Ottawa residents can expect letters from Service Line Warranties of Canada (SLWC) to reach their mailboxes in the coming weeks. The letters will provide homeowners with detailed information related to the optional and voluntary Service Line Warranties program, including coverage options and the enrollment process for interested residents.

Being a homeowner entails several additional duties related to property care. The owner cannot neglect to make necessary repairs and let their property deteriorate. All properties are subject to the City of Ottawa Property Standards bylaw and Property Maintenance bylaw. These bylaws are in place for legitimate reasons, such as maintaining health and safety standards and avoiding vermin infestations. According to the City, property owners are required to make necessary repairs, keep the property in good shape, and keep it up to bylaw requirements while also removing any hazards.
