Rent control was long overdue it is one of the sure fire ways to cool the provincial housing market and protect tenants. Landlords were abusing the system now they lost their loophole. And in a few months many landlords who own multiple properties through a ccpc are about to get taxed more as well with the loss of tax loopholes. However, recent reports of landlords turning of the AC during heatwaves is concerning. I think they are doing this because for those properties - hydro which is still overpriced was already included in the rent that is now protected from major rate hikes. Is there any legal way to separate utilities like hydro from the rent price after the recent rent control legislation? Tenants can complain to the LTB if their landlord is not completing necessary maintenance - stop crying.
