DID YOU KNOW?

The most misunderstood rule in Ontario renting, in one line:

A rent deposit is not a damage deposit.

Ontario's own guide to the standard lease puts it plainly - "The law limits the amount and how it is to be treated. A rent deposit cannot be used as a damage deposit."

What that means on the ground:

For tenants - the deposit you paid at the start is your last month's rent. It is not a fund your landlord draws on for a scuff on a wall. If someone tells you they are "keeping the deposit for damages," that is not how it works here.

For owners - this is the rule that catches out new landlords more than any other, especially anyone who has rented out property in another province or another country. Using a rent deposit for anything other than the last month's rent, and charging a damage deposit on top of it, both appear on the province's own list of offences under the Act.

Damage is a real problem and there is a proper process for it. Quietly keeping the deposit is not that process.

And for everyone: this is exactly why condition photos at move-in matter. A documented starting condition is worth more than any deposit could ever be.

General information only, not legal advice. The amount of a rent deposit and how it must be treated are set by the Residential Tenancies Act - the details matter, so check them against your own situation.

Ontario Rental Rules Have Changed ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ“™

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/residential-tenancies-act-updates-9.7349885

As of September 21, 2026, new rules under Ontarioโ€™s Residential Tenancies Act are officially in effect, bringing important changes for both landlords and tenants.

Key updates include:

๐Ÿ”‘ N4 Notices: The notice period for non-payment of rent has been reduced from 14 days to 7 days.

๐Ÿ“… Persistent Late Rent: Paying rent more than 7 days late at least 3 times within a 6-month period now meets the defined threshold for persistent late payment.

๐Ÿก N12 Notices: Under certain conditions, landlords providing at least 120 daysโ€™ notice for their own use may no longer be required to provide compensation or another acceptable unit.

โฑ๏ธ 60-Day Occupancy Rule: Following an applicable landlord-own-use eviction, the intended occupant is generally required to move into the unit within 60 days.

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ N13 Renovations: New requirements affect communication around renovation timelines and a tenantโ€™s right to return.

โš–๏ธ LTB Hearings: Certain procedures around rent-arrears hearings have also changed.

Why is this important?

These updates affect how landlords handle unpaid rent, late payments, renovations, evictions and Landlord and Tenant Board proceedings. Staying informed helps property owners follow the correct process, reduce risk and manage rental properties more effectively.

At ADARE, we stay on top of Ontarioโ€™s changing rental regulations so the properties we manage are handled properly and efficiently.

Investors that want to increase their portfolio by adding more units to their property need to be aware of the city regulations. ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ…ฟ๏ธ๐Ÿš™

This single family home is being transformed into a legal triplex, in order to achieve this transformation, we needed to respect the city parking regulations. In order to satisfy these requirements, we needed to add a parking pad at the back of the house for 2 additional parking spots, and widen the front driveway to allow an extra parking space.

By being aware of these city requirements, proper guidance was provided to the investor to maximize the return on the investment of this property.

At ADARE, we do not only manage your portfolio, we help maximize it. ๐Ÿ“ˆ๐Ÿ’ฐ

What would you do? ๐Ÿค”

Three years. Never once late. Quiet, looks after the place, and you have honestly forgotten the unit exists.

This month? Nothing.

Day 20 and the rent still has not landed. You have texted twice. No answer.

What do you do?

A. Serve notice today - rules are rules
B. Call once more, then serve if there is no answer
C. Wait it out - three years buys a month
D. Serve notice and keep talking - the two are not opposites

There is no trick here.

Experienced landlords genuinely split on this one, and the difference usually comes down to whether they have been burned before.

The argument for moving early:
Silence is information. Three years of history tells you what someone was - not what may have changed. Serving notice protects a timeline you cannot get back later.

The argument for waiting:
You could be risking a good long-term tenancy over one missed month that may have a completely reasonable explanation behind it.

And then there is D.

Serving notice and staying in communication are not contradictory.

One protects the file.
The other protects the tenancy.

Many situations can still be resolved after notice has been served without the tenancy ultimately ending.

Did you know your furnace filter should be replaced approximately every three months? ๐Ÿ”ฅโ„๏ธ

A dirty or clogged filter restricts airflow, forcing your heating and cooling system to work harder. During the summer, poor airflow can even cause the A/C coil to freeze, reducing performance and potentially leading to costly repairs. ๐Ÿ’ฐ

Regular filter replacements can help:

โœ”๏ธ Improve airflow
โœ”๏ธ Support better indoor air quality
โœ”๏ธ Reduce strain on the HVAC system
โœ”๏ธ Keep heating and cooling running efficiently

Itโ€™s a small maintenance task that can make a big difference in protecting your investment and keeping tenants comfortable. ๐Ÿค

๐Ÿ  Market Update: Canadaโ€™s Housing Market Is Moving Toward Recovery

RBC reports that home sales have improved since spring, inventory is stabilizing, and price declines are slowing. While the market is expected to remain soft through 2026, a gradual recovery is forecast for 2027 - including an 8.2% increase in Ontario home resales. ๐Ÿ“Š

For landlords, high homeownership costs could keep more households renting longer. However, slower population growth may soften rental demand in some areas, making competitive pricing, property maintenance, and tenant retention increasingly important.

For tenants, softer market conditions may provide more choice in certain communities, although affordability remains challenging and conditions will vary by region.

The takeaway: Whether you own or rent, understanding your local market helps you prepare for what comes next.

Property Management Bookkeeper / Accounting Specialist / Finance Officer

Location: Kingston, Ontario
Job Type: Full-time
Pay: $23.00โ€“$30.00 per hour, based on experience and demonstrated ability
Probationary Period: 3 to 6 months
Schedule: Monday to Friday, 8:30 to 4

About the Role

We are looking for an experienced, detail-oriented Property Management Bookkeeper / Accounting Specialist / Finance Officer to join our growing team in Kingston.

A significant component of this position will involve working with multiple related companies, therefore experience with intercompany accounting and due-to/from accounts is considered a major asset.

Why Join Us?

This position offers the opportunity to become an important part of a growing property-management and investment operation that operates in different cities in Ontario.

What would you do? ๐Ÿค”

Your tenant messages you in August:

"Can I install a portable air conditioner in the living room window? I'll buy it and install it myself."

A. Yes - no conditions
B. Yes - but in writing, with conditions
C. No
D. I need more information

Here is why this one deserves a second look before you answer.

As of July 1, 2026, Ontario's rules on this changed. Tenants may now install window or portable air conditioners where certain conditions are met, and where the landlord pays for electricity, a seasonal charge may apply.

The conditions are specific, and they are worth reading properly rather than going with what was true last summer.

๐Ÿ‘‡ Comment your answer below and why. We are curious how many landlords already knew the rules had moved.

Ontario's rent increase guideline for 2027 is 1.9%. ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ“ˆ

That is the most the rent can go up on most rent-controlled units in Ontario next year - down from 2.1% in 2026. ๐Ÿ“‰

What it actually means:

- It applies to increases taking effect between January 1 and December 31, 2027
- Written notice must be given at least 90 days before the increase takes effect, using the Board's approved form (N1)
- Rent can go up only once every 12 months for the same tenant
- Units first occupied for residential purposes after November 15, 2018 are generally exempt from the guideline - that date catches out more landlords than any other rule in Ontario

One practical note: if you are planning a January 1 increase, your 90-day notice needs to be served in September. ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ
