Rents across Canada have achieved unaffordable status for many. Perhaps none more so than Toronto sisters Yumna and Khadeja Farooq. Their 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment where they have lived for 3 years and for which they most recently have been paying $2,500 monthly rent was suddenly raised by $7,000 to $9,500 per month, to begin November 1, 2023. The sisters sought legal advice and will join us to share what they have found out. (Their building was constructed after 2018 making it exempt from rent control.)
Guests: Yumna and Khadeja Farooq.
