This calculator is for planning only. It does not file a legal document, determine valid service or establish the final legal date.
Understanding the ordinary allowance
- Select the year the increase is meant to take effect; PEI sets percentages for each calendar year.
- For example, lawful rent of $1,500 would have a 2026 ordinary allowance of $30, subject to correct notice and 12-month spacing.
- A Form 9 request to increase above the allowance requires an order. The separate additional increase limit must not be treated as automatic.
- PEI rent control generally follows the unit, including changes in tenants.

Worked 2027 example
With lawful monthly rent of $1,750, a standard 2.1% increase effective in 2027 is $36.75, making the illustrated new rent $1,786.75. This assumes no earlier increase within the relevant 12-month period and valid notice. The 2026 ordinary rate is 2.0%; choosing a year changes the rate used by the calculator.
Notice and above-allowable requests
- For the annual allowable increase, the landlord generally gives at least three months' written notice on approved Form 8.
- A landlord seeking more must use Form 9 and obtain approval; the additional-increase limit is not an automatic entitlement.
- The province describes rent control as attached to the unit, not resetting freely when tenants change.
- A tenant may be able to treat a rent-increase notice as a notice of termination by giving the required written response in time.
Verify the current approved forms and whether an existing increase or order affects the particular unit. A numerical result by itself is not a finding that the proposed increase is lawful.
