Trying to pay their mortgage is one thing,but getting greedy and making us pay for 70%-80% more rent is another,especially if you have to pay utilities on the side!!Once this petition is filled,I'll be sending it to the Provincial Gov't, to see if we can make a law to prevent these people from price gouging on rent.It will also ask them to increase the rent rates to the 75% Median market rate, to keep pace with inflation each year.With less than a 1% rent vacancy rate,they cannot do this to people who can not afford proper rent!! By speaking out and signing this petition,your voice will be heard and the more people sign,the Gov't will understand how serious the situation is!Thank you for your time!

I honestly did not think this would gain this much steam so fast because it feels like everyone is just tired of being ignored by landlords who treat us like piggy banks. It honestly blows my mind seeing so many people jumping on board and realizing that we deserve better than paying massive chunks of our paychecks for places that barely function. Keep pointing people toward this because the government actually has to look at us if we keep growing like this.

Totally agree. They act like we are made of money.
Moving is not even an option because everything else is just as expensive. It feels like we are being held hostage by these property owners.
Its getting impossible to live in this city. How am I supposed to pay for food when 80% of my check goes to a tiny basement apartment? Enough is enough.
Rent is way too high. Landlords are just greedy plain and simple.
GREEDY PEOPLE. STOP THE PRICE GOUGING!!!!

My landlord just hiked my rent again by 200 dollars. I have two jobs and still barely scrape by. Something needs to change soon.
