NOVA SCOTIA Residential Tenancies – 5% Manufactured Home Tenancies – 5% In Quebec, there is no exact equivalent to the guideline as it is used in BC, Ontario, Manitoba, PEI, and now Nova Scotia. The Quebec government does not set a rent increase that a landlord can charge without any specific approval. Instead, if tenants challenge the rent increase notice that the landlord gives them, the Tribunal administratif du Logement (the Quebec Rental Board) applies a set of standard cost increases to the specifics of each rental building. The calculation is based on actual increases in municipal taxes and insurance, and inflationary percentage increases applied to other costs such as heating and services. Alberta, Saskatchewan, Newfoundland and Labrador, do not limit rent increases.
