What the calculator assumes.
Ontario. Guideline of 2.1% for 2026 and 1.9% for 2027. The landlord must give at least 90 days’ written notice on the proper form, and rent can rise once 12 months have passed since the last increase or the start of the tenancy. Source: Government of Ontario.
British Columbia. Limit of 2.3% for 2026 and 2.2% for 2027, with three full months’ notice on Form RTB-7 and one increase every 12 months. The calculator assumes rent is due on the 1st; notice sent by mail or email is deemed received a few days later. Source: Government of British Columbia.
Manitoba. Guideline of 3.0% for 2027, with at least three months’ written notice and one increase a year in most cases. Source: Manitoba Residential Tenancies Branch.
Above the guideline. Landlords can apply to the provincial tribunal for an increase above the guideline, and some units are exempt. This is an estimate, not legal advice.
