Good luck finding a place, the landlords now are asking huge sums because of the horrible  tenant laws that protect the bad tenants, it takes 3 months minimum to evict a non paying tenant and recouping damages from transient deadbeats is near impossible, the government says no security deposits allowed so many tenants just trash the place and throw garbage all over the place. The bad tenants and the bad tenant law are a reason why the rents are the way they are, every cost caused by bad tenants get priced into the new rents. The government better build more social housing ghettos because small landlords are getting out of it, no one is going to rent their basements out when you have insane, criminal and drug addict tenants protected by law under your roof.
