Why You Need to Act Quickly on AGI Applications


Did you invest in major repairs, energy upgrades, or security improvements? You may qualify for an Above-Guideline Increase (AGI).


We help Ontario landlords unlock these increases legally—handling documentation, filing L5 applications, and navigating the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) process.


But here’s the catch — Ontario’s Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) has strict evidence requirements for AGI cases. If your application is incomplete or submitted late, it will be denied, forcing you to wait until the next annual increase cycle.


Every month you delay can mean lost revenue you can’t recover.




What Qualifies for an AGI in Ontario?

Under Ontario’s Residential Tenancies Act, you can apply for an Above Guideline Rent Increase if:

  • Extraordinary operating costs (e.g., unexpected property tax or utility increases)
  • Significant capital expenditures (e.g., roof replacement, plumbing overhauls, major renovations that extend the property’s lifespan)
  • Increased security costs for tenant safety


Key requirements include:

  • Proper documentation of costs and invoices
  • Proof that work was necessary and benefits tenants
  • Application filed within strict timelines
