Pathways to solutions

    • I spent much of the summer going across the country to learn about some of these solutions.
    • Most are small and none are perfect (neither are the often-cited foreign examples, by the way).
    • But they all offer pathways to a more socially just housing system.

    • This means that new supply is geared to what residents can afford, not what is most profitable.

Rent control strategies are effective

    • Rent control is a set of rules guiding how much and when landlords can increase rent.
    • In most cases, sitting tenants benefit from rent control, but there’s one major loophole: when a tenant leaves, landlords can raise the rent to whatever they want.
    • While there’s a hybrid model in Manitoba that has helped to moderate rent increases, Prince Edward Island is the only province that has full vacancy control.
    • The beauty of rent control is that it doesn’t cost taxpayers anything to implement.
