The main comments to the province from the City of Ottawa are:
1. Staff support the intent of the change of definition towards renter income households
2. Staff would like to raise that the new definition does not speak to unit size and may disincentivize units with additional bedrooms.
3. Staff would like to raise concerns about duration of affordability to ensure that any discounts given translate into affordable units in perpetuity.

In addition, staff have questions concerning reporting and monitoring which we hope the Province will address through future regulations (please see the table in the attachment).
