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.

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.

Market Jitters: U.S. Futures Slide Amid Tariff Worries, Tesla Takes a Hit

              

U.S. stock index futures experienced a decline on Monday as concerns over ongoing tariff disputes continued to weigh on investor sentiment. At 7:16 a.m. ET, Dow E-minis dropped 389 points (0.91%), S&P 500 E-minis fell 61 points (1.06%), and Nasdaq 100 E-minis slid 242 points (1.21%). The uncertainty surrounding trade policies, particularly between the U.S., China, and Canada, has fueled fears of a potential economic slowdown.

Mega-cap growth stocks bore the brunt of the sell-off, with Nvidia, Meta, and Amazon.com all seeing premarket declines of over 1.3%. Tesla shares fell 2.4% after UBS lowered its forecast for the automaker's first-quarter deliveries and reduced its price target for the stock.

The broader market also reflected investor caution. Futures tied to the small-cap Russell 2000 index dropped 0.9%, while Treasury bonds saw increased demand as a safe-haven asset. Banking stocks, including JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, and Bank of America, also faced declines, with the broader banks index down over 8% for March.

Adding to the unease, China's retaliatory tariffs on select U.S. imports took effect on Monday, with additional U.S. tariffs on base metals expected later in the week. Investors are closely monitoring these developments, along with upcoming data on inflation, job openings, and consumer confidence, which could provide further insights into the health of the economy.

Tesla's decline highlights the challenges faced by the electric vehicle maker amid bearish forecasts and broader market volatility. The company's stock has been under pressure due to concerns over demand and pricing strategies.
