INFORMATION FOR LANDLORDS and TENANTS of MANUFACTURED HOME SITES

GIVING A NOTICE OF RENT INCREASE under the Manufactured Home Park Tenancy Act (MHPTA)

Once every 12 months, a landlord may increase the rent for the existing tenant. The landlord may only increase the rent 12 months

after the date that the existing rent was established with the tenant or 12 months after the date of the last legal rent increase for the

tenant, even if there is a new landlord or a new tenant, by way of an assignment of the tenancy agreement.

• A landlord must give a tenant three whole rental months' notice, in writing, of a rent increase. For example, if the rent is due

on the first day of the month and the tenant receives notice any time in March, even March 1st, there must be three whole

months before the rent increase begins. In this example, the months are April, May and June, so the rent increase would

begin July 1st. The landlord must use this form when issuing a rent increase that includes the proportional increase in local

government levies and/or public utilities and must serve it according to the MHPTA.

• A notice sent by mail (which is one method of service) is deemed to be received on the 5th day after it was mailed. For

example: a rent increase given personally to a tenant on or before March 31st could come into effect July 1st. A rent

increase given by registered mail should be mailed on or before March 26th for the increase to come into effect on July 1st.

• A landlord may not collect a rent increase in any other way than in accordance with Part 4 of the MHPTA.

• A tenant may not apply for dispute resolution concerning a rent increase that complies with Part 4 of the MHPTA.

• Payment of a rent increase in an amount more than the allowed annual increase does not constitute a written agreement to

a rent increase in that amount, unless both the landlord and tenant have signed a mutual agreement to a higher rent

increase.

Rent increase formula under the Manufactured Home Park Tenancy Regulation

• The Manufactured Home Park Tenancy Regulation permits a maximum annual rent increase according to the following

formula:

Existing rent + 2% + inflation + increase in local government levies and/or public utility fees

• A landlord may only impose a rent increase up to the amount calculated in accordance with the Regulation, or as ordered

by an arbitrator.

• If the tenant believes that the rent increase is more than allowed by the Regulation, the tenant may contact the Residential

Tenancy Branch for assistance.
