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.

Netanyahu Criticizes Canadian PM Carney Over Gaza Remarks

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has publicly criticized Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney for comments made during a rally in Calgary. The controversy arose when a protester in the crowd accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza. Carney responded, "I'm aware. That's why we have an arms embargo," a statement that Netanyahu deemed "irresponsible."

Netanyahu took to social media to express his disapproval, urging Carney to retract his remarks. He emphasized that Israel is engaged in a "just war" against Hamas, a group designated as a terrorist organization by Canada. Carney later clarified that he had not heard the word "genocide" during the protester's statement and was merely referencing Canada's arms embargo on Israel.

The incident has sparked international debate, with some questioning Carney's stance and others defending his clarification. The timing of this controversy is particularly sensitive, as it coincides with heightened tensions in the region and ongoing discussions about Canada's foreign policy.

Carney's office has yet to issue a formal response to Netanyahu's criticism, leaving the matter unresolved for now.
