I thought it was 4%? Might be 2% though.

I had a one bedroom in English Bay and I started at $850, after about 7 years I was paying $930... Rent control is awesome.

I didn't know about the notice, granted, I didn't really pay attention... I was just happy paying, at the time, about $200 a month below market.
