By examining development projects between 2007 and 2018, the preference for large retail units at ground level with high-rise residential condominium towers above is evident. Heritage buildings and attributes are being demolished, where allowed, to create the base that supports this type of development. New development projects are increasing property values and taxes, and commercial rents. The lack of appropriately sized and priced retail space is displacing successful small businesses. The residents who are new to the neighbourhood are increasingly young persons who have higher incomes and levels of educational attainment. Small businesses may be unable to adapt to their consumer preferences. Key opportunities are identified for the City of Toronto to support successful small businesses in the neighbourhood and to maintain the character and heritage of Downtown Yonge Street. Key words: planning; commercial gentrification; displacement; small businesses; Toronto iii Acknowledgments I wrote this paper with the guidance and support of my professor and supervisor, Dr. Ronald Keeble. My second reader, Steven Ziegler, provided invaluable insight and encouragement. Thank you to my sister, Kristen Flood, for your uninterrupted advice about the world of urban planning and to my mother, Susan Webber, for your continuous encouragement. iv Table of Contents 1.

Moynihan: Chapter 11: Property and Conveyancing PART II Private Law CHAPTER 11 Property and Conveyancing CORNELIUS J. MOYNIHAN A. REAL PROPERTY §ll.l. Landlord and tenant. The exercise of an option to renew a lease appears to be a relatively simple matter to the ordinary business­ man but, as lawyers well know, a carelessly drafted notice of renewal can be the prelude to costly litigation. The case of Ames v. B. C. Ames CO.l affords a good example. On April 1, 1946 the defendant leased certain business premises to the plaintiff for a term of ten years with the option to renew for a further term of ten years provided that written notice was given to the lessor at least six months prior to the expiration of the term, the renewal rental to be agreed upon by the parties or determined by arbitration but in no event to be less than $4800 a year. The lease contained the standard clause prohibiting assignment or subletting by the lessee without the written consent of the lessor, but concurrently with the execution of the lease the lessor agreed in writing to assent to an assignment to a corporation "owned and operated by" the lessee.

In accordance with the Michigan Constitution as amended by Michigan statutes, a transfer of ownership causes the taxable value of the transferred property to be uncapped in the calendar year following the year of the transfer of ownership. What is meant by “taxable value”? Taxable value is the value used to calculate the property taxes for a property. In general, the taxable value multiplied by the appropriate millage rate yields the property taxes for a property. What is meant by “taxable value uncapping”? Except for additions and losses to a property, annual increases in the property’s taxable value are limited to 1.05 or the inflation rate, whichever is less.

  • Law and Economics of Leases
    Preliminary draft; do not cite without permission THE ECONOMICS AND LAW OF LEASING Thomas W. Merrill* This paper is about a widespread and highly successful economic institution that has been largely ignored in both economic and legal literature: leasing. A lease is a transfer of an asset for a limited time in return for periodic payments called rent. Leases are used to acquire a very wide variety of assets. Resources that are commonly leased include agricultural land, mineral and timber rights, commercial office buildings, shopping centers, industrial and commercial equipment such as ships, aircraft, machinery and computers, residences including both freestanding houses and apartments, autos and other motor vehicles, and furniture, among other things. Other than ownership, leases are probably the most common legal form of holding assets throughout the world. Although comprehensive data about leasing are not available, a brief glance at such data as exist confirms the very high frequency with which leasing is used, both in the U.S. and in other developed economies. A large percentage of households lease the dwelling in which they live, and the percentage leasing rather than owning has increased since the recession of 2007- 08. In the first quarter of 2017, the United States Census Bureau reported that 32 percent of housing units were occupied by persons who lease, as opposed to own or live in units with others. In Europe, the percentages are generally similar, although in Germany and Switzerland roughly half the population live in leased dwellings. Leases of personal property are also surprisingly pervasive. By one estimate, leases account for more than twenty-five percent of all new capital equipment in the U.S., and approximately 80 percent of all U.S.

Guidance for lessors remains substantially unchanged from IAS 17. Lessors are still required to classify leases as either finance or operating, and the indicators used to make that distinction are again unchanged from IAS 17. For a finance lease, the lessor recognises a receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease; this is the present value of the aggregate of lease payments receivable by the lessor and any unguaranteed residual value. For an operating lease, the lessor continues to recognise the underlying asset on its balance sheet. Changes for lessors? Although the broad mechanics of lessor accounting remain unchanged, a number of topics do affect both lessees and lessors.
