Jagmeet has a clever plan to make every Canadian renter’s annual rent go up by, hmm, pretty much exactly $5,000. https://twitter.com/theJagmeetSingh/status/1429087832358932487?s=20

Every single person in government just seems to want to beat around the real issue. This just sounds like money from the government that suddenly makes its way directly into the hands of landlords. How about, oh I dunno, building some social housing. Or perhaps even just nothing, at least that would be something that doesn't just add extra padding to the wallets of the people you claim to be penalizing.

Nobody in power wants to fundamentally change the housing system, they just want to change ownership because of how much money it funnels into the ruling party and their rich donor friends.

Yeah I'm sure the renters will appreciate it until however long it takes for the units to turn over and their next apartment's rent is even higher. Is it too much to ask for some forward thinking in policies? I don't know how much housing you could build for however much that would cost but I'm sure it's a decent amount.

Actually I think you'll find that the free market is the best arbiter of supply, demand, and prices; it just needs occasional tweaking in the form of a tax credit here and a developer incentive/handout/bribe there and we're good to go.

I know you are being sarcastic, but I think the bolded part is fairly true. The problem is that housing prices are being distorted by the fact that there are no substitutes (or very poor substitutes, like being homeless) and that people cannot enter and leave the market at will. That suggests that this market is very inefficient at price discovery. Doesn't it?

I think it's more that anything that even appears to have the possibility to negatively impact house prices would be a complete death blow to that parties electoral chances. There are a lot of homeowners, and they are way more likely to vote than renters

If things get out of hand on a basic need I don't think we're going to be counting on the free market. I guess there's also something to be said that people refer to 'free market' a lot, but there is no true free market. Literally everything that I can think of is subject to some kind of regulations be it for safety, health, whatever. In a true free market you get to decide for yourself whether the meat you're about to eat will infect you with a deadly parasite! Fun!

Baronjutter posted:I still strongly think it should be nearly impossible for a landlord to kick someone out for any reason other than like actively destroying the place or simply not paying rent. You want to re-develop the property? Tough poo poo, wait for the tenant to move out or pay for them to leave. Your daughter is moving into town to go to school and you want to give her the suite to live in? Tough poo poo, she can move in when the previous tenant leaves like anyone else. You want to renovate the unit? Better work something out with the tenant then. Building just changed owners? Doesn't matter to the tenants, their rental agreements remain the same and just as ironclad. i got kicked out of my place last year mid pandemic via the landlord's use of property clause. i moved across the street and can see my old place from my kitchen. 10 months later it's still empty. i'm guessing they are technically occupying it until they can rent it at a new higher rate or sell it

Yeah no if nobody is actually living there then pretty much for all you know it could 100% be landlord's use, and proving otherwise is impossible.

But as a disclaimer I'm not an authority on this.

It's not like it costs anything so at worst you're losing maybe 10 minutes to file it and probably 20 minutes if you show up to a hearing.

It costs $50, which you get back if you win. There is also the possibility that the landlord lawyers up for the hearing. It's not technically court, but does have technicalities and loopholes which a lawyer can exploit. Usually the amounts of money don't make this worthwhile, but I've heard of it happening when it's a developer trying to kick everyone out of a building. It's still worth trying, but it's definitely not free, and also still gives somewhat of an advantage to the more moneyed party (ie the landlord). That said, IIRC the talent deficit is bringing in like $300K/year, so I'd say you should lawyer up yourself and nail the fucker to the wall.

They should make it so if a landlord loses their case their building gets expropriated and converted into social housing.

What garbage human approved that, haha. Blind bidding isn't about the absolute end price, it's about knowing that your agent hasn't conned you into offering $20,000 more than necessary so that they can pocket a few hundred more which is my default assumption. It wouldn't solve much of the problem but realtors need to be regulated to an extreme degree and this helps a little bit. I think we can agree that if something makes OREA mad it must be a really good idea.
