Document background
The Rent Increase Notification is a mandatory legal document used across Canadian provinces to formally communicate rent increases to tenants. It must be issued within specific timeframes (typically 90 days before the increase) and must comply with provincial guidelines regarding maximum allowable increases, which are updated annually. This document is required whenever a landlord wishes to increase rent and must include specific information such as the current rent, the amount of increase, the percentage increase, and the effective date. The notification must follow strict provincial regulations regarding format, content, and delivery method. In cases of above-guideline increases, additional documentation and justification must be included. The document serves both as a legal notice and a record of communication between landlord and tenant.
