Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Ottawa's Chapter 46, Section 46-35 establishes that any individual or entity that violates the human relations provisions of this article faces punishment as determined by the general penalty section of the municipal code, specifically Section 1-11. The rule functions as an enforcement backstop, linking substantive anti-discrimination or human relations obligations to a defined consequence. The nature and severity of the punishment are governed by whatever penalties Section 1-11 prescribes.

For Property Managers

Under Ottawa Ch. 46 § 46-35, property owners and managers who fail to comply with the human relations article's requirements may be subject to municipal punishment as outlined in Section 1-11. Compliant operators generally maintain non-discriminatory practices in tenant selection, lease terms, and housing conditions to avoid triggering this penalty provision. Reviewing both the substantive obligations of Ch. 46 and the penalty structure in Section 1-11 is a common practice among operators seeking to stay in compliance.

For Tenants

Ottawa Ch. 46 § 46-35 provides that violations of the human relations article carry consequences under Section 1-11, which means tenants who believe their rights under this article have been violated may have recourse through the municipality's enforcement process. General enforcement paths can include filing a complaint with the relevant local human relations or civil rights body, or raising a violation as a defense in a housing proceeding. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Ottawa's municipal code can help explain what options may be available under this provision.
