Rental Evictions in the City of Toronto
The TORONTO STAR's map of Toronto
Eviction Application Rates.
In the City of Toronto, eviction application rates are highest in South Riverdale/Leslieville, followed by the east downtown and Parkdale. Rates are also high in eastern Leslieville, Thorncliffe Park, the Annex and lakeshore Etobicoke.
Information was obtained by STAR web editor Patrick Cain from the Landlord and Tenant Board under access-to-information legislation.
The TORONTO STAR's map of Toronto's top addresses for eviction applications. All addresses with three or more are marked.
This map looks at the top individual addresses for eviction applications in Toronto.
The pattern of dots tends to follow the rough check-mark shape that we saw in the low-income households map back in October. There are strong clusters centred around Jarvis and Shuter, in Parkdale and Thorncliffe Park.
Crime Rates in the City of Toronto
This set of six maps cover sexual assault, assault, robbery, breaking and entering, auto theft and theft over $5,000.
Their usefulness is showing how crime, or at least reported crime, varies between neighbourhoods. Breaking and entering is concentrated in 55, 51, 52 and 14 Divisions, in the central city. The city's northwest (23 and 31 Divisions), on the other hand, seems to suffer more car theft.

The Real Estate Council of Ontario regulates the real estate industry on behalf of the Ontario government and is responsible for administering and enforcing the Real Estate and Business Brokers Act, 2002 (REBBA 2002), which includes a comprehensive realtors' CODE OF ETHICS.
RECO regulates the activity of trade in real estate in the public interest. Protecting the
public interest is achieved through:
- Enforcing the standards required to obtain and maintain registration as a
brokerage, broker or REALTORS® and delivering the duties of the Registrar;
- Establishing minimum requirements for pre-registration and continuing education;
- Conducting routine inspections of brokerage offices to ensure compliance with
REBBA 2002 and educate brokers;
- Addressing inquiries, concerns and complaints about the conduct of registrants
received from all sources and taking appropriate action to protect the public interest;
- Establishing and administering insurance requirements, which include consumer deposit protection; and
- Promoting ongoing education and competent, knowledgeable and professional service.
