RentWise Team: No, a change of landlord does not normally end your tenancy or allow the new landlord to reset the rent to the current market rate. The new landlord generally takes over the existing tenancy and must follow the rent-increase rules, including limits on how often rent can be reviewed, the applicable cap and notice requirements. Ask for any proposed increase in writing and check that the notice is valid. If you believe the increase is unlawful, you can seek information from the RTB, with the outcome depending on the facts of your tenancy.
