The wealth gap is rapidly getting worse and our leaders are letting it happen and making it worse.
They are in on it.
@001sander2 Our leaders are more worried about political correctness rather than the homeless piling up in the streets
Thousands of refugees arriving making this mess even more toxic.
It's everywhere in Canada, food, rent, no mental health help, no doctors. This country sucks!
so move to another country
And she will still vote for pro-mass-immigration parties.
Lol you cry like a confused child!
And you'll still kick cans down the road as an entire lowly lifestyle hahaha. Remain invisible you deserve it.
Being homeless in Canada is going to skyrocket.
What does being single have anything to do with renting an apartment? Someone’s spousal situation is no one’s business. And refusing to rent because someone has children is discrimination.
Someone gets it. I would like to add housing is a necessity not a commodity.
LOL
NYX kids may tear up the joint. Also, haven been a landlord, a couple with duel redundant incomes is more attractive. Anticipation is key.
Maybe, but the landlord has no obligation to rent to a single mother with children.
@@dwaynejones1555 Most of the joints I’ve seen torn up was because of adults, not kids.
Simple math:
Rent should be 1/3.
2,500 for 1 bedroom.
Monthly income should be $7,500 Net.
😔 😔 😢 😭 😢 😭
Some say it should be 25% - so that net should be 10,000 per month or the rent should be a LOT less.
What’s your retirement math? With reduced income during retirement you may want to consider purchasing. My mortgage payment is $400 per month and my income is $12,000 per month. I pay extra every month so everything is almost payed off. Giving away 25% of your income for a temporary place to sleep seems like a bad idea to me. 33% sounds like a Dr Phil episode.
No more than 30 percent of a single person's net pay including utilities.
@@fruitsyfarms5115 Actually, your home is a temporary place which you really don't own. Don't believe me? Quit paying property taxes.
@@stephenbender7593 u can sell ur home tho...
They are gonna check you out because once you get in it is alot harder to get you out.
Thanks to Justin
This is biased, irresponsible journalism that unnecessarily pits landlords and tenants against each other. The province makes it so difficult and lengthy to evict a non paying tenant, that landlord’s have no choice to be extremely analytical in selecting tenants to protect their financial interest. I had the opportunity to become a landlord last year and I didn’t even consider it given how risky it actually is.
Its disgusting how hard it is to find affordable housing. If I move and I need to unfortunately it will cost me HALF OF MY MONTHLY INCOME
If you are on a disability pension it is 75-80% of your income so money that they say is for food is spent on rent because the money that they say is for rent is a joke.
Well, living in the big city is not a right and it was never known for being affordable especially the more desirable areas.
if we ever have to move, we will be on the sidewalk
@Oodles of Noodles you shouldn't have kids either way
Ok boomer.
Already on the sidewalk it's not bad Save-A-Lot on paying for greed
Greed
Indeed. Jagmeet Trudeau could easily help this woman. He could put her up in one of the $6,000 a night hotel rooms he gets to stay at, and could easily feed her and her family out of his $4,500 a month grocery spending.
You were referring to the greed of our elected politicians, weren't you?
@@primmakinsofis614 Nope, in general greed. There’s a lot more ppl that could take some notes on humanity. I’m not trying to get into a political, you know bigger words than me. I’m not flexing, just an opinion. My opinion.

Greed is part of humanity.
Ide love to build a tiny home on a small piece of land but the land is overpriced and tiny homes aren't allowed in most places
True I've looked extensively.
Yeah I would love to have a tiny home as well
Just the way the government likes it.
MAID is the answer. If you are sick, mentally ill, homeless, collecting welfare, a disability pension, CPP, or just don't have a job then Canadian politicians want you to seriously consider MAID. SERIOUSLY. :(
Don’t forget being a veteran needing help lol

MOVE OUT OF TORONTO !!!!!!!
Agreed, Ontario period is a joke of a province.
kind of hard to move out of Toronto is your job is in Toronto.

Then move to the outskirts.
@@shauncameron8390 the outskirts cost as much as the city. And kind of hard to move to the outskirts when you don't have a car and your job is in Toronto.

Interest rate + property tax + gas + insurance + hydro ] go up = rent go up.
😆 🤣 😂 keep voting liberal
You just need new “LEADERS” 😂🤣😂🤣😂
I bet she voted Liberal
Like the average Torontonian.
So do you think conservatives is better ? you do know Doug ford got rid of rent control that's why the prices are outta control.
They get what they voted for
@@alextoronto5840 and Trudeau brought hundreds of thousands of refugees who rely on benifits and free housing which added more financial burden on the country. All of this because Trudeau wanted to be viewed as the modern savior Jesus Christ
We should bring another million immigrants every year to solve this crisis
she's wearing a $2500.00 Canada goose jacket. Affordability isn't the issue, it's priorities.
So easy to judge behind the screen...
The nails probably cost $100, yes priorities out of order.
You guys talking about the $100 nails & $2500 jacket but what about the $750,000 in children. They cost 250k each to raise & she has 3. If I was struggling because I spent $750k on a Lamborghini would anyone feel sorry for me? What's the difference between taking on one expense you can't afford vs another. As if bringing children into your poverty lifestyle gives any moral high ground.
Trudeau/Freeland : She's doing her part to help climate change
If the government has doubled rates and home owners mortgage is going up double, who will pay this? The owners will have to pass on the increase to the consumer. Interest rates are out of control!
Exacerbated by the addiiton of 500 to 700k new residents per year.
Canada is broken. Welcome to Trudeau's Canada 😐
true but also Doug Ford's Ontario where he removed rent controls
This is provincial Trudeau has nothing to do with this, ask this greedy guy called Doug Ford
@@001sander2 That was for new buildings and it was 15 years ago.
In 2022, rent increase in Ontario is 1.2% and for the next year the maximum increase 2.5%.
@@ABCABC-hd8iqthat was not 15 years ago.
@@saidibrahim5931 of course Trudeau is responsible as well. The huge influx of foreign equity funds buying up billions of dollars in real estate has driven up prices and frozen out ordinary Canadians
Why was she forced from her neighborhood? Perhaps she was renting a private house and her lease ended and she was asked to leave. But to move to a new rental, yes, the rent is now skyrocketed.
🤦🏽♂️
It said her landlord sold her rental and the new owners most likely wanted to live in the home
@Oodles of Noodles at least 60 days.
@Oodles of Noodles Even then she wouldn't be afford to rent because it will still be unaffordable.
@@demisavage77 what do my you mean the landlord sold her rental? Do you mean they sold their real estate? What Do you mean sold her rental as if they did something wrong?
Real Estate agent are blaming interest rate and not enough supply from construction to meet demand.
It pure class war
Bureaucracy has made building too costly.
This lady is so selfish, doesn't she know those rentals are for new immigrants!?

now here's something crazy
What happened to her husband
I’m in Ottawa much much affordable here 1 bedroom is like 1200-1500$
I'm paying $700 here in a big town in Iowa. All utilities included
if provincial and federal government don't do anything about this, Ontario and Toronto population will decline very fast, no one can afford this
You will own nothing and you will be happy :)
So will homelessness 😢
The poorest of the poor population would definitely increase

Mabe u 3 guys
Really. This has been going on for 20 years..Smendricks👎
Interest rate is not high enough!
Raise them now!
Lots of rental units in nothern ontario
In five years more like 100% it is so stressful.
I was a single male paying 1.100-1,200 for a two bedroom making 1,800 and now im living in a 1 bedroom for 1,700 plus hydro
Soooo sad
Build more apartments houses are to expensive.
Repeal city zoning laws.
I rent my downtown one bedroom to someone for $1900, but with my mortgage renewal, my mortgage is up by $600. While I don't want to increase the rent, I will have to because interest is so much higher. I will have to break the news to the tenant after the new year.
I assume your apartment was built after 2018
Sounds like you are just like one of those greedy landlords everyone hates. I hope you lose your home, you deserve it!!!
@@lapraxi yes it was, and I am variable rate...
K assume you increased rent by $600 too? So your tenant is the one to pay the price and consequences of your poor financial decisions? You chose to go variable rate when rates were historically low probably out of greed. If things were reverse and you were making big money than expected from that appartment, would you also share the result with your tenant?
@@Lymoate no, they wouldn't. They would exploit a tenant to their own gain everytime. Sadly, disgustingly it's our learned nature.
Don't worry... Trudeau will have our backs 🙄
HahahaHahaha!!!
Great joke!!
With his knife stuck in it.

@@beyondthestars4299 I don't think a conservative would keep raising taxes and creating inflation while we're in a recession.
@@robbarber7253 I hope it's true
government gave out cerb , they are needing it back
The Government have to decrease interest , tax, gas , insurance, hydro then the rent will be back on the track like last year before the interest keep go up like crazy . FED UP = MESS UP
I think the government should take action to assist with calming the housing and renting market. What you suggested would not be effective strategies in combating the current situation though.
lowering interest rates will just see a larger increase in inflation. The govt should stop printing money for the massive deficit they created. Then they need to start building more affordable housing for low income families instead of letting developers build million dollar condos that the average Canadian cannot afford just so the investor can then rent out that condo to low income families that will be subsidized by the govt.
@@pacman3556
Which is in response to government over-regulation that made those condos the only high-density housing developers are legally allowed to build in the city with any decent ROI.
@@shauncameron8390 affordable housing doesn't require a decent ROI. It is govt owned and subsidized housing.

@@edjua2736 They don't need to raise taxes to reduce rent or enact rental control and you have got your private companies and your public government mixed up.
@@DontCryAboutIt Yes, Trudeau has a Liberal way of fixing the problems: housing shortage - increase immigration, health crisis - increase immigration.
MAID is the answer. If you are sick, mentally ill, homeless, collecting welfare, a disability pension, CPP, or just don't have a job then Canadian politicians want you to seriously consider MAID. SERIOUSLY. :(
She looks like a fiend.......
Issue is the ltb is in efficient and tenants are taking advantage especially if their single mothers as they get to argue some humanitarian angle for not paying rent. Not paying rent for 2 years before the court makes a decision is a total avoidance of justice. When tenants are held accountable to pay rent landlord’s will be less apprehensive to rent to whomever. At present they are only renting to tenants with the best financials because of the above reason. If you want free housing it should be built by the government not by the private owners who have had to pinch Pennie’s to buy their investment properties.
Both sides are suffering. Some landlords dont get paid but most do. Less than 4% of ltb claims are due unpaid rent.
On the other side tho, far more tenants are being screwed by landlords who don't fix things and don't maintain things despite being paid every month and having that investment paid for by their tenants.
Don't worry I won't ever rent.
Where's daddy?
MAID = SOYLENT GREEN…
"Single mother " where is her ex or the one who got her pregnant? Why not take responsibility? Where Is her family or parents? What a sick society 🤧
There's more to that story you broken personality and silly illiterate. Look pass your dense naivety: if she's in that situation, in this society of all places, she's misbehaving.
This is what liberalism and the welfare state encourage.
To much, to fast immigration is the cause. Slow the flow. And community will grow. Raise the rents ppl will tent.
Need more public renting flat and more public housing
yes we need more ghettos great idea
She's free to live in Jane & Finch.
Bad life choices… beget bad life choices…
This happened to me ALL the time before. I went through this for years until I found the place I am in now. (Due to discrimination)
This what you voted for Toronto
Is it time to celebrate single motherhood? Get back to work.
Maybe the government will consider Assisted Suicide for families?

WHAT ABOUT THE OVER PRICE ELECTRIC CAR THE GOVERNMENT WANT MANDATE, SHE NEED A CAR TOO
I want all kinashit gimme gimme gimme
This is unfortunate, but renting a house to a single mother with three kids is equal to suicide for a small landlord.
In cases like this, the government must step in and help the family. This is not the poor landlords responsibility!
Absolutely. I'd ask her point blank where daddy is.
As long as the bills are paid, there's no issue.
Except maybe your judgement.

Life insurances is very cheap. Your husband should have bought some.
The emphasis in the news story is in all who find themselves disadvantaged, like the homeless. Food bank usage is the result of not being paid a fare wage , enough to have a home, to raise a family. Wages simply don't keep up with the greed, the price gouging, the real estate feeding frenzy. It's squeezing more and more poeple on to the street. You see it happening all around you, but you remain blind. 0_o
Just like the rents can't keep up with rising insurance premiums, property taxes, mortgage and interest, etc.
@@shauncameron8390 : Which preceded which ? To my knowledge, rent has always outpaced poeple's ability to earn. The evidence you say ? The mushrooming and burgeoning homeless all across the country. Even in the video posted, this single mother with three children, has a full time job yet, she was priced out of her home. She wasn't behind on her rent, it became unaffordable. Greed knows no bounds, it extracts from whom it can , wherever it can , it has no conscience. The evidence.? Canada's skyrocketing homeless, its everywhere. Being purposely deaf to hear and blind to see, the ruin, the carnage, the indifference, is as blood thirsty as it gets. It's a predation that is destroying the fabric of this country. 0_o
Oh no not the poor real estate investors. I will make sure everyone is homeless before they go through any hardships.
Dude it's so bad it makes me sick.
I can't stand how poeple are saying get Trudeau out like really what's that going to accomplish.
We need to get the vermin out that keep buying up all the properties so locals can't afford it. That won't be done through "voting".
There needs to be limits on how much homes poeple can own.
You’re in the matrix now
We need housing that has normal rates... No they will build more housing thats more expensive..... Over and over
What may be normal rate in one place could be abnormally low or high in another.
Build your own. That’s the only to do things the way you want.
Well I bet she has tons of "incentive" now huh boomer monsters?
There are too many bad tenants. The horror stories I've heard I make me wonder how you can trust any tenant.

single mother wants to rent a house in a rental crisis. what is the cost of a house today to rent over 4500?
1 bedrooms average about 1700 to 2000 depending on location and then it increases from there. 2 bedrooms are 2k to 2.5k and 3 bedrooms and up ate 2.5k as high as 4k
Oh but trudoo has it all under control...
If I had homes that I was renting out I would only charge rent from January through October so the families wouldn't have to pay rent for November and December and plus if there were kids living there theres absolutely no way in hell I'm kicking the family out with no roof over their heads. Who in they're right minds does such a thing.
