# Toronto: New Framework for Multi-Tenant (Rooming) Houses

The City defines a multi-tenant house, commonly known as a rooming house, as a building where four or more rooms are rented out to separate people. Tenants may share the kitchen and/or washroom but they do not live together as a single housekeeping unit. As of March 31, 2024, new rules are in place to ensure consistent standards and regulatory oversight to protect the safety of tenants and respond to neighbourhood concerns.
