When can a landlord increase the rent and what is the maximum allowable amount?
Use this calculator to determine when a landlord can increase a tenant's rent and the maximum allowable amount under the law. This tool may only be used for rent that is paid monthly. To get information about past maximum allowable rent increase rates, visit here. There are additional rent increase allowances for manufactured home park tenancies.
Subsidized housing, where rent is directly related to the tenant's income, is not subject to rent increase laws. In these cases, the Residential Tenancy Branch does not have the authority to make decisions on rent increases. Tenants who have questions about rent increases for subsidized housing should discuss it with the housing provider.
