RE: Tenant Relations: There…

RE: Tenant Relations: There is no way that Canadians can suffer further by removing our tenant rights! The Ontario Provincial government caused massive unaffordable housing already when they removed rent caps.

If you took a survey, you would find that there are massive new rental apartments / housing built across many towns in Ontario that have sat empty since they were built! My small town alone, a suburb of Windsor, has three of the four new apartment buildings sitting empty because the rental rates are $2200.00 plus for a 2b/2b apartment! Chatham has many new homes that people move into but can't afford to pay the high rent, bills and groceries. The process is destructive for both landlords and tenants. People want and need affordable housing!

Homes are being rented where the upstairs is rented separately from the basement unit, without any security between the units, and each asking $2200+ or more! Rent has doubled. If the Ontario Premier wants to improve tenant frameworks immediately, he should consider giving landlords a tax credit of $1000 month for each unit for one year or more until housing gets built. I am suggesting $1k/month because the average rent is currently double of what is affordable! This would also offer builders an incentive of guaranteed credit and immediate tenants. Once proper housing increases the demand will go down and incentives can stop.

Without proper housing, people are desperate, and they don't feel safe, and are suffering. This causes them to be needy and steal to survive. It causes tent cities and long food bank lines.

Homelessness is not going away in Ontario! When will the Provincial Premier, a "Public Servant" understand that Canadians are suffering due to underfunding in Ontario?

I hope my comments are taken seriously, because I can't believe that Canadians are forced to live in tents in the middle of our Canadian winters! I have never witnessed so much suffering on every possible level due to underfunding in Ontario! Do the right thing and get housing back on track please!
