Rights & LegalOwning a BC rental while living in Ontario: the BC duties that need someone on site, how to serve notices from a distance, and when paid help must be licensed.
Rights & LegalVancouver limits short-term rentals to the unit the host lives in, and the Province's registry sits on top. What long-term landlords need to know when a tenant asks to host.
Rights & LegalAlberta announced on October 8, 2026 that Edmonton must return high-density infill rules to pre-2024 settings and restore pre-2020 parking minimums. The City says its current bylaw stays in effect until January 2027.
Rights & LegalYour rights as an Alberta renter, in the order a tenancy runs: the lease, the deposit cap, the inspection report, entry, rent increases, repairs, notices and getting your deposit back.
Rights & LegalBreaking a BC lease does not automatically cost the rest of the term. Here is what a landlord can claim, the landlord's duty to re-rent, and the lawful ways to leave early.
Rights & LegalA BC landlord may enter a rental unit only in six situations, most often with 24 hours' written notice. Here is what the notice must say, how to time it, and what each side can do when rules are broken.
Rights & LegalOntario's 2027 guideline is 1.9%; BC's limit is 2.2%. Rent increases, deposits, entry and unpaid-rent notices compared side by side for owners with rentals in both provinces.
Rights & LegalIf your BC landlord will not fix a problem, you do not have to withhold rent or do it yourself. Here is the path from a written request to an RTB order for repairs, a rent reduction and compensation.
Rights & LegalBC tenants must give written notice that reaches the landlord a full rental month before they leave. Here is how to count it, what to include, and what to do before move-out.
Rights & LegalHelping a parent or friend with their BC rental needs no licence if it is truly free. Paid or in-kind help usually does, unless an exemption fits.

Rights & LegalYour B.C. rent can rise by at most 2.2% in 2027. Here is what that means in dollars, when it can start, and how to check your notice.
Rights & LegalHow B.C. tenants can check whether a rent increase is lawful, what to do if it is not, and how to recover an overpayment.
Rights & LegalSince July 24, 2026, the Landlord and Tenant Board's final orders have been publishing to Ontario's Open Data Catalogue — free, no login, monthly updates, with history filling back to December 2021 in phases. It's the biggest transparency shift the rental market has seen in years, and the most misused tool of the fall:
Rights & LegalOn September 21, 2026, "persistent late payment" stops being a judgment call and becomes a statutory test: under O. Reg. 516/06, rent counts as late only if it's unpaid more than seven days after the due date, and a tenant is persistently late after at least three late payments within any six-month period — a floor, no
Rights & LegalFrom September 1, 2026, serving an N13 in Mississauga starts a second clock the province doesn't run: within seven days, the landlord must apply to the City for a Rental Repairs and Renovations Licence — and no work starts, and no tenant leaves, until both the building permit and the licence are in hand. Here's the mun
Rights & LegalRent control in Ontario doesn't limit what rent you can advertise — and that surprise cuts both ways. Vacancy decontrol means a new tenancy's rent is set freely, so the number in your ad is yours to choose; but the moment a tenant signs at that number, the control regime takes over, and the advertised rent becomes the
Rights & LegalRental ad discrimination rarely looks like discrimination — it looks like friendliness: "perfect for young professionals," "ideal for a quiet couple," "great family neighbourhood." Under Ontario's Human Rights Code, the ad is where compliance starts, and warmly-phrased tenant preferences are the same violation as blunt
Rights & LegalThe short answer: Ontario has no provincial licence for renting out residential property. The complete answer is why the question stays confusing — licensing is municipal, and three different licence types now share the word: ordinary rental licensing in some cities, renoviction licensing in Hamilton, Toronto, and Otta
Rights & LegalOntario pet law does something almost nobody expects, and both sides routinely get it backwards: at the application stage, a landlord may generally choose not to rent to someone because they have a pet — but once the tenancy exists, a "no pets" lease clause is void, and a tenant who gets a pet after moving in usually c
Rights & LegalYes — and almost everything attached to that yes is where landlords get into trouble and tenants overpay. First month's rent is just rent; last month's is Ontario's only legal deposit, capped at one rental period, earning interest every year at that year's guideline rate. Damage, security, cleaning, and pet deposits ar
Rights & LegalAdvertising a rental in Ontario is a five-step craft with a legal layer at every step: confirm the unit can lawfully be listed, price it to the market that exists, write and shoot a listing that works, choose platforms deliberately (only one major site is agent-gated), and run enquiries without drowning. This pillar co
Rights & LegalOttawa city council passed its Rental Renovation Licence bylaw 21–5 on July 15, 2026, and it takes effect January 1, 2027: a municipal licence within 7 days of issuing an N13, a building permit secured before the notice goes out, and a city-produced tenant rights guide served alongside it. Here's what the bylaw actuall
