PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

A

s another summer draws to a close, families across the province are preparing for the back-to-school season, returning from well-deserved vacations, and bracing for the cooler temperatures ahead. With this seasonal shift, our team is also gearing up for a change in pace as we prepare for the return of the legislature. Our mission remains clear: we will continue to advocate for the development of more purpose-built rental housing—urging all orders of government to "just say yes" to more housing.

We see the gradual decline in interest rates being a welcome relief for all Ontarians as we continue to navigate the ongoing affordability crisis.

Lower rates could significantly impact housing supply and refurbishment, making it easier to finance new developments and essential upgrades to existing properties. This will be key to ensuring every Ontarian has access to a safe and suitable home that meets their needs.

Our engagement with both the federal and provincial governments remains productive and ongoing. We are dedicated to positioning FRPO, and by extension our members, as the go-to experts in the rental housing sector. We support many of the federal government's measures to bring TONY IRWIN President & CEO more affordable units to market, while recognizing the need for the FRPO market to remain balanced and healthy for residents and providers alike.

Provincially, our work with Minister Calandra and his ministry's initiatives to build the housing Ontario desperately needs is progressing well. The productive discussions at the Association of Municipalities of Ontario's annual conference have set a positive tone for the upcoming legislative session.

Looking ahead, FRPO continues to engage with the media to shape the narrative around the rental housing market and position our members as Ontario’s professional rental housing providers. A highlight was a series of interviews with CBC Radio on the state of the market and the pressures Ontarians face with housing availability and affordability.

Our message? The need for dramatic increases in the supply of purpose-built rentals.

As we head into fall, our priorities remain sharply focused on advocating for increased rental housing supply across Ontario. Our commitment to working with partners, members, and stakeholders remains strong as we strive to turn policy into tangible results. With the continued support, professionalism, and dedication of our members, our industry will continue to be the strong partner that Ontario needs.

Tony Irwin President and CEO FRPO

et’s Build Ontario (LBO) continues to advocate for addressing the urgent need of more supply of purpose-built rental housing. As we move into fall, you can expect to see LBO take on a redefined strategic approach to how we frame the housing and affordability crisis that continues to affect all Ontarians. It’s time for NIMBYs to move out of the way and make room for the YIMBYs! LBO’s advocacy will be anchored in: Reframing what delays at the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) mean. Delays at the LTB have a real-life impact on residents and can create tense environments, reduce service quality, and increase stress for both residents and rental housing providers. There is a light at the end of the tunnel as some improvements have started. But improving the system at the LTB should be a priority alongside more supply for a balanced, healthy purpose-built rental market that serves everyone.

NIMBY - Not in my backyard YIMBY - Yes, in my backyard 14

FAIR EXCHANGE | FALL EDITION 2024

Building awareness around the need to fix delays with real stories. By showcasing the stories of those affected by long delays, including both residents and providers— that have the potential to affect over 1.7 million Ontarians—LBO aims to bring relatable and honest stories to the forefront of the conversation.

Showcasing the success stories. Through the promotion of member-driven good news stories, LBO aims to bring balance to the ongoing discussion around renting and showcase rental housing providers as community pillars.

Building a stronger public profile. Alongside the Federation of Rental-housing Providers of Ontario, LBO will support in expanding the reach of efforts that build on thought leadership efforts like op-eds, seminars, and video interviews, and will serve as a platform to foster relationships with the media.

WOMEN IN RENTAL HOUSING LUNCHEON

survey says...

As part of this year’s event, we surveyed our attendees to get a pulse on how women are feeling in the workplace

The recent survey offered some fascinating insights into what fuels joy and what drains energy in the workplace. A standout 52% of respondents pointed to a positive team culture as their source of happiness on the job. But on the flip side, managing stress and burnout is a real struggle for 47% of participants, with another 40% wishing their companies did more to help in this area. The culprits behind the stress? Lack of resources, heavy workloads, long hours, and the never-ending high-pressure demands.

When it comes to creating healthier, happier workplaces, 53% of people say flexible working arrangements are the way to go. And when we asked about networking, 67% of respondents are all about participating in industry events and conferences—so let’s make sure they get those chances! Interestingly, 50% of respondents also believe that men should attend women’s leadership events to form allyships, make connections, and gain a better understanding of different perspectives. These insights highlight the need to shake things up and make the workplace a better, more inclusive space for everyone.

This survey will be incorporated into future luncheons so that we can continue to see what’s working and what we can improve on. Thank you to all the women who participated in this year’s survey.

NEW CMHC RESEARCH SHOWS THE FILTERING PROCESS WORKS IN CANADA

H

ousing affordability is a challenge for many Canadians. Canada’s housing system faces a severe lack of housing that’s affordable. The long-term approach for addressing the lack of affordability is to build more housing, which improves affordability over time. This works through a process known as “filtering”. Filtering is the gradual transition of housing units from higher-income households to lower-income households as newer units are built (see Figure 1). This makes housing more affordable across the housing spectrum over the long term. This approach addresses the supply gap and can positively impact affordability for many Canadians, not just those moving into new units.

Figure 1: New Housing Spurs Vacancy Chains Higher-income household moves into new housing

New Housing

Middle-income household moves into vacated housing

Vacated Housing #1

Lower-income household moves into vacated housing

Vacated Housing #2

New CMHC research and international studies support filtering as a mechanism to provide more affordable housing in Canada. CMHC research finds that building mid-cost or a balanced mix of new housing cost types are the most effective for improving affordability and welfare. A balanced mix of new housing also reduces negative trade-offs (such as the out-migration of low-income families).

Newer rental housing of today will become tomorrow’s more affordable options CMHC research also finds that, relative to a new building, rents tend to fall 5% in the first four years following construction, after adjusting for inflation (see Figure 2). This declines to just short of 20% near the 20-year mark. As buildings mature, they tend to become more affordable for lower-income families.

On July 23, the lush greens of Lionhead Golf Club set the stage for a day of fun, friendly competition, and fantastic fundraising at the 2024 FRPO Charity Golf Classic. This year’s event teed off with a purpose, as we came together to support Interval House, an organization dedicated to helping women and children escape intimate partner violence.

The sun was shining, the mood was high, and the golf carts were revved up for a day that was all about swinging big and making a difference. Teams of industry pros, FRPO members, and avid golfers hit the course with their game faces on—but let’s be real, there were plenty of laughs and high-fives along the way. From tricky sand traps to picture-perfect putts, the course had something for everyone, and the competition was fierce, but always in good fun.

But the real heart of the day came during the post-tournament dinner, where the golf clubs were set aside, and the impact of the day was truly felt. Representatives from Interval House shared inspiring stories that reminded us all why we were there. The funds raised are set to make a huge difference, helping to support the incredible work Interval House does for women and children in need.

A Day of Golfing & Giving Tony Irwin, President and CEO, presented a cheque for $70,000 on behalf of the FRPO membership. In addition, another $21,000 was raised through our raffle and silent auction. Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, donors, and everyone who joined us on the greens, this year’s FRPO Charity Golf Classic was a hole-in-one for a great cause. The energy, the smiles, and the community spirit made it a day to remember—and the fact that we helped raise significant funds for Interval House made it even sweeter.

As the sun set on Lionhead, there was a sense of joy and accomplishment in the air. We can’t wait to do it all again next year, swinging for a cause and having a blast along the way!

Interval House is Canada’s first centre for women survivors of intimate partner violence and their children. Founded in 1973 by a feminist collective, they have always had a pioneering spirit, taking a holistic approach to helping women and children leave abuse behind and start new lives, free of violence.

W

e are thrilled to announce a landmark achievement in the partnership between FRPO and Interval House: raising $1 million after this year’s FRPO Charity Golf Classic! This funding supports Interval House’s crucial work in helping women and children escape intimate partner violence.

Since 2006, FRPO has proudly supported Interval House, leveraging our annual Charity Golf Classic to aid this vital cause. Our collective efforts ensure that women fleeing violence receive the support they need to rebuild their lives in safety.

Tony Irwin, President & CEO of FRPO, said, “We are committed to supporting Interval House and their critical services, which provide a new start for women survivors of intimate partner violence.”

In addition to our golf event, FRPO members contribute to Interval House’s housing initiatives, which offer affordable housing options to women and their children after leaving abusive situations.

“Safe and secure housing is essential for the women and children we assist, and FRPO’s support is crucial in meeting this need, especially given today’s challenging housing market,” said Interval House’s Executive Co-Director Lesley Ackrill.

Established in 1973, Interval House was the first shelter of its kind in Canada and continues to lead with innovative programs that empower women to forge new, violence-free futures. FRPO, founded in 1985 and a leading advocate for Ontario’s multi-family housing industry, is proud to collaborate with Interval House in striving for safer communities.

Together, we are making a difference and looking forward to continuing our support for safer, supportive communities.

ANSWERS TO YOUR HARD QUESTIONS ON UTILITY METERING SOFTWARE B y J e n n i fe r B ro w n , M a r ke t i n g D i re c t o r, W y s e M e t e r S o l u t i o n s

D

on’t be fooled by its name. There is nothing ‘soft’ about the issues software can cause for your business. When those issues involve the utility metering solution in your buildings, they can also create confusion in your systems, frustrations on your team, and unnecessary expenses for your budget.

This is even more reason for you not to shy away from the hard truths about software.

Rest assured, space-saving metering technology currently exists to integrate seamlessly into your building systems. The best-in-class examples provide a dedicated communication protocol, including a cellular connection, for all meters deployed. This saves you thousands in staff hours, labour, and conduit costs.

Some tech, for comparison, requires providers to install a computer within your buildings. That bulky tech takes up valuable space and needs constant attention (security, power, tech issues, reboots, etc.).

Leading one of Canada’s largest buyers of metering equipment, I know quality when I see it. Demand your provider to offer Measurement Canada-approved meters that incorporate an open-protocol, non-proprietary solution, which is exactly what you need to stay technologically advanced and budgetarily sound.

How is that, you ask?

Simple. These meters operate on what is referred to as an ‘open protocol’ platform, which is a type of digital software where the copyright holder allows users to use, study, change, and distribute the software to anyone and for any purpose.

Developers—the software kind, in this case—love opensource software as it is created and improved upon in a collaborative public manner. Every user around the world works together to improve the product and those solutions are shared for free with fellow users.

40

FAIR EXCHANGE | FALL EDITION 2024

Because of this, open-protocol systems experience rapid innovation when technologies change and find clever solutions when problems arise.

That’s like employing an IT team of thousands at no cost.

As a utility metering solution, open-source software provides quick, universal access without getting locked into proprietary programming or expensive updates. It makes the data transparent and easy to read at no cost to you. This is the kind of flexibility necessary to keep your buildings technologically nimble today and well into the future without costing you a ton of money.

Compare that to some legacy metering technologies, as well as other current technologies in the market.

Some of you may be shackled to proprietary meters operating on closed-source software, a type of digital software where, as you might guess from the name, the copyright holder keeps the source code safe and encrypted. No other developers may copy, modify or delete parts of the code without some type of consequence (e.g., voiding the warranty, legal repercussions).

The fallout can be frustrating, as you are locked into a specific closed software, stuck paying for constant software updates and patches, and, if you don’t keep up, you find yourself using constant workarounds. Innovation and fixes are at the whims of the vendor and their development team.

Instead of focusing on running your buildings, you are forced into finding solutions for your meters.

Don’t you think metering software should be the least of your problems?

Get the hard facts on software and how you should open yourself up to the idea of open-protocol meters.

EXCLUSIVE INSURANCE SOLUTION FOR PURPOSEBUILT RENTALS B y J a s o n C e d ro n e a n d J e n n i fe r S p a r fe l Earlier this year, Jones DesLauriers Insurance Management Inc. (JDIMI) became one of FRPO’s newest corporate members. Our motivation in joining FRPO was partially dictated by our desire to play a meaningful part in helping to support the rising challenges of housing affordability and the increased economic strain facing developers to meet the existing housing demand with new inventory.

For many Canadians, home ownership in our current economic climate is becoming more and more out of reach. Renting has increasingly become the default housing option for many Ontarians, and we see this growing demand for purpose-built rentals as a critical component in working toward solving our housing crisis.

Announcing a new to market exclusive insurance solution, Landlord Insurance Facility Tower (LIFT) offers a commonsense underwriting approach to the purposebuilt rental asset class segment. LIFT is our contribution to making rental properties more affordable for owners and developers to build, operate, manage, and maintain, therefore making rental housing more affordable and accessible to Canadian families.

assets in comparison to the underwriting terms generally offered for traditional condominium assets. Although condominiums and privately-owned rental buildings may be constructed of like materials, built in the same year, containing the same number of units, and located in the same geographic areas, the "risk" between condo vs. private ownership is deemed to be very "different". In our view, apartment buildings and purpose-built rentals have been unfairly considered higher risk by the underwriting community. As a result, the costs to operate, manage, and maintain your stabilized rental buildings are much greater than they should be.

When creating LIFT, our real estate team at JDIMI analyzed historical insurance data and claims over a 10-year sample size. The results were surprising, as we found the rates and deductibles applied to rental buildings (with the same physical characteristics and claims history as nearby condominium towers) consistently represented a higher multiplier. It was in this moment we recognized a disconnect between the practical business realities of condo vs. purposebuilt rental assets vs. historical perspectives of the underwriting community.

The LIFT program is designed for purpose-built rentals, new build construction, and stabilized assets. However, LIFT will also provide very competitive portfolio-based terms when commercial and mixed-use assets also form part of the overall asset portfolio. This program is an exclusive offering and does not disrupt your existing incumbent relationships. Our underwriting approach is unique and our goal, alongside FRPO, is to advocate for a balanced and healthy rental housing market that promotes a vital rental housing industry.

Over the last 25 years, the insurance marketplace has applied substantially different deductible terms and rates to insure purpose-built rental and apartment-style 44

2024 PAINT & COLOUR DESIGN TRENDS

As we enter a new era of explosive creativity and change, the coming years will see unprecedented shifts in the way we work, communicate, take care of our health, build and navigate our environments, explore digital worlds, create and design, and even how we share our identities with the world.

The prevailing winds of change indicate that cultural undercurrents are shifting in positive, expansive, creative, and LIMITLESS ways.

This year’s design trends and colour palettes are expressed as volumes instead of with unique names because each design direction ultimately represents a piece of a larger, more integrated whole, with the freedom to blend design elements from Volumes I, II, and III.

Dulux 2024 Colour of the Year: Limitless A fresh, warm hue, Limitless (DLX1091-3)—Dulux 2024 Paint Colour of the Year—contains both the power of a primary and the essence of a neutral. It is strong enough to stand as the leading colour of many projects, and yet works equally well as a supporting tone to both warm and cool shades. It is a fresh and energizing take on a neutral. Limitless works well with a wide range of colours and wood tones. At home with black and brass metals, it looks great with trending polished silver and bronze finishes, too. Its versatility among today’s decor trends is almost limitless!

Trends Volume I – Checking out of the world at large, turning elsewhere Reflecting an inward-looking focus to create a deeper, more holistically connected relationship with oneself, the calming, soothing, and softening tints and tones of Volume I are offset by warmed earthen and cooling twilight shades.

Ancient and futuristic references combine for a quiet and calming spirit.

50

FAIR EXCHANGE | FALL EDITION 2024

Trends Volume II – Transforming the world at large into a place of wonder & awe Through discovering a deepening relationship with nature and other environments, Volume II transforms spaces into places of wonder and awe. A generous range of earthy and natural greens pair with a bouquet of warm and floral hues, further energized by vivacious blues and kept in balance by dark neutrals. In interiors, these colours pair with marbles, resins, and even glossy or lacquered finishes—glamorous, new, and fresh! On the exterior, forever in fashion earthy browns and wood trims with dusty floral hues bring a new level of enchantment.

Trends Volume III – Defying & reinventing the world at large Referencing popular hues from the Baroque, Renaissance, Art Deco, and Pop Art periods, this palette combines the best of the best. Volume III aims to defy and reinvent the world at large, mashing together eras in a way that reads timeless without feeling formulaic. Elegance blends with a darkened mood in this palette. Juxtapose high gloss finishes to ultra-matte ones; mix contemporary furnishings with traditional architectural details.

GROWING RAT INFESTATIONS BECOMING A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR ONTARIO’S LARGEST CITIES B y S i m o n L e i t h , P re s i d e n t , H o m e p ro Pe s t C o n t ro l

N

o one wants to deal with rats. Frankly, they’re terrifying and they are multiplying out of control and quickly taking over major cities and growing communities across Ontario.

rat infestation can spiral out of control. That’s because rats are serial breeders. With roughly eight babies per litter, and a new litter every few weeks, one female rat can generate 15,000 new rats in a year!

Milder winters due to climate change have enabled rat populations to flourish by extending the months when rats can mate and feed. Combine this with construction booms across Ontario, which have disrupted rat habitats underground and forced these critters to search for new homes above ground and in residential neighbourhoods.

So how bad is the rat situation today?

Rats present a serious problem for apartment buildings.

Not only do they feed in the garbage bins outside of the building, but they can also gain entry into buildings through openings as small as a quarter. Once inside, they will chew through electrical wires, pipes, and gas lines—materials that hold apartment buildings together.

When it comes to apartment buildings, rats pose a serious risk of reputational harm, along with a host of health concerns. Rats and their droppings are known carriers of everything from food poisoning and the hantavirus to bubonic plague.

Disease aside, rats in apartment buildings can often leave residents feeling unsafe. Without quick action, a 52

We may think of New York as having a notable rat problem, but we’re not immune in Ontario either.

In Toronto, City councillors are looking to launch a rat task force in the City to deal with Toronto’s everexpanding construction industry and to make sure that rat issues are accounted for as part of any building planning. They note that a plan needs to move quickly, as the more things get mired in bureaucratic red tape, the more time rats have to reproduce.

In Ottawa, the City is trying another solution. Instead of trying to trap existing rats, the City is debating a proposal to cut off the supply of new ones by implementing a form of rat birth control that has been used in some U.S. cities. However, the red tape may again become a critical issue; Health Canada could take two years to complete a scientific review of this new product.

According to CBC News, the proposal isn’t without controversy. While the specially designed birth control is unlikely to seriously harm other animals who may ingest the pellets, it may cause sterility. Additionally, New York has made similar efforts that have been unsuccessful, largely in part due to the city’s crowded population and garbage issues.

What can apartment building owners and managers do to help control the rat population? Here are a few suggestions: Have a construction plan. If you’re implementing new construction, or doing any underground work, you’re more than likely going to disturb a rat population, and they won’t be happy about it. Have a rodent control plan in place before beginning any work.

Manage your garbage. To rats, your building’s dumpsters are akin to a Michelin-star restaurant.

Remember, rats can fit into tight spaces and can smell food from far away. Find tight-fitting solutions that keep trash secure, and store dumpsters safely until waste can be collected.

Call a professional. Fighting a rat problem without a strategic solution can feel like a never-ending game of whack-a-mole. A professional pest control team can devise a long-term strategy, including strategic bait placement and identification of entry points.
