Ontario's rent increase guideline for 2027 is 1.9%. 🏠💰📈
That is the most the rent can go up on most rent-controlled units in Ontario next year - down from 2.1% in 2026. 📉
What it actually means:
- It applies to increases taking effect between January 1 and December 31, 2027
- Written notice must be given at least 90 days before the increase takes effect, using the Board's approved form (N1)
- Rent can go up only once every 12 months for the same tenant
- Units first occupied for residential purposes after November 15, 2018 are generally exempt from the guideline - that date catches out more landlords than any other rule in Ontario
One practical note: if you are planning a January 1 increase, your 90-day notice needs to be served in September. 🗓️
