Ontario Rent Discount Calculator

Estimate whether a rent discount fits one of Ontario's rent-discount rules, or whether it may lower the lawful monthly rent used for future rent calculations.

This calculator is based on Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 section 111 and Ontario Regulation 516/06 sections 10 to 12. It is an estimate, not legal advice or a Landlord and Tenant Board decision.

Rent

Use the rent that could lawfully be charged before applying the temporary discount.

Month 1 is usually the first month of the tenancy, the first month after a lawful rent increase, or the anniversary of the most recent lawful rent increase.

Discount

Written means the lease or another written record, such as an agreement, email, or letter. Ontario's fixed, percentage, and rent-free discount rules depend on the written terms.
