Your landlord can only increase the rent once per year. For example, if your landlord increases the rent in January 2021, they cannot increase the rent again until January 2022.
If your landlord decides to increase your rent within the allowable amount and you pay your rent monthly, they must give you at least three months’ notice using the proper form: Form 10 – Notice of Increase in Rent of Residential Premises.
If you pay your rent weekly, they must give you at least three weeks’ notice using the same form.
If your landlord gives you notice that they will be increasing the rent, you can ask to have the increase reviewed by the Director of Residential Rental Property.
You must file a Form 13 – Application by Lessee for Review of Proposed Rent Increase within 10 calendar days of receiving the notice from your landlord. A hearing will be scheduled by the Director once you file the form.
