1. Minimum Flatting Requirements

1. Minimum Flatting Requirements

Are students aware that there are city council by-laws laying down minimum standards for "family units" (flats), and boarding houses These include such minimum standards as "hot running water piped to the sink and bath"; and "living room a minimum of 150 square feet. with healing facilities to be provided."

If these facilities are not provided. students can demand them from landlords without a rent increase.

If landlords are obstinate or unwilling students should contact the city council (building department) who will arrange for an inspection of the flat and take necessary action.

If students are interested in perusing the city by-laws at greater length cyclostyled summaries are available at the Students' Association Office.
