No, never. Increases are fixed 2% every 24 months.
My former super annoying tenant from Canada...the one who was a chronic liar, has been calling me the last 3 days...many times. I was ready to block his number. I'm like why are you calling me?

The new landlord wants to raise their rent $50 next year and he was complaining to me about it, saying that's not legal in Canada.

I assured him $50 was a deal in this economy, the landlord can raise it to ANY amount, and if he doesn't like it, move.

I'm getting estimates now from a few companies to replace 3 windows, the mid 80's aluminum framed ones transmit too much cold. My livingroom window will probably cost $1200 for just the window.
Here's a great trick for a large living room picture window. Instead of buying a picture window, you can have 3 double hung windows attached. I have had contractors attach them, or have them built this way at the factory, which I think is better. It's a lot cheaper, and you get a lot more airflow this way, because all 3 windows open, not just the side ones like most picture windows...and I think it looks fine. I've done this many times.

Look, I have my Christmas lights up early!! lol, I never took em down!

The Mrs was wanting to do that, I'm contemplating it. I like that the sliders open all the way to the top to let out heat though.

With double hung windows, the top does slide down so you can open the tops, and slide the screens up, which does work better for heat....But I usually just open the bottom window, as the air flow is more at a sitting position. But you have the option of opening them either way.
