The same government is involved in increasing property tax and utilities and expecting rent to remain the same

I totally agree with this lady . Over 60% of my monthly paycheck is going to rent alone . So far I've had to sacrifice my gym membership, my diet and my means of transportation. And things aren't getting any better they are getting worse.

We HAD a rent cap years ago..they lifted it and it's been skyrocketing ever since. Not worth living in Toro to anymore

They do nothing for us.

How do they expect to stop rent increases when this gov hikes rates, property taxes, and utility costs?

It’s a real problem.

I live in Vancouver and it’s so hard to find a room, a room here (not the best) costs over a K. And if you just want to rent a one bedroom apartment, it’s so expensive that I can’t afford.

Unfortunately they'll never do anything about it. They do appreciate the 30% of your income you've been paying all your life. Don't worry tho because once you're retired and get evicted, they won't have a bed for you in an old age home either. They are however working hard 20 hour weeks to ensure your life will only get worse while they convince you more taxes are the way out. What's not to love about this country honestly.

Interest rates gone up 400% that puts presure on everything ... blame greedy government coffer that's flooded with cash thanks to rising rates

Who is gonna pay for subsidized housing? Do people know how much it cost to repair and maintain properties? Also name one country that applies this concept and it actually works?

Funny they mostly talk about Ontario more than anywhere else but all of canada needs this...🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️🙄

Ya cap it and watch construction stop immediately. Then you change high rent to a lottery system where you may or may not get a home. But don't let me tell poor people how to not be poor.

With all the money and people coming in, there is no way to control price under such circumstances. They need to increase supply and reduce demand simultaneously.

Gov: Don’t blame us. We’re just over here jacking up the costs of everything so the market struggles to respond whilst simultaneously introducing loads of new demand. Totally irrelevant stuff. Those evil landlords are the real culprit….

Isn’t that socialism though?

No pity if they voted liberal!!!!

Well, talk to Bank of Canada and stop the inflation first

I'm starting to wonder if I should have been brave enough to run for mayor of Toronto. I would have fought for rent caps and housing regulations that kept investors out of the market so that families can purchase homes and stop leaving all the houses and units empty.

A friend’s son moved to Woodbridge and found a small converted room with shared amenities in a house for rent for $1000 a month. He told that were 9 other tenants living in the small house paying between $900 to $1200 a month per space/room.Seems to be a lot of rent per month.

Oh old lady.... you are so right. YOU have voted these people in. Enjoy it now.

Property taxes everywhere are going to start quadrupling. Just watch. We are all going to be in tents if we can afford one.

No jokes, its a 10year wait list for low income housing.... TEN YEARS

We need rental caps all over Canada.

Canadians vote for higher taxes, get it, whine. Canadians vote for more migration, get it, whine.

Humanity should stop putting a price tag on housing and food.

There are no easy fixes for an unprecedented asset bubble. This will only end with a hard landing.

They won’t they’re all incompetent

It's not just rental market .. the government have inefficient and highly protected staff that end up not working as efficiently as future hires COULD be. If the property valuation won't come down .. so property tax won't go down .. landlords can't make money without lowering rent possibly ... Say they don't drop rent, at the very LEAST LET US MAKE MORE MONEY. With high taxes and a salary cap because of the way our system is set up .. we have insane amount of immigrants moving here with money but none are investing because IT'S NOT WORTH IT. So they just make money elsewhere and spend here cause they like the living conditions/safety more. Also .. if we can't pay our people or have an economy that can .. they will leave. A lot of our top talents have left, even doctors and nurses move south of the border to make 2-3x more in a dollar worth 30% more. Drop the inefficiency, drop the taxes and stop giving money into projects/people that have absolutely no returns. At least create projects that can make the inefficient people worth the investment.

Home owner collusion to create shortage.

Thank god truduea raised taxes i had no idea what id do with all my extra money from inflation!

Maybe someone should explain inflation to them and that the liberal government printing bucket loads of money caused their rent inflation.

Rent is still half the cost to buy with current interest rates.

Landlords have no choice but to increase rent when property taxes, utilities, and general maintenance keeps going up.

In the end tenants have to pay for the high interst rate.. owners are still happy and making good money.. I am hating trudeau govt

Yeah, i dont think renters understand economics 101. You buy a property with the intent to rent it at a fair price according to what you paid for it, interest rate, property tax, home insurance, renters insurance, and have a bit left over for unforseen expenses like broken appliances and general maintenance. Now what do you think happens to the operating cost when the rates go up 4 percent? That's right, your rent money doesnt cover the cost of the place your renting... Greed you say? Yes but its not the owners fault. It's the government and city officials you voted for that has driven up the cost of everything.

All these people who bought houses at 1% mortgages whining about how "its hard... And expensive" do us all a favour and sell your investment homes and stop whining about how hard you have it

we vote so we rule it

The Government is not your friend and will not help you. Learn this, and be better off.

I love how this was a story about a national problem and once again all the renters are coming from Ontario. Sorry, Onterrible. Fixed it.

Good luck ;)

End times any one?

Rents increase as demand increases as well as taxes , repairs , insurance . So it’s not fair to ask landlord to keep prices low. Let the government build housing.

Tenants are acting like communists or socialist! Landlords are getting paid so some people are paying it. That’s why landlords are asking and getting it!

Sorry , but those who voted the current government in , reap it.

Crime rate will skyrocket

All they do in this ridiculous country is talk talk talk. Nothing ever gets done. Meanwhile the Ford government still sits pretty.

Vancouver British Columbia is the worst province in Canada for Renting. Used to be good. You can blame yourself for voting for Liberals. Sure you will get in the country but good luck renting a home and affording food. Rent can't go back down now. The inflation needs to dissappear and the dollar to go up along with wages.

CAP RENT IN CANADA. ITS PURE GREED.

There is now and going forward a very serious crises coming concerning housing and our premiers are not in touch at all with Renters unable to afford Hugh % increases by greedy Landlords.

Destroy the place when you move out and forget about damage deposit.

Only fix is to start voting Conservative.

Landlords are struggling with their mortgage as well. If you can’t afford them move out and move away

They need to plug holes in the rent laws!!

Cities voted for a progressive and liberal government causing interest rates and cost of living go up, who else is there to blame when they keep voting the same way.

Trudeau’s Legacy

Welcome to Trudeaus Canada

A lot landlord kick out renter,the landlord make a lot way to kick out or a lot excused to the renter.and than rise the price like sky rock to new renter,a lot landlords are doing like that.a lot people are going to die because of landlord,because landlord have the property and monopolies the price like sky rock,and a lot people going to die because of landlords,

Abolish the ownership of land and put all land to public use

It’s literally just Toronto Vancouver Now this has to be federal??? How bout this we seize all rental properties from private landlords

After losing so much to stock market, One best investment decision I ever made afterwards was investing in financial markets. Which has earned me $34,970 profit every 14days lately. Trust me guys it pays a lot.

Canada's provinces already have some of the strongest tenant protection laws in the world. These strong legislations unfavourable to the landlords have directly contributed to a reduction in new rental properties, and this is what's leading to the high cost of rent. If renters want to bring their rents under control, they should lobby to make conditions more favourable for landlords to put more housing supply into the market so renters can have more housing choices and lower prices.

y'all who complain about rent in Toronto being so high, y'all so lopsided - don't even understand how much it costs to even be a landlord with these rising costs
