Housing in Ontario has gone from bad to worse. Renters in Ontario face skyrocketing rents, housing insecurity, and a lack of affordable options. Whether it’s through a false own-use eviction or a renoviction, the end result is the same: the absence of full rent control means renters are being evicted from their homes so landlords can make more money. 

The province has the power to protect renters. All they need to do is eliminate the loopholes that allow landlords to charge such high rents. It’s time to end vacancy decontrol, scrap the 2018 exemption for new builds, and eliminate Above Guideline Increases.
