Rental Property Expenses Canadians Forget to Claim (2026 Guide)

  Published: April 2026 | Reading time: 9 min | Category: Real Estate, Tax Savings, Personal Finance Owning a rental property in Canada comes with a surprisingly generous set of tax deductions — but most landlords only claim the obvious ones. Mortgage interest, property taxes, insurance. Done. What they miss is often worth thousands of dollars in additional deductions every single year. If you own a rental property in Ontario (or anywhere in Canada), this guide walks through every legitimate expense category the CRA allows — including the ones your accountant may not have mentioned. Why This Matters More Than You Think Rental income in Canada is taxed as regular income — meaning at your full marginal rate. At Ontario's combined federal and provincial rates, landlords earning $100,000–$150,000 total income are paying 43% on every dollar of net rental profit.

Stock Market Today: Wall Street Slips as Bond Market Pressure Mounts

 


The stock market today saw most of Wall Street slip as the bond market cranked up the pressure. The S&P 500 ended little changed on Monday, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 74 points and the Nasdaq composite rose 0 1. The majority of stocks fell, with 80% of S&P 500 stocks dropping, but gains for Apple and some other influential Big Tech stocks helped limit the market’s losses . Slumps for oil-and-gas stocks weighed on the market after crude prices gave back some of their sharp gains since the summer.

The main reason for the decline is Wall Street’s growing acceptance that high interest rates are here to stay a while as the Federal Reserve tries to knock high inflation lower. That in turn has pushed Treasury yields to their highest levels in more than a decade, which makes investors less willing to pay high prices for stocks and other investments. The yield on the 10-year Treasury climbed again Monday, up to 4.69% from 4.58% late Friday, and is near its highest level since 2007. High yields send investors toward bonds that are paying much more than in the past, which pulls dollars away from stocks and undercuts their prices. Stocks that pay high dividends with relatively steady businesses see particular pain because their investors are more likely to switch between stocks and bonds. That puts a harsh spotlight on utility companies. PG&E dropped 5.7%, and Dominion Energy sank 5.3% for some of the sharpest losses in the S&P 500.
