STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOS
How is rent control a bad idea? After a $50 rent increase in 2019, Urchin Properties informed me of a $100 monthly increase for 2020! Now almost half of my income will go to pay rent for a one-bedroom apartment with absolutely no perks. $945!!! I am being priced out of a place to live on Dundas Street in Dartmouth.
I am a single woman with no dependents, thankfully. Ridiculous — and without rent control, these raises will happen every year. Way to fight for your voters, Stephen McNeil (of which I was not one). Maybe I could live at your house!
