What does this rent cover?

Enter the total rent for the home before splitting it with roommates.

Monthly rent in Canadian dollars

Monthly rent in Canadian dollars, before any deductions.

Year you moved in, if knownI do not know

Leave the year out if you do not remember. The estimate still works; it just will not include rent increase context.

Was your home first used for residential purposes before Nov. 15, 2018?

YesNoI do not know

This decides which rent increase rules we show you. It turns on when the home was first lived in, not on when you moved in, and other exceptions apply.

This applies to Ontario tenancies only. If your home is in Quebec, your answer here is ignored.
