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.

Trump Asserts No Cost Limit on Mass Deportation Plan

 

In a recent interview, President-elect Donald Trump reiterated his commitment to a large-scale deportation plan, emphasizing that there would be "no price tag" on the effort to remove millions of undocumented immigrants from the United States. Trump stated that his administration would prioritize making the U.S. border "strong and powerful," and that the cost of the deportations was secondary to the necessity of the action.

Trump's plan, which he described as the "largest deportation effort in American history," aims to target undocumented immigrants involved in criminal activities, including drug lords and murderers. He argued that the deportations are essential for national security and public safety, despite the significant logistical and financial challenges involved.

Critics have raised concerns about the humanitarian and economic impacts of such a sweeping deportation policy. They argue that the removal of millions of immigrants could disrupt industries reliant on undocumented labor and lead to significant economic instability. Additionally, immigrant rights groups are preparing to challenge the plan through legal battles.

As Trump prepares to take office, the debate over his immigration policies continues to intensify, with both supporters and opponents gearing up for what promises to be a contentious issue in the coming months
