If its built after 1991
There are no landlord Tenant limits for increasing rents.
It is whatever the market will bare.
“I was shocked, and all my friends who live in condos were shocked, to find out that we are powerless.” The now-renamed Residential Tenancies Act sets out tenant protections for all rental units across Ontario, but rent control provisions only apply to buildings occupied before Nov. 1, 1991.
That’s turned out to be great news for condo investors, allowing them to pass on escalating maintenance fees and other costs almost directly to their tenants. But for a growing number of condo tenants, it’s making for an uncertain future.

When you purchase a NEW condo you have 10 days to "escape the contract" Period of Rescission.
They are only holding your $ 2,000 deposit
If you continue your staged deposits over the next 30 - 60 - 90 OR 30 - 90 - 180 days is;
5% of the Purchase Price (less the $2,000 deposit)
5% at agreed date by post dated cheque
Next 5% at agreed date by post dated cheque.
You effectively have a 15% down payment into your condo purchase at they will build it.
When you have been notified of your OCCUPANCY DATE you will now commence to pay estimated maintenance, ( Toronto average is $ 0.58 per square foot ) Estimated Property Taxes and Phantom Rent.
Your Phantom RENT is calculated as Purchase Price less your down payment then at the rate of interest contained in your contract. (payable monthly)
If you wish to pay cash; you must advise your builder at the PURCHASE POINT in Time or it does not count.
Lets try a sample calculation
Purchase Price $ 400,000
Downpayment 15% 60,000
________
Net Outstanding $ 340,000
Taken at a simple interest rate of 3% would be rent of (340k X 3 %) divided by 365 Times 30 days would be $ 838.35 per month.
Your Tenant may move in at the Occupancy Date
It may take the condo 6 months to a year to collect all the paper work for Registration.
At Registration and Hand Over ( meeting ) you have already closed and are given control (elect your) Board of Directors.
Do you have a specific question you would like answered?
