Not covered

  • Units first occupied for residential purposes after November 15, 2018 are exempt from the guideline.
  • Community housing, long-term care homes and commercial units follow different rules.
  • An increase above the guideline needs the Board's approval or the tenant's written agreement.
  • Quebec, and the other provinces and territories.

Get reminded before the deadline

Rentdocket keeps each unit’s rent and the date it took effect, and the dashboard says “notice due in 12 days” when the window opens.
