The laws governing Ontario real estate primarily include the Real Estate and Business Brokers Act, 2002 (REBBA 2002) and its associated regulations. These laws regulate the activities of real estate brokers and salespersons, ensuring ethical conduct, fair dealings, and protection of consumer interests. They outline requirements for licensing, professional conduct, handling of trust funds, and advertising. The laws also establish the Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO) as the regulatory body responsible for enforcement and compliance. For comprehensive details, you would need to refer to the full text of REBBA 2002 and its regulations.
