Under Part V of the act, a landlord may require a tenant to provide a deposit at the commencement of a tenancy provided that it does not exceed the rent payable for one month or one rental period, whichever is greater. A tenancy agreement may not require a tenant to "provide post-dated cheques or other negotiable instruments for payment of rent" or permit automated deductions of rent from a tenant's bank account, credit card, or any other mode of payment. The rent stipulated in a tenancy agreement may not be varied except where at least 12 months have passed since the day of the last rental increase (if applicable) or the commencement of the tenancy (otherwise) and may, subject to limited exceptions, only be varied by the guideline amount prescribed by the appropriate provincial minister. A landlord and tenant may enter into an agreement to permit a rental increase of 3% above the guideline amount if the landlord "has carried out or undertakes to carry out a specified capital expenditure in exchange for the rent increase" or "has provided or undertakes to provide a new or additional service in exchange for the rent increase"; nevertheless, a tenant may rescind such an agreement within five days of signing it by giving notice to the landlord. A landlord may also increase the rent if they agree to provide a parking space or another prescribed amenity to the tenant. Additionally, a landlord may apply for permission to increase the rent by an amount greater than 3% on the grounds of extraordinary capital expenditure or rises in municipal taxes. A tenant may request a landlord for permission to assign their lease or sublet and, while the landlord may refuse permission, they must not refuse permission arbitrarily.
