Is there rent control on new units?

Hi, Please confirm for me if my landlord can increase my rent to whatever he likes. I am paying $3500 now and my one year lease ends on Nov 30 2022. He sent me an email to say that my rent will increase to $3900 as of Dec 1 2022.
I read that there is no rental limit on places built after 2018. I'm not sure when this townhouse was built, but possibly in 2018.

Isn't there a rule to say that he can only increase my rent by 1.2% if he is increasing it as of Dec 1 2022? Or if he gives me 3 months notice he can choose to increase it by 2.5% as of Jan 1 2023, but once he does the increase he cannot increase it for 1 year. Is this correct?
