Changelog

Check a rent increase against Ontario's rules — the 2.1% guideline for 2026, the 90-day written notice, and once every 12 months. It also handles the catch most people miss: homes first lived in after 15 November 2018 are exempt from the cap, so the checker asks which applies to you before it judges the amount. Nothing you type is saved, and free tenant help is one tap away.

A new tool shows which station elevators and escalators are out of service right now, read live from the TTC's own alerts. Elevators come first, because an elevator out of service can mean there is no step-free way between two levels of a station — the tool says so plainly and never claims a station is accessible when it might not be. Each outage shows the expected return date and reason where the TTC gives one, with the elevator/escalator status line, Wheel-Trans, and the page to report an outage or sign up for alerts. It updates through the day and, if the feed can't be reached, points to the TTC's service advisories rather than guessing.

The town page now leads with a live snapshot of which subway and LRT lines are running, straight from the TTC's official feed, so you can see whether any line has a service alert before opening the full tool. The World Cup getting-around guide, Common Questions, and the major-projects tracker round out the page for the tournament.

The most-asked question for this town was which TTC subway lines are open. The new board answers it line by line — Lines 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 with live service alerts from the TTC's official GTFS-Realtime feed (Open Government Licence – Toronto), and Line 3's permanent closure with its busway replacement date. Alerts refresh about every ten minutes, and the page says when it last checked.

Toronto's page opens with a live TTC line status board (which subway and LRT lines are open, from the TTC's official alerts feed), a major-projects tracker that pairs official opening dates with what independent reporting says, a getting-around guide for the six World Cup matches running June 12 to July 2, and answers to common questions about fares, One Fare transfers, bike lanes, renting and 311.

Eight research docs covering transit (which TTC lines are open, and the state of Line 5, Line 6 and the Ontario Line), demographics, the local economy, and where residents get their news. This research will guide the first tools we build here.
