 11. (1) If a circumstance set out in subsection (2) exists, the service manager may, at its sole discretion and on the basis of that circumstance, review the geared-to-income rent payable by the household, (a) once between the initial calculation of geared-to-income rent under section 2 and the first annual review under section 10; and (b) once between annual reviews under section 10. O. Reg. 316/19, s. 11 (1). (2) The circumstances referred to in subsection (1) are the following: 1. A request for a review has been made by the household based on an expectation that if the net income of each member of the household, other than members whose income is not included in the calculation of geared-to-income rent and members of a benefit unit to which section 3 applies, were calculated as set out in subsection 6 (5), the total amount of the net income of those members would not exceed 80 per cent of the total amount of the net income of those members determined at the last review under section 10 or this section or, if no review has taken place, at the initial calculation of geared-to-income rent under section 2. 2. There has been a permanent change in the composition of the household since the last annual review under section 10 or, if no annual review under section 10 has taken place, since the initial calculation of geared-to-income rent under section 2. 3. A member of the household has begun full-time attendance at a recognized educational institution since the last annual review under section 10, or, if no annual review under section 10 has taken place, since the initial calculation of geared-to-income rent under section 2. 4. A member of the household whose income was not included in the calculation of geared-to-income rent because the member was in full-time attendance at a recognized educational institution has ceased full-time attendance at such an institution since the last annual review under section 10 or, if no annual review under section 10 has taken place, since the initial calculation of geared-to-income rent under section 2. 5. A member of the household has begun to receive or has stopped receiving basic financial assistance under the Ontario Works Act, 1997 or income support under the Ontario Disability Support Program Act, 1997 since the last annual review under section 10 or, if no annual review under section 10 has taken place, since the initial calculation of geared-to-income rent under section 2. 6. The taxes of a member of the household whose income tax information was used in calculating the geared-to-income rent have been reassessed or additionally assessed under section 152 of the Income Tax Act (Canada) since the last annual review under section 10 or, if no annual review under section 10 has taken place, since the initial calculation of geared-to-income rent under section 2. 7. The service manager projects, based on a calculation that is at the service manager’s discretion, that the average of the monthly non-benefit income of a benefit unit in the household for the next 12 months will exceed the applicable monthly non-benefit income limit set out in Column 3 of Tables 1 to 3. O. Reg. 316/19, s. 11 (2). (3) The service manager may, at its sole discretion, conduct one or more additional reviews after a review referred to in subsection (1) and before an annual review under section 10 if, (a) a circumstance set out in subsection (2), other than the circumstance set out in paragraph 1 of subsection (2), exists; and (b) there are, in the opinion of the service manager, extenuating circumstances. O. Reg. 316/19, s. 11 (3). (4) Upon determining that a review under subsection (3) will be conducted, the service manager shall conduct the review without delay. O. Reg. 316/19, s. 11 (4). (5) If, on a review under this section, a service manager determines that the geared-to-income rent payable by a household should be increased or decreased, the increase or decrease, as the case may be, takes effect, (a) on the first day of the month following the month in which the review is completed; or (b) if the review was initiated as a result of an event referred to in paragraphs 2 to 6 of subsection (2) having occurred, on the first day of the month following the date on which the event occurred. O. Reg. 316/19, s. 11 (5). (6) Despite subsection (5) and section 2, if, on a review under this section, a service manager determines that the geared-to-income rent payable by a household should be increased by an amount less than $10, the service manager may decide, (a) to implement the increase; or (b) not to implement the increase. O. Reg. 316/19, s. 11 (6). (7) If one or more members of a household request a review by a review body of a determination made by a service manager under this section, the amount of geared-to-income rent payable determined on the review by a review body takes effect on the date that would apply under subsection (5). O. Reg. 316/19, s. 11 (7). (8) Despite subsections (5), (6) and (7), if a service manager or review body determines under this section that the rent should be increased, and if this section otherwise provides for the increase to take effect during the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021, the increase takes effect on January 1, 2022. O. Reg. 691/20, s. 3.
