In BC, a sitting tenant's rent can only rise by the amount the province allows
that year. Enter the year you moved in and what you paid then, and this applies every actual
allowable increase since, one year at a time. No forecast, no scenario. Just the record.

Read this as a ceiling, not as your rent.The figure above is the most your rent could legally have risen to, assuming
your landlord took the full allowable increase in every single year. Many landlords do not,
and a year skipped cannot be claimed back later. If yours skipped years, your real rent is
lower than this and your real gap is wider.

The ladder got gentler after 2018
Over the 8 increases applied to your rent, the allowable rise averaged 2.2% a year.
Allowable increases from 2003 to 2018 averaged 3.5% a year.
From 2019 to 2026 they averaged 2.2% a year. Move the first slider back before 2019 and the
ladder gets visibly steeper, because you are climbing more of the high years.
