The average asking rent in Canada went up last month to a record $2,078. A new report from Rentals-dot-c-a and research firm Urbanation says the total is 8.9 per cent higher than a year earlier.

l

how is this sustainable?

One way to drive down prices is to make it mandatory that in every condo going up in the city you have to alot ⅓ of the apartments to lower income rental units. Probably easier said than done, but no reason this is going on other than greed.

Or gasp the friggin government can do what singapore does

With more than 1 million flats spread across 24 towns and 3 estates, the Singapore brand of public housing is uniquely different. The flats spell home for over 80% of Singapore's resident population, of which, about 90% own their home


the government could easily build housing


The government doesn't care, even poillvere is a landlord


all of these are crooks

I used to work as a janitor right after Uni and I actually enjoyed it. If the pay bump is foreal I may have to look into this as a 2nd job:patrice:

Currently cleaners start at step 1 and step 4 is after 3 years. But CUPE/opseu bargaining is up and we are preparing for a 3 dollar plus for each step

Step 1Step 2Step 3Step 4
$23.43$24.16$24.90$25.66
