Celebrate 'Ontario Home Week' (From page 5) Under our system of pro- perty law, there is no ab- solute ownership of land by individuals. All land is ultimately owned by the Crown. Our system is bas- ed on a tenurial system, where individuals own an EXTRA POCKET MONEY Tum unwanted items from you garage or basement into cash by selling them In the PORT PERRY STAR "CLASSIFIEDS" 985-7383 interest or estate in the lands, but not the land itself. This means that the Crown through expropriation can confiscate property from private owners at will when deemed to be for the public good. Owners can be forced to sell their land to the Crown or have it taken from them. To maintain the balance between private rights and the public good, private pro- perty owners must insist governments prove that ex- propriation is vital and necessary for the public good. Furthermore, when land is expropriated there must be a means to achieve fair compensation for loss of property. In Canada, the Constitu- tion does not specifically protect the private proper- ty rights. A clause offering such protection was deleted "in the Constitutional debate for political reasons. In addition to municipal laws and zoning restric- tions, there are numerous laws that affect the right to use and enjoy private pro- perty. Some examples of restrictions are: a) Historic preservation laws that prevent the owner from altering the property without special permission from local government. b) Restrictions placed with regard to noise, en- vironmental planning, and aesthetic matters such as colour of paint, type of shrubbery, and height of fence. ¢) The right of possession - this right is curtailed by Landlord and Tenant Acts, Environmental Protection Acts, Fire and Health In- spection 'Acts, rent review legislation and federal and provincial expropriation acts. Most jurisdictions pro- vide for some method of fix- ing compensation, but, there is not guarantee of this. d) In various provincial Registry Acts such as Land Titles Act, Family Law Reform Acts, Estates Act, restrictions are placed on the landowner's right to sell, give away, or dispose of land. There is a lot a homeowner can do to pro- tect property rights and to ensure unnecessary restric- tions do not prevent the en- joyment of property ownership. Find out what rights you do have and what rights are threatened. Know what all levels of government are planning. Ask questions and demand answers. Above all, insist that if a restric- tion is being placed upon your property rights, that it be proved necessary and in the interest of the public good. The Ontario Real Estate Association continues to work on behalf of all current and prospective homeowners for private property rights. OREA is committed to the entrench- ment of private property in the Constitution. For more details about private property rights and "Ontario Home Week" con- tact your local real estate board. Your local board will let you know how you can get involved. = Jim Corrigan Broker/Owner Res. 852-7518 TRANS-ACTION REALTY SERVICES INC. 852-6193 Uxbridge 985-4172 Scugog 640-8585 Toronto THE KEY TO YOUR FUTURE STARTERS OR INVESTMENTS: $475,000. -- 96 acres - working land - splendid view - 2 barns N.W. of Port Perry - Ideal for horses.
