2. Check if your increase is within the guideline

If you are covered by the rent increase guideline, then the Notice of Rent Increase (Form N1) must show you the increase as a percentage. It also must tell you if the increase is within the guideline for the year.

Your landlord must follow the guideline for the year in which your increase starts. For example, if your landlord gave you a notice in September 2024 that your rent would go up on January 1, 2025, they had to use the 2025 guideline amount which was 2.5%.
