Principal Residence Change in Use Election
If you convert your principal residence into a rental property there is deemed change in use and any future increase in value will be taxable. The deemed disposition of the principal residence would also have to be reported. However an election can be filed under subsection 45(2) of the Canadian Income Tax Act for the change in use rules not to apply.
