Your Ontario tenancy + LMR deposit
Ontario landlords must pay LMR interest annually at the rent-increase guideline rate (s.106(6)). The 2026 guideline is 2.1% (statutory cap 2.5% under s.120(2.1)). Where the LMR is less than the current legal maximum (one month's rent), the landlord may deduct the top-up amount under s.106(7) — but must still account for and pay any excess as interest or credit.
This letter will cite
Ontario Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, S.O. 2006, c.17, s.106 (rent deposits), s.106(6) (annual interest at guideline), s.106(7) (top-up deduction), s.106(8) (credit-against-rent accounting), s.120 (annual rent-increase guideline; statutory cap 2.5% under s.120(2.1)); 2026 guideline 2.1% (Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, ontario.ca/page/residential-rent-increases); LSO By-Law 4 (UPL framing).
Stage-2: LTB Form T1 (Tenant Application — Rebate of Money) at tribunalsontario.ca/ltb, $53 filing fee (2025-2026; fee-waiver available for low income).
Compare to LMR — if LMR < current rent, landlord may have a top-up entitlement under s.106(7) that nets against the interest owed.
If interest has never been paid, write 'never'. Otherwise format YYYY-MM-DD.
