Ontario's 2027 Rent Increase Guideline Is 1.9% — What Landlords and Tenants Need to Know Before October

  August 16, 2026 If you own a rental property in Ontario — or rent one — mark October 3 on your calendar. That's the earliest a landlord can legally serve notice for a rent increase that takes effect January 1, 2027, and it's the practical starting gun for a guideline that's quietly gotten tighter for the third year in a row. The province has set the 2027 rent increase guideline at 1.9% , down from 2.1% in 2026 and well off the 2.5% legal ceiling that held for three straight years before that. It's the lowest guideline Ontario has published in years — and while that sounds like a straightforward win for tenants, the real story for both sides is in the timing, the exemptions, and what a below-inflation-feeling number actually does to a landlord's math. What It Means for You Landlords: the earliest you can serve a valid N1 notice for a January 1, 2027 increase is October 3, 2026 — 90 days' notice is mandatory.

Project 2025: Shaping America’s Future

 

As the 2024 U.S. presidential election looms, a lesser-known initiative called Project 2025 has emerged on the political landscape. Let’s delve into what it is and why it matters.

  1. What Is Project 2025?

    • Project 2025, also known as the Presidential Transition Project, is a strategic effort led by the conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation. Its mission? To prepare for a potential Republican victory in the 2024 election.
    • Essentially, Project 2025 serves as a government-in-waiting, ready to step into action if a conservative candidate—such as former President Donald Trump—takes office on January 20, 2025.
  2. Four Pillars of Project 2025:

    • Policy Agenda: Drawing from the expertise of the entire conservative movement, Project 2025 aims to create a comprehensive policy guide for the incoming administration. Specific proposals will address major issues facing the country.
    • Personnel Database: Having the right people in place is crucial. The project casts a wide net to identify conservatives from various backgrounds who can serve in key roles within the next conservative administration.
    • Training: To transform this talent pool into effective administrators, Project 2025 provides workshops, seminars, online videos, and mentorship. Experienced experts share their knowledge to prepare future leaders.
    • 180-Day Playbook: With a sense of urgency, the project develops a playbook for the first 180 days of the new administration. Its goal? To swiftly address the impact of left-leaning policies on Americans.
  3. Why It Matters:

    • Project 2025 isn’t just theoretical; it’s a practical effort to reshape the federal government. Whether or not it becomes reality depends on the election outcome, but its influence could be significant.
    • As voters tune in to the presidential debate, they should keep an eye on how candidates align with or diverge from the principles outlined by Project 2025. It’s a glimpse into the potential future of governance in America.
