Notes on Occupancy Standards
Beaver Hall Artists' Housing Co-op is a Rent Geared to Income Co-operative.
The City of Toronto has specific criteria for 2 bedroom units.
How many bedrooms does a household qualify for?
Toronto's occupancy standards for RGI households are:
- adult household members who are spouses must share a bedroom. Two persons who live together are considered "spouses" if
- the social and familial aspects of the relationship amount to cohabitation, and
- one individual provides financial support to the other, or
- the individuals have a mutual agreement or arrangement regarding their financial affairs.
- for adult household members other than spouses, a minimum of one (1) and a maximum of two (2) persons per bedroom
- for children under the age of 18, no less than one (1) and no more than two (2) persons per bedroom where the unit contains three (3) bedrooms or less
- for children under the age of 18, no less than one (1) and no more than three (3) persons per bedroom where the unit contains more than three (3) bedrooms, if the shared bedroom provides the minimum space required under the City's Municipal Code Property Standards.
- a single parent may share a bedroom with a child if the applicant wants to share.
- bachelor units are normally given to single persons. However, a two person family is eligible for a bachelor unit, if the applicant requests it. A two person family consists of either two spouses or a parent and child.
