As per the Rental Tenancies Act (RTA), there are a few ways in which tenants can legally share their rental home or have someone else take it over from them in Ontario, but each is different and governed by a specific set of rules.RoommatesA tenant in Ontario can choose to share their rental home with roommates or move in a partner or spouse with no legal obligation to inform or take permission from the landlord.“The way that I like to frame it generally is it’s frankly none of the landlord’s business who else lives in your unit,” says Don Valley Community Legal Services staff lawyer Karly Wilson.“If you wanna add a tenant to a lease, then you have to obviously communicate that to the landlord because that’s a contract between the two of you. But if it’s just someone moving into the unit and they’re paying rent to you directly, and then you pay it to the landlord, that’s totally fine.

An East York brewery said it’s closing it doors in Toronto and moving out of town due to rising costs.Jeff Manol, co-founder of Muddy York Brewing Co. first opened the brewery nine years ago with his wife Susan and now employs eight people.But rising costs have led them to make the decision to move the business out of Toronto to Stouffville.“We were hoping the business would grow, we could gain capital and then eventually buy the building and it stayed out of our reach the whole time. Every time we had enough money, the building [cost] doubled. So it’s triple what it was worth 10 years,” Manol told CityNews.The building has now been conditionally sold, the lease isn’t being renewed. He described leasing another space nearby as “potentially doable” but added lease rates have shot up too and industrial spaces in the size he needs are hard to find. “That would definitely put a strain on what we’re doing.

Two transgender boys are suing the University of Missouri over its decision to stop providing gender-affirming care to minors over concerns that a new state law could create legal issues for its doctors.The lawsuit, filed Thursday in federal court, alleges that the university is discriminating against the teens based on their diagnoses of gender dysphoria. The new Missouri law, which took effect Aug. 28, outlawed puberty blockers, hormones and gender-affirming surgery for minors. But there are exceptions for youth who were already taking those medications before the law kicked in, allowing them to continue receiving that health care. The suit said that the teens, who are identified only by their initials, should be covered under that “grandfather clause” and allowed to continue receiving treatment. University of Missouri spokesperson Christian Basi said Friday that the four-campus system is reviewing the lawsuit and is not in a position to discuss it. Asked about it Thursday after a...Missouri nurses save man having heart attack in Austrian cave

The four heroes said it was a team effort to save the man's life. Call it the right place at the right time. Four nurses who normally take care of patients at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City were on hand to save a man's life while on vacation in Austria. Kansas woman who beat the odds meets Taylor Swift at Chiefs game "Nurse mode kicked in, and we ran," nurse Meg Green said. Green said they were in a remote ice cave on top of a mountain when a man collapsed. "With my hand still on his neck, feeling for a pulse, I was screaming up at the girls that he didn't have a pulse, and they were down there in seconds," nurse Fallon Olf said. Olf said strangers shined their phones and lanterns where they needed light and they got to work."We immediately w...'Everyone deserves a dignified home': West Side company offers housing option for migrants

"Some of which have trade experience, many of which have been building homes for the first time." Swanson said he and his 8-year-old daughter plan to spend the weekend living in the microhome."It’s 80-square-feet," Swanson said. "It has electricity, so it's heated and cooled.
