I want to bring your attention to a situation that is facing my son who is a second year student at Western University in London Ontario.  He is renting a room in a three bedroom suite at the Luxe Student Residence (a private student only residence for Western students).  He is currently paying 545 a month.  This week he was told that his rent will go up 200$ per month.  I believe the owner of the building has been seeing what is going on in Toronto and his taking a shot at gouging these students.  I am counselling him and other students in the building to not resign their leases and go elsewhere.  The owner needs to get the message that raising rents beyond what the market can bear will mean he will lose tenants.
