The sign on your building,
explained.

Since June 15, 2026, every rental apartment building covered by RentSafeTO (three storeys or more, ten units or more — about 3,600 buildings) must post a City-issued colour-coded sign near its main entrance showing how it scored on its latest City evaluation.

What each colour means

Green (85–100): the building meets most or all City maintenance standards, with few or no violations found at its last evaluation.

Yellow (70–84): the building meets some standards and may have violations. Worth checking which areas scored poorly — a yellow driven by elevator maintenance matters more to your daily life than one driven by fencing.

Red (0–69): the building meets few City maintenance standards and may have several violations. A red sign does not mean the building is unsafe, uninhabitable or closed — it means it performed poorly on City evaluation and faces increased enforcement.

Look any building up here to see the score behind its sign, category-by-category results, and its score history: search your building →. Official program details: City of Toronto — RentSafeTO colour-coded signs.

Why your condo has no sign

Condo towers are exempt from RentSafeTO — no inspections, no score, no sign — even when units are rented out. For roughly half of Toronto's rental market, the City's transparency program simply doesn't apply. That's the gap this site exists to fill →
