????????????????? Rent Disputes

In Ontario, landlords can’t raise your rent above the annual guideline without special approval from the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) — and they must give you at least 90 days’ written notice.

If your landlord is trying to raise your rent above the legal limit, you have the right to challenge it — and you may be entitled to a refund for overpayments.


At Cordaie Paralegal Services, we help tenants across Ontario fight back against illegal rent increases and protect their housing.

Ontario Rent Dispute FAQ

  • 1. What is the legal rent increase limit for 2025 in Ontario?

    The Ontario government sets this annually — for 2025 it’s [insert % when announced]. Any increase above this without LTB approval may be illegal.

  • 2. Can my landlord raise my rent more than once a year?

    No — in most cases, rent can only be increased once every 12 months.

  • 3. What if my landlord gave me less than 90 days’ notice?

    The notice is invalid. We can challenge it and stop the increase.

  • 5. Are new buildings exempt from rent control?

    Some buildings first occupied after November 15, 2018 may be exempt from the guideline — we can check if yours is covered.
