New Rent control rules could mark return to sky-high rent increases for Toronto tenants

Toronto housing   New Rent control rules   With new Rent control rules and the province of Ontario scrapping rent control for new units across Ontario as of November 15, 2018, affordable housing advocates are warning that the changes could mark a return to sky-high rent increases for thousands of Toronto tenants.   The Progressive Conservative government revealed the details on November 15, 2018 through the fall economic statement, announcing legislation which ends rent control for all newly-built or newly-converted rental units going forward — while maintaining rent control for current tenants — as part of a new Housing Supply Action Plan.

Toronto home sales decline, could sign to a return to normal market

  Toronto real estate market has seen the effects of a confluence of policies: Ontario’s Fair Housing Policy, including a foreign buyers’ tax aimed at cooling the market; a new mortgage stress test targeted at protecting Canadians from dangerously high household debt levels; and the Bank of Canada’s moves to increase interest rates.   The Ontario government needed to act to cool the over-heated market when it peaked at more than 30 per cent year-over-year price growth last April, 2017..   If the government’s policy target was to increase affordability of buyers, that has not happened yet.
