If your landlord increased your rent by more than 2.2% then he or she is ripping you off and you need to read this:
Rent Increases and Non-payment of Rent : RTB : Government of British Columbia
How much can rent be increased for a residential tenancy?
Residential tenancy landlords may increase rent annually by a percentage equal to the inflation rate plus two percent without tenants disputing the increase. The total allowable rent increase for each calendar year is available on the Residential Tenancy Branch website in September of the previous year, under the heading “
News”.
If the landlord charges an amount in excess of the inflation rate plus two percent, the tenant does not have to pay the excess rent unless the tenant has been served with a Residential Tenancy Branch order allowing the rent increase.
