Ontario has its own Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB). Its forms and deadlines are not the BC Residential Tenancy Branch procedures.
The standard Ontario guideline is 2.1% in 2026 and 1.9% in 2027, for tenancies where the guideline applies. Many first-occupied-after-November-15-2018 units are exempt from the guideline. Notice requirements and the 12-month rule still need separate assessment.

A landlord uses N1 for a guideline-based rent increase where the regular guideline applies. The notice must use the proper effective date and required advance notice. A rent increase notice is not an eviction notice.
View guide →Use N2 where the rental unit is exempt from one or more guideline rules. Exemption does not remove every rule about notice and timing. Check first occupancy and the particular statutory exemption before choosing N2 instead of N1.
View guide →L5 seeks an LTB-approved above-guideline rent increase. The official materials require schedules, cost evidence and, where appropriate, the Rental Unit Information spreadsheet. The fee is based partly on unit count.
View guide →T1 is a tenant rebate application for qualifying illegal charges or amounts held by a landlord. The remedy and filing period depend on the claim and the Residential Tenancies Act.
