Yes. Any residential rent increase in Ontario can be deemed invalid if it is not served on the proper form, with the proper notice. (Form N1, 90 days notice)
Rent that has been increased according to the guidelines, with proper notice served.
Yes. Landlords must pay interest to the tenant every year. The interest paid is the same as the province’s cap on rental increases for that year. For 2016, the cap — and thus the interest payable — is 2.0%. Be sure to pay the interest by cheque and get the tenant to sign a receipt.
If a tenant files a Tenant Application About Maintenance (Form T6) with the Board, the tenant may also ask to pay some or all of their rent into the Board until their application has been decided. The tenant will have to justify why they should pay into the Board and not pay the landlord directly. It will be up to the Board to determine whether or not to grant the tenant’s request. If the tenant has not filed a T6 application, the tenant cannot ask to pay their rent money into the Board.
No, you cannot charge a damage deposit. You can collect the last month’s rent and hold it as a deposit, but it must be deducted from the rent due for the tenant’s last month. If the tenant damages the premises, you have to ask them to pay for the damages or serve them a notice. If they do not pay, you have to make an application to the Landlord & Tenant Board.
It’s very frustrating when tenants don’t pay their rent, damage property, or otherwise interfere with your ability to earn income from your property. You can evict tenants, but there is a process to follow. The province of Ontario has prepared a document that explains the process. This is also something I can help you with. For legal advice, you should speak to your lawyer.
There is no set notice period for informing tenants about an owner’s plans to sell, but it’s best to let your tenants know just before you start preparations for sale, and certainly before you list the property.
Importantly, you, as the landlord, should not send your tenants the letter of notice, answer questions about potential buyers, or make any promises to extend leases or fixing rents. Instead, have your real estate agent do this work. I provide landlord-sellers with a letter for them to send to their tenants, then follow-up by introducing myself to the tenants and answering their questions. My clients refer all tenant inquiries to me.
