text: Govt needs to control rent like in Montreal.  Landlord needs to inform new tenants of previous tenants' rent.  Landlord can then only raise let's say 2% according to board guideline.  This way landlord has no incentive to evict tenants using excuses such as N12 form (for self/family use) or renovation.
  Landlords have been using those excuses to evict tenants in bldgs built before 1991, then apply new market rent which defeats purpose of rent control once the lease is up.
  Landlord Tenant board will see tons of evictions in this hot market using those excuses if rent control is not like Montreal's.
  
  Ontario landlords: don't be too greedy, don't start screaming, you had too good on the backs of renters many of whom are going broke.
  Montreal landlords do well and renters there do well too.
  
  Toronto and Ontario is downright unaffordable.
  Retail sucks, and people are complaining about cost of onions !  
  Housing is sucking the economy dry.
