History
The Rent Review Services Branch was established in 1987 to meet the increasing complexity of the rent control system in Ontario and to meet the needs of the competing interests between landlords and tenants.
With the reorganization of the Community Housing Wing in 1991 as the Housing Policy and Housing Operations Divisions, the Rent Review Services Branch was reorganized as Rent Review Programs, which shortly thereafter became known as Rent Control Programs.
