Three new laws will take effect across Ontario in July 2025.
Three major laws will take effect in Ontario this July. These rules aim to protect renters, give more rights to gig workers, and offer support to people with disabilities. From housing to jobs to income help, these laws cover key areas that touch many lives.
Starting July 31, 2025, Toronto will enforce a new bylaw. It targets landlords who evict tenants under the excuse of doing renovations. These are called “renovictions.”
Now, landlords must get a special renovation licence before giving eviction notices. They must meet strict rules first. That includes getting permits, hiring licensed experts, and proving the renovation needs the unit empty.
Landlords must also:
City inspectors will monitor the process. Breaking the rules can lead to big fines — up to $100,000 for illegal evictions.
On July 1, 2025, Ontario will introduce the Digital Platform Workers’ Rights Act. It gives better pay and job security to workers on apps like Uber or DoorDash.
Under the new law, gig workers will:
This law covers all gig workers, even if they aren’t classified as employees. Businesses must follow strict rules or face heavy fines — up to $500,000 for repeat offenses.
Starting July 2025, Canada will launch the Canada Disability Benefit. It gives up to $200 monthly ($2,400 per year) to low-income adults with disabilities.
To qualify, people must:
People with low income (under $23,000 yearly) will receive full benefits. Those with higher income will receive smaller amounts. Some temporary residents may also qualify.
Applications opened on June 20, 2025. Those approved by June 30 will get payments starting in July. Late applicants can still receive payments backdated up to two years.
You can apply online, by phone, by mail, or at Service Canada offices.
These laws protect those who are often left out — renters, gig workers, and people with disabilities. They aim to stop unfair evictions, raise job standards, and ease financial stress for those in need.
Renters:

Gig Workers:
Read the new law. Know your rights. Report violations if needed.
