Rent increase — guideline, notice, AGIMost Ontario rent increases are capped at the annual provincial guideline and need 90 days' written notice on Form N1. Above-guideline increases require LTB approval.N4 — Notice for non-payment of rentAn N4 is an early-warning notice, not an eviction order. You get a cure period to pay the arrears in full and void the notice entirely.N12 — Landlord/purchaser own useAn N12 ends your tenancy for the landlord, a buyer, or a close family member to move in. It needs 60 days' notice AND one month's rent compensation. Bad-faith N12s are illegal.N13 — Demolition, conversion, or major repairs (renoviction)An N13 ends a tenancy for demolition, conversion, or repairs so extensive they need a building permit and a vacant unit. You have a right of first refusal to return at the old rent.Repairs / maintenance refusedYour landlord must keep the unit in a good state of repair and fit for habitation — even for problems that existed before you moved in. You have several escalation paths.Deposits — what's legal in OntarioOntario landlords may only collect a last-month's-rent (LMR) deposit, a refundable key deposit at cost, and a rent deposit of one rental period. Security/damage/pet deposits are illegal.Sublet vs assignmentYou can sublet or assign in Ontario with the landlord's consent, which cannot be unreasonably withheld. The landlord can only charge reasonable out-of-pocket costs.Illegal lockout / utility shut-offSelf-help eviction is illegal in Ontario. A landlord cannot change your locks, remove your belongings, or shut off utilities without an LTB order — even if you owe rent.
