On May 15, 2025, the 2025 rent index will be set at 2.0 percent.
As required by the Regulation to amend the Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, the residential rent index is adjusted yearly on May 15 to align with the annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) for Whitehorse, which was 2.0 per cent in 2024.
Landlords may not increase rents more than the prescribed rent index. Landlords may also choose to not increase rent.
The rent index came into effect as part of the 2023 Confidence and Supply Agreement between the Yukon Liberal Party and the Yukon New Democratic Party.
