Find the rental rules for your province

The rules that decide what you can charge and how much notice you owe are set province by province, not nationally. Wealthru publishes the current figures for each province at /guides, free and with no account needed.

What you will find there

Each province has up to three guides:

  • Rent increase guideline. The most you can raise the rent by in a year, how much notice you have to give first, and how long you have to wait between increases. This page includes a calculator. Type in what you charge today and it works out the highest lawful rent.
  • Notice periods. How much notice a tenant has to give to move out, and how much a landlord has to give to end a tenancy.
  • Security deposit rules. The deadline to return a deposit once a tenancy ends.

Why some provinces are missing

A province appears only after somebody on our team has checked its figures against the official government source. If your province is not listed yet, that means it has not been checked recently, not that the rules do not exist. We would rather show you nothing than show you a number we cannot stand behind.

For the same reason, every page shows the date a person last checked it and a link to the official source. Follow that link before you serve a notice.

A province with no yearly cap

Not every province sets a single annual percentage. Alberta and Quebec handle increases case by case instead. On those pages the calculator does not show a number, because there is no cap to apply.

This is tooling, not legal advice

Wealthru helps you find and apply the rules. It does not replace advice about your situation. Rent rules change, sometimes partway through a year, so the official source linked on each page is always the last word.

Inside the app

When you schedule a rent increase in Wealthru, the same reviewed figures drive the check on Manage โ†’ Rent, so an increase above the guideline is refused before a notice goes out. You do not have to look the number up yourself to stay onside.
