Ontario’s Minister of Government and Consumer Services announced the province’s intent to introduce legislation this fall to regulate the home inspection industry.
If passed, the proposed changes would:
• Require home inspectors to be licensed with proper qualifications
• Set minimum standards for contracts, home inspection reports, disclosures, and the performance of home inspections
• Establish an independent Administrative Authority to administer and enforce the home inspection licensing legislation and associated regulations
TREB and OREA have been working with the Government of Ontario on modernizing the home inspection industry.
TREB has provided written feedback to the province on this issue.
