Nunavut Rent Increase Rules (2026)
Nunavut has NO rent cap. The limits are frequency (once per 12 months) and notice (generally 3 months). Much of the territory's housing is staff or social housing with separate rules.
Governing law: Residential Tenancies Act, R.S.N.W.T. (Nu) 1988, c. R-5

No cap
There is no maximum percentage increase under the Act.
Once per year
Rent can be increased only once in any 12-month period.
Notice
The landlord must give at least 3 months' written notice on the prescribed form.
Staff & social housing
A large share of Nunavut housing is employer or public housing governed by separate agreements, not the open rental market.
No mid-term increases
Rent is fixed during a fixed-term lease.
