Market ket Rent nt Te Tenant nant Retur turn TCHC + City Reviewing Solutions 2022/23 Possible Return to Replacement Unit in Market Rent Tenants Regent Park (household paying market rent for 12+ months) TCHC tenants who have been paying market rent for more than 12 months have the right to return to a market rent replacement unit. However, TCHC has not constructed market rent units in Regent Park, and has therefore not been able to offer a new unit to these tenants. We are working with the City of Toronto to explore a solution to offer replacement units to these tenants in our last Phase 3 building, Block 16N (beside the Aquatic Centre, at the Corner of Sumach and Oak St).
