When you move



Your landlord can come into your home to show it to someone who might live there when you move out. In this case, your landlord does not have to tell you in writing before coming in. But they must try to let you know first.

It is important to note that the rent control guideline does not apply to new rental buildings. A new rental building is a building that was occupied as a residential unit for the first time starting November 1991; like a new apartment or condo building or a converted factory that is now an apartment building.

Exceptions

The guideline does not apply to some newer rental housing, for example:

-a unit that was never occupied for any purpose before June 17, 1998, or
-a building that had no one living in it before November 1, 1991.

In these units, there is no limit to how much a landlord can increase the rent. But the 12-month and 90-day rules still apply.

Generally, the coverage you need is for "visitors to Canada." You need to confirm with the insurance company that they have insurance plans for people who do not have OHIP.

Not all health related expenses are covered by private insurance. For example, pregnancy-related costs may not be covered. So, make sure that the plan you choose suits your needs. For some companies, you might have to buy insurance within a certain number of days after arriving in Ontario.
