Rent control
Your rent here is not capped
Your rent at U.C. Tower 3 is not capped. The building's first tenants moved in Nov 2025, after November 15, 2018, so Ontario's annual rent increase guideline does not apply. Your landlord can raise the rent by any amount once every 12 months, with 90 days' written notice.
The rule: Ontario's annual rent increase guideline (2.5% for 2026) does not apply to a unit first lived in after November 15, 2018 (Residential Tenancies Act, s. 6.1). In every building, your landlord must give you 90 days' written notice on the official form and can raise the rent at most once every 12 months. The date that counts is your unit's, so ask the landlord to confirm it before you sign.
