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.
