  • As the cost of rent rises across Canada, a new report from Rentals.ca suggests Alberta's biggest cities are leading the pack. For the second month in a row, Edmonton has seen the highest levels of rent inflation among major Canadian municipalities, with Calgary posting the second-highest rate. CBC’s Emily Fitzpatrick takes a look at what's behind the surge.

      The most disgusting thing is the exorbitant rise in rents and housing prices since covid. Pure greed in my opinion. Before was bad and we need mass public housing for even the middle class for sure to compete to lower prices against private units, but, rents and property prices need to start plumetting to pre covid levels just for a start. Dont give in, keep pressing the market down, we need to be able to afford to eat and have reasonable lives. We cannot sustain the economy off a poverty stricken middle class. Just my opinion.

    Rent is only affordable when you can afford to pay it without cutting back on groceries etc. Even groceries aren't affordable. People who make $5000/month for them rent is affordable. People who make $1500/month. Rent is definitely not affordable. While the government thinks it's doable. Maybe the government should try living for $1500/month to say really how affordable is it?!

Even minimum wage is $2600 per month and take home won't be a ton lower as you barely get anything taken off at that income level.

    Man, in 2006 I paid $450 a month for a bachelor suite with a river valley view, all utilities included. I lived on Bellamy hill and I never felt unsafe, even the drug dealers that hung out on the stairs were polite and sometimes helped me down the stairs when it was icy. Now that area is very bad I heard which is unfortunate because I lived living there. That same apartment is almost $900 now and no utilities included. It’s insane how times have changed.

      Welcome to Canada, Alberta is last; or close, but Angervatives begged Canadians to move here. P.S. They're mostly not angervatives so relying on oil & God may be coming to an end. But, it would also mean taxes, plus enforcing "laws" without media forcing aforementioned laws. I'm talking traffic, noise, etc. Not encampments no Canadian party has a fix for. I'm disabled & poor, but asylums should be brought back. With more oversight. Won't be perfect, & may affect me, but police not being able to enforce laws is dumber than my 8 proven things wrong via health-scare Canada; so, I have 20. ;)

    Here in Alberta, the tenancy agreement has no capping to rent increases during renewal. Also, the tenancy laws are followed according to the Landlords wish. We don't have much options since overall, the rent is lower than other provinces. We just have to deal with it unless Government takes some effort to make changes to the tenancy agreement. The only thing I learnt as a tenant was that if you are honest & pay your rents on time, take good care of the property etc, you get screwed more by Landlord since they will take advantages on good tenants. Be careful when you sign tenancy agreement & ensure the finer details are clearly understood.

When I argued the Tenancy clause stating the I am not liable & also upon taking legal advise, the landlord didn’t bother to reply to my justification & send me the invoice threatening that she will not renew the lease & fine would need to be paid. We had no choice but to pay & realized how powerful landlords are in Alberta. They run the show here since tenancy laws is not regulated well & many clauses here are vague which indeed supports Landlord rights. Evictions are faster here within 2-3weeks.

So the money is there BUT the Provincial governments down to City level won't cut the Red tape & refuse to pass permits for Multiple units in one plot of land & rezoning issues they wont compromise on. AIRBNB although recently dealt with was a big contributor as well as International Students visas too many approved on top of regular skills/trade Visas.

And why are we treating people who bought houses as a business decision for renting as regular homeowners? That is the homeowner's not tenant's responsibility in my opinion. Maybe the banks need to be more flexible on giving them time to pay, but homeowners can do other things, like taking on another real job, instead of passing the buck to tenants who are barely surviving. That is not right, renting is not supposed to be a poverty trap, its a place for one to help build for their future while providing a little bit of extra income to the landlord.Just my opinion again.
