This bill, the Rent Protection for All Tenants Act, 2017, amends the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006. It removes exemptions that allowed certain rental units to be exempt from rules governing rent increases. Previously, units that were not occupied before specific dates, or had never been rented, were not subject to these rent increase rules. This bill removes these exceptions, meaning these types of units will now be subject to the same rent increase rules as other rental units.
