Rent increases
Most rental housing in Ontario is covered by the RTA. But your housing might not be covered by the RTA if:
- you share a kitchen or bathroom with the owner of the property or the owner’s close family members,
- it’s meant for temporary or seasonal stays, such as a hotel, cottage, or Airbnb, or
- you rent both business and living space under the same rental agreement.
Also, the RTA does not cover some types of shared living. If you share rental housing or you rent from another tenant, we have an online tool that can help you find out if you are covered.
If your housing is not covered by the RTA, this information does not apply to you. If you are not sure, get legal help.
