Two sisters were shocked when a Toronto landlord raised their rent by $7,000 per month.
The landlord had told them he wanted to raise the rent to $3,500 and when they complained he decided to raise it to $9,500.
“We know that our building is not rent controlled and this was something we were always worried about happening and there is no way we can afford $9,500 per month," Yumna Farooq said.
Yeah agreed but because of the lack of rent control they don’t have to. That’s my point. They hold a lot of power being able to do what they want with rent changes alone.

He removed rent control from units less than 5 years old back in 2018.
