👉Tenants in a Toronto apartment complex are opposing a proposed above-guideline rent increase, claiming it partially funds a redevelopment-related environmental assessment. Amy Nyp, a long-time tenant, argues it’s unfair for renters to cover costs unrelated to their living needs. The landlord, QMW Corporation, applied for the increase, stating the funds are intended for property upgrades benefiting tenants. However, tenants and the York South-Weston Tenants Union contend the expenses don’t qualify under Ontario’s Residential Tenancy Act. The union's co-chair, Chiara Padovoni, criticized the move as a violation of tenant rights. Ontario's rent guideline for 2024 is set at 2.5%.✅ .

👉The B.C. government has proposed legislation allowing the City of Vancouver to cap rent increases for new tenants in the Downtown Eastside's single-room occupancy (SRO) buildings. Rent increases, which have risen from $800 to $1,950 a month, would be limited. The Ministry of Housing estimates up to 1,000 people could benefit from the measure, preventing exploitation by landlords. Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim welcomed the change, emphasizing the need to protect low-income tenants from eviction and homelessness. The Downtown Eastside Collaborative Society warns that without action, more tenants could face displacement.✅ . 𝐓𝐨𝐲𝐨𝐭𝐚 & 𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐔𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐯𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐠𝐚𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐞!
