Can a landlord ask for a deposit for keys?

Yes, but only if:

-the deposit is refundable and,
-the amount of the deposit is not more than the expected cost of replacing the key(s) if they are not returned to the landlord.

The landlord must give the deposit back when the tenant turns in their key(s) at the end of their tenancy.

Can the landlord charge the tenant a damage deposit?

No. A landlord cannot collect a damage deposit that they would use if there is damage done to the unit. Also, a landlord cannot use the last month’s rent deposit to cover damages in the unit.

If the landlord finds that a tenant has damaged the unit or caused damage to the building, the landlord can give the tenant a notice and/or ask them to pay for the damages. If they do not, the landlord can apply to have the Board determine if there are damages and what should be done about them. For more information about the remedies available to a landlord if a tenant causes damage, see the Board’s brochure on Maintenance & Repairs.

Becoming a paramedic involves a 4 step process.

STEP 1: Successfully graduate from a certified Ontario college Paramedic Program with a Paramedic diploma.

STEP 2: Upon completion of your Paramedic diploma, graduates must successfully pass the provincial certification exam (Advanced Emergency Medical Care Attendant).

STEP 3: Now being a provincially licensed AEMCA you may apply to work in an EMS service. Peel Regional Paramedic Service requires that all potential Paramedic recruits partake in the Centralized Paramedic Competency Recruitment Testing.

STEP 4: Upon employment, new Paramedic recruits must successfully complete a certification exam by our local base hospital physician at Sunnybrook Osler Centre for Pre-Hospital Care. This is to allow Paramedics to perform delegate medical acts under the doctor’s authority.

Having a baby without OHIP coverage can be a very expensive and stressful experience. If you do not have OHIP or other insurance coverage, hospitals can charge you what they want, including amounts above OHIP prices.

The hospital may ask for your financial information or how much money you have and set their fees based on that information. It is impossible to say definitively how much pregnancy services without OHIP will cost, as hospitals assess each case differently.

If you have private health insurance, your insurance company may pay for some of the costs. However, some insurance policies do not cover pregnancy-related costs.
