to reduce risk in your rental properties

Why This Matters Now:

Recent enforcement cases — including a fatal fire in a rental property that led to criminal charges and jail time for a landlord — have made it clear that fire code violations carry serious consequences.

Whether you own a single rental or a growing portfolio, understanding your obligations is critical to protecting your tenants, your investment, and yourself.
