FAQ
-
Toronto Home Zone (THZ) is a grassroots community initiative powered by the Toronto Housing Society (TOHS).
Led by Deneille Macas and co-owned by Macas and Cody Heimpel, the project is dedicated to community-driven housing options. In 2026, the team expanded to include Antoni, who serves as a THZ Community Moderator and a contributor to Deneille’s data projects within TOHS.

We are for encouraging affordability and dignified housing. In summary, we allow rentals that are:
for 28 days or more in a private room or entire unit
only located in Toronto (ie. City of Toronto, Etobicoke, North York, York, Scarborough, East York)
within our rental caps
We encourage all members to join our friends, Ontario Tenant Rights on Facebook, when seeking rental law advice.

All posts to Toronto Home Zone go through a review process of:
Checking user profile and history in the group for fishy behaviour;
Ensuring post adheres to the posting format, transparency rules, Ontario rental laws (RTA) and the Ontario human rights code;
Checking photos to ensure safe, dignified conditions, including a randomly selected photo to search with Google Lens.
Because of this, reviews may take about 48 hours - more when we are right on volunteer capacity. We provide feedback on declined posts when possible, but as of October 2025 Facebook has made this incredibly difficult, so make sure to review the format link above thoroughly before posting.
