    Ending evergreen leases and rent control is going to be an unmitigated disaster that’s going to result in thousands of people becoming homeless.

    I have never in my life seen such a fucking brain dead, stupid, self serving political move that is so blatantly against the interests of common people in Canada.

    Fucking appalling.

      it’s so idiotic. They firmly believe that places are sitting vacant because Landlords “fear” evergreen leases. No. Places are sitting vacant because people refuse to pay $2500+ a month for a shoebox. They don’t get it. you lower prices and gasp people start paying. But all they can get through their thick as fuck skulls is a JG Wentworth commerical “I need cash now” they can’t think of the long term. Would you rather a consistent and steady income on your rental property over years with a tenant that has happy to pay decent rent? or would you rather potentially make more for a single year and then sit on a vacant unit because no one wants to pay your prices. And these morons pick “you’re saying I’ll have a lot of money for one year?”
