NWT rent increase notice date planner
Compare the 12-month rent-history rule with a 3-month written notice.
Check your dates
This gives you a starting date. Your actual deadline may be different.
Inputs you need
Record the date the last rent increase took effect (or rent was first charged if the premises had never been rented) and the date proper written notice was served.
Earliest benchmark
The later of twelve months after the last increase and three months after notice is the planning floor. Service rules can affect how dates are counted.
If notice is late
Raise the issue promptly with the Rental Office and preserve proof of the actual service date.
When this calculator should not be used
Section 47(6) of the NWT Residential Tenancies Act excludes subsidized public housing from the ordinary section 47 rules. Do not use this date estimate for a subsidized-public-housing tenancy without confirming its governing notice and rent-change requirements with the Rental Office.
