Landlords are plotting and scheming against you because they can only earn 3.8% more this year.
This is a time when landlords and rental / housing companies are making record profits. They should be happy with 3.8%, it’s more than I would give them.

We need a PERMANENT rent cap of 2% or inflation, whichever is lower.
We need to ban reno-victions. If you lived there before the reno’s, you have the right to live there after.
When a building is sold, tenants should have the right of first refusal.

Housing needs to be built at an unprecedented rate to increase supply and decrease prices.
Rental Unions need to be in place to give tenants a bargaining voice against their landlords.
Private Companies should get NO funding. Only public serves should get public money.

I have created this thread to vent about Anchor Towers in Plein Street. The service we receive as tenants is below par compared to the exorbitant rentals we pay. Following are my gripes: 1) install CCtv cameras on every floor. You can't send out communication to

tenants telling them to insure their stuff that gets stolen when you do nothing to help hinder petty crime in your building. 2) We are being terrorised by a group of kids every day!!! The noise levels are becoming unbearable as more tenants with kids join the community.
On Saturday night, 3 adults tried to get the kid to tone it down but to no avail. The kids were running on the floors at 21H50 at night. What kind of sane parent allows a kid to play outside til that time? Why must adults be terrorised by children when we are the ones who pay
HOUSING THREAD: 1/My office has been getting calls and emails from tenants about A/C charges. Landlords are demanding tenants pay $2-$300 dollars in order to operate an air conditioner. The main question we’re getting – is this legal? Let’s break it down.
2/Landlords can charge a monthly fee to tenants with air conditioners if they have done so every year you’ve been a tenant, or if this is your first year of tenancy. This fee must be monthly, and must be only for cost recovery for the landlord.
3/Landlords are not allowed to charge their tenants a one time fee for an air conditioner.
Landlords cannot introduce a charge for something that has been previously included in the rent.
A landlord cannot remove something that was previously provided to you.
