Toronto’s 2026 short-term rental rules: $390 city registration, 6% accommodation tax, 13% HST, and the federal tax rule that denies your deductions if you’re non-compliant. The full legal and tax checklist for hosts.
No mid-term increase in a standard one-year Ontario lease. The RTA 12-month rule, 90-day N1/N2 notice, the 2.1% guideline for 2026 and 1.9% for 2027, exempt units, the L5 and N10 routes, and the July 2026 seasonal AC charge.
The two halves of this question have opposite answers in Ontario. A no-smoking clause agreed to in the lease at the start of a tenancy is enforceable, and smoking is always banned in indoor common areas. A no-pets clause in a lease is void under section 14 of the Residential Tenancies Act — even if the tenant signed it. This 2026 guide explains screening, condo rules, service animals, the Board’s section 76 test, and what a landlord can actually do when smoking or an animal causes a real problem.
In Ontario you may enter a tenanted unit without notice only in narrow cases — a genuine emergency, the tenant’s consent at the door, agreed cleaning, or a showing after the tenancy is ending. Everything else needs at least 24 hours’ written notice, for a listed reason, between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. This 2026 guide sets out both lists, what a valid notice contains, and what to do about abandonment, showings, photos, and locks.
Evicting a tenant in Ontario in 2026 means the right N form, the right timeline, an LTB order, and Sheriff enforcement — no shortcuts. This guide covers the new 7-day N4, N5, N8, N12 and N13 rules, L1/L2 costs, hearing evidence, and what never to do.
