Can landlords increase rent during my lease in Toronto?

I'm a recent grad about to sign my first lease in Toronto and want to understand my rights regarding rent increases. Can my landlord raise the rent at any time during the lease term? What does the Ontario RTA say about this? I’d appreciate any clarity on my tenant rights in this situation!
