Why Most AGI Applications Fail
A Dedicated AGI Legal Team
Above Guideline Rent Increase (AGI) applications are one of the most misunderstood — and underutilized — legal tools available to Ontario landlords.
Most property owners invest significant capital into their buildings — replacing roofs, upgrading plumbing, modernizing systems — yet continue to operate under standard rent increase limits that do not reflect those investments.
We exist to change that.

A Dedicated AGI Legal Team
We are a legal team focused specifically on structuring, preparing, and advancing AGI applications under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 before the Landlord and Tenant Board.
Our work goes beyond completing forms.
We analyze:
- Whether your capital expenditures qualify
- How those expenditures should be categorized and presented
- What evidence meets the Board’s expectations
- How to position your application to withstand tenant opposition
AGI applications are not administrative — they are evidentiary and strategic.

Why Most AGI Applications Fail
Landlords are often told:
“Submit your invoices and apply.”
In practice, that approach leads to:
- Misclassified expenses
- Incomplete documentation
- Procedural defects
- Applications dismissed at the hearing stage
The **Landlord and Tenant Board does not correct errors — it rejects them.

The Value of Doing It Right
A properly structured AGI can:
- Increase long-term rental income
- Improve asset valuation
- Offset capital expenditure costs
- Strengthen portfolio performance
A poorly prepared AGI can result in:
- Dismissal
- Delays
- Lost revenue that cannot be recovered retroactively
