<font face="Verdana">In the Ontario Building Code <font
face="Verdana">"S</font>ection 9.8.6.2 - Required
Landings" has everything to say about where<font
face="Verdana"><font face="Verdana"> and</font> when<font
face="Verdana"> a landing is required. <br>
<font face="Verdana">It is quite possible that a landi<font
face="Verdana">ng is not required, if your sit<font
face="Verdana">uations all fit the details of </font>9.8.6.2
(3) (b).<font face="Verdana">, which cover all
secondary doors in a home. You may still have to
designate <font face="Verdana">which of the t<font
face="Verdana">hree doors is your</font></font>
primary entrance, and provide a landing there. <br>
There <font face="Verdana">are</font> more
possibilities and details, so it is best to look
at that section in the OBC, to see which fits your
situation.<br>
