Under provincial law, apartâ€" ment landlords or their agents must pass on the tax reduction to tenants on or before Dec. 31, 1969. (Homeâ€"owners should have already received their reducâ€" tions). The system works this way: The landlord receives the reâ€" duction from his municipality and is required to pass on the full amount of the reduction on or before Dec. 31 to those tenants who have occupied their premises throughout 1969. Tenants who have moved in or out of apartments during the year receive only proportionate amounts. In effect, the province pays part of the property taxes on each eligâ€" ible house and apartment. The extra cash is a benefit to which ~virtually all homeowners and tenants are entitled under the Ontario government‘s twoâ€"yearâ€" old property tax reduction syâ€" stem. The system was establish ed by the province last year as a means of easing the burden of municipal and school taxes. Ontario _ apartment _ dwellers should receive a little extra cash from their landlords this moith â€"perhaps in time for Christmas.

Tenants get gifts from landlords McKeough said that tenants who moved out over 30 days ago and have not received their 1969 entitlement after advising their landiord of their new. address Municipal Affairs Minister Darâ€" cy McKeough, whose department administers the tax reduction syâ€" stem said today that the bulk of the inquiries being received is coming from tenants who moved earlier in the year and have not yet received their payments. ‘‘We suggest that a tenant who has moved during the year and has not received his entitiement should contact his former landâ€" lord immediately to be sure the landlord knows where to send the reduction." A tenant who moved int> an apartment during the year and is still occupying _ the premises should receive oneâ€"twelfth of the total reduction for each month of tenancy. This reduction should be paid by the landiord on or before Dec. 31. A tenant who moved out durâ€" ing the year should receive a simâ€" ilarly proportionate amount withâ€" in 30 days of the date he terminaâ€" ted his tenancy or on Dec. 31, whichever is earler. Generally tenants of separaâ€" tely assessed residential properâ€" ties, such as duplexes and apartâ€" ment buildings, are eligible for the tax reduction, but tenants in flats and basement apartments in houses may not qualify. McKeough said landlords canâ€" not withhold the tax reduction from a tenant to compensate for real or alleged damages or Iosâ€" ses.
