Is there rent control in Newfoundland and Labrador?
Short Answer
No. Newfoundland and Labrador has no rent control: the Act sets no limit on the amount of an increase, but it limits when and how often rent can rise and requires written notice (section 16).
No. Newfoundland and Labrador does not have rent control. The Act sets no limit on the amount of an increase. What it does control is timing: no increase during the first 12 months of the agreement or during a fixed term, no more than one increase in any 12 months, and written notice on the official form at least 6 months before the increase takes effect (8 weeks for a week-to-week tenancy).
