i own 2 apartments downtown Toronto and i have never ever raised rents on my tenant. The reason is because, if i doubled the rent, i'll make an extra $3K a month. $3K a month is not a life changing amount for me, but it will destroy my tenants' lives. I wouldn't want someone to destroy my life, so why would i do it to someone else??

Ts Better change the rental laws first. Ontario has some of the worst rental laws for landlords. I completely understand why a landlord would keep their property empty in Ontario. BC and Ontario are different. What works in one place one work in the other. I see a lot of throwing anything at the wall and seeing if it sticks and that just isn’t a sound solution IMO

You dont have the same problem in the states why? Because government caused the entire problem. Rent fixing doesnt work it only causes less affordable housing to be built. The government cant build affordable housing the economics dont add up. Zoning boards make building housing even harder. The politicians really sold you out because they didnt care about housing they just wanted the increased tax revenue from property taxes. It always always goes back to housing in government. Your gonna see this all across the country it started in Vancouver it's now in Toronto soon it's going to happen in Calgary. Its disgusting that in Canada the second largest country on earth that real estate is as expensive as it is if you look literally a couple miles south in the states the land is infinitely cheaper the taxes are lower the cost of living is lower and it's all because of Canadian government protectionism.

Canada (mostly Toronto-Vancouver) and Australia have some of the biggest bubbles in the housing market getting ready to pop within the next year. Experts predict 30-50% price correction. The global economic crisis is rising and world central banks, like the US FED, Germanys Deutch bank, India, China, and other central banks are in liquidity trouble right now. Plus a huge stock market crash, so switch to cash and hard assets like physical silver/gold. 2020 will be an interesting year for the world to say the least.

I'm from San Diego, CA, and had to move 1000 miles away to the middle of nowhere to find affordable housing. After 4 years of residence in this small town, our rent was TRIPPLED with a 30-day notice! Greed is rampant. The governments of Canada and the United States need to do something! Not all of us can be millionaires from China.

Canada is not bad compared to larger cities. I heard HK cost a few million CND to purchase a 800sqft flat. The average house in T.O. currently is around $800k for around 1300sqft in East York area. So we are not taking it that hard unlike our overseas friends, I guess thats one reason why they flock to USA and Canada and seem to have put upward pressure in our housing market, its because its cheap here relative to where they were coming from. The situation will become increasingly difficult as our population increases worldwide. Now with stress test commencing in 2017, it will be even harder to qualify for a loan to purchase a home. For some new home owners who can bairly afford it, end up needing to rent out a portion of their house and forced to set crazy rents to offset the mortgage payments to make ends meet. As an individual, try to concentrate on building passive income instead taking on an extra job. Search for passive income. Its not an overnight solution, it will take several years to get back onto financial track. However never quit on building it no matter what happens, it will be worth it. There's always 2 sides to a story, everyone is trying to make a living. Unfortunatetly the way our monetary system works may be to blaim, but its quicker and easier to change one's financial outlook and situation than to change how the system works. Anyway that's my personal perspective on this topic you can take it or leave it.

If there happens to be affordable rooms on the market the renters are extremely discrimitive towards potential tenants who are not their prefered race.

Only in these aforementioned regions is this behaviour shamed as 'gold-digging' and women are expected to love blindly at the detriment of they and their potential offspring.

Dave Tom, sadly most have to. She makes more than the average income and is still having trouble making it. So, imagine trying to make it on SS wages (some draw only about $800. a month, others might draw as much as $1200. a month.). Yet, even on the higher end of SS they could never live where she was living before she became homeless. Rent should never gave to be more than 1/3 rd of a persons income. Not to mention that groceries and toiletries have gotten way too high, as well. However, every time the cost-of-living is raised then, everyone raises all these things and more, as well in order to cover their employee's raises and still make their desired profit. Therefore, everyone still ends up in worse shape after the cost-of-living raises come out. It's a really screwed up mess! There needs to be limits on such things, especially insurance and all, too.

Toronto is unlivable. It's been for years. Consider the minimum wage: $11.25. Extrapolate full time hours = $1800 a month. Very difficult to find a bachelor less than $1000 (even this is below average). Then you have your grocery bill, internet, phone, transportation, gas, hydro... It is an untenable situation. It is not realistic to say, "move out to the suburbs" because it takes longer to get to the multiple jobs you're juggling to stay afloat - and it isn't much cheaper in Etobicoke or North York anyway. It is deeply exploitative and ethically wrong it is to demand people service a society can not afford to participate in. Talk about classism! Besides, from what I've seen the rentals out in Etobicoke are just bigger for the same prices. Nevermind trying to save some money to improve your lot in life. Something needs to change, because this place is a breeding ground fro social discontent.

OLD PEOPLE who already live in paid-off homes, but they got FIRED / TERMINATED from their regular jobs once they got over the age of 60 (that happens a lot in Canada = companies let go of employees at 60). But those old people still need an income to pay heat and food as the old age pension is not enough to live on, so they work in Tim Hortons and McDonalds and other fast food restaurants. Most of those older peope are accountants, office managers, engineers, and other people with Masters degrees, but they cannot hold a job due to their age.

What I find personally really disheartening is that this is causing a major spillage of people from Toronto moving to nearby towns and cities like Brantford because it's better pricing than what they have but it's causing the rent to go up so much in these other towns and cities making it extremely difficult for anyone living there prior to this that doesn't own their home. Rent has gone up so high that working fulltime isn't enough to rent a one bedroom plus utilities anymore.. And being single with kids? Forget about it, they won't even consider you because you have one income and they can afford to be choosy with who they rent too because of the influx.

We had rent controls which came to a end because of the claim there was no incentive to build rental properties. Now that the rent controls are gone for buildings after 1991, we still don't see a lot of rental properties being built. Most rental stock has come from condo investors who can charge whatever they want and raise the rent as much as they can with each new tenant. It's now open season on renters as this story clearly shows.

Renting prices all around the south and eastern areas of ontario are overpriced. I live in the Kingston area and just room rentals are ranging from about $600-800 a month, 1 bedroom rentals are $1000-1800 and everything goes up from there. I luckily had some connections and found a room rental in the country 10 minutes from the city, beautiful 1800s stone home, I got a giant bedroom, free internet, TV, everything included for $400 a month. I'm thankful because I have a tough full time job earning min wage. Prices for everything goes up, but our wages done.

Annual property tax of a downtown condo 2b2b is $3300/year plus mortgage that will cost roughly $2000-$3000/month, monthly maintenance fee is $600/month. Say if no appliances breaks down for the year. You are looking at almost $4000/month fixed cost. Tell me how the landlord survive without charging that much rent.
