so, supposedly wealthy immigrants are coming to live in Toronto, so the rent goes on increasing. So, they are bringing money, landowners earning more, yet the anti immigrant spin on this is mindless.

Just wondering what is the homeless population like in Toronto or Vancouver? I wonder is your homeless population growing? 41k for rent wow ??

Is 41k reasonable for rent for a month? helping drive up inflation sounds cool. Sorry, I would not spend 41k on rent. I would buy a house. Please stay in Toronto and Vancouver don't come near I live in my city and never used to have homeless people on the streets.

No wonder places like Vancouver or any of the bigger cities have a lot of homeless. When people can't afford to live in Vancouver or Toronto they bring their problems ? other cities like in places like Calgary.

If this continues, Toronto would put Hong Kong to shame in terms of high cost of housing

Toronto is not part of Canada anymore.

Seems to be a matter of population distribution because the focus is on Toronto and Vancouver

I'm sorry, but that Ukrainian guy doing food delivery in Toronto should volunteer and join up. no duut abuut it.

Indian poops in public in Toronto wtf !

Toronto used to be beautiful a great place to live, and considered one of the cleanest cities in the world.

Maybe interview the Toronto Mayor? Or the governor? These leaders need to provide answers to the crisis

I wont recommend to move to Toronto even you are rich because what are you gonna do wit your money there? .There are so. many amazing places around the world where you could have a good life .There is nothing in Toronto for people with money .

Canada is a big country, stop flocking to the same cities. Toronto is full.

why leave your shethole country to make canada a shethole? if you want to leave your shethole country to become canadian i welcome you. but if you want to move here to turn toronto into a shethole, like what it has become... then leave.

The homeless in Toronto near Jarvis and Eaton are pretty dangerous like they attack in groups

Don’t blame the government’s failure to provide adequate housing on immigration. The housing crisis exists even if no more immigrants arrive. All levels of government failed in recognizing housing as their highest priority. The City of Toronto for example, is spending money and councillors’ energy rename street rather than putting that towards housing. The Canadian government is littered with incompetence, starting at the top.

it's the Toronto real estate doom loop, rents go up, no affordable housing, developers have politicians in their pockets etc etc lol and has held up for quite a long time. System collapse and reset needed badly lol

Sorry, Canada is not just Toronto. There's enough space for everybody's... The solution is anywhere but Toronto(Ontario) for newly arrived immigrants.

Why politicians say we need more immigrants. When there are far more people already in big cities like Toronto and Vancouver. I would say enough is enough just limit any new immigrants to big cities and send to other parts of Canada.

When we brought in scores of Portuguese and Italians, they literally built Toronto for us. They *produced*. Today we bring in almost useless Uber drivers and fast food workers. They produce *nothing*. It's a crying shame.

I thought all the real estate agents says rent prices are crushing in Toronto just in other youtube videos

...and yet the number of unsold condos in Toronto keeps rising lol. \nLeft Toronto in 2006 will never look back, though, I have some fond memories of growing up (CityTV everywhere!).

Why is there not a registry that shows problematic tenants? Oh, I guess that would never happen in Toronto due to their leftist agenda.

toronto was expensive 10 years ago when I visited. go to somewhere in canada other than toronto or vancouver.

As a landlord in Toronto, I had to return my tenant full year rent costs for him to move out in the end of the year cause i wanted to stop renting out. The system is broken.

This is HORRIBLE and Toronto is a haven for criminal activity to innocent people. Get those non payers OUTTTTTT NOWWWW.

Why is everyone moving to Toronto. Canada is not Toronto. There are many places in Canada that needs to be developed. Why not develop other places. Toronto is saturated with people. Our resources are depleted. Rents are very high. New immigrants should go live in other parts of Canada. Start communities and businesses in other areas. All new immigrants cannot settle in Toronto. We need the rest of Canada to be developed.

The foreigners i encountered in Toronto were wealthy foreign non-resident owners of condos they rented out. I wonder who owns all the properties in Toronto. Are the owners still mostly foreign investors?\nCheck out who is rich instead of pitting poor against poor.

I could be wrong but perhaps making arrivals spread out in other cities like calgary edmonton and the likes could ease up pressure on Toronto & Vancouver.

This legislation needs to be changed to support the landlords and if the the federal , provincial and municipal levels provides incentives to landlords maybe people wouldn’t withhold rent. Olivia Chow invited people to Toronto and the NDp will support you.

Lol Toronto, 41k is probably the monthly rent.

It works both ways. A lot of illegals from Latin America are also passing thru the U.S. enroute to Canada. Thousands are seeking refugee status upon arrival into Quebec or Ontario. Toronto is already bursting at the seams with tens of thousands of refugees plus new immigrants arriving every year. Add in a lack of affordable housing and jobs, and you have the makings of a disaster just like NYC.

Immigration is a HUGE issue , surtout from India. I moved to Quéebec, who at one point wanted their identity to remain francophone, we have Indian immigrants on Québec like I was In Toronto, or Bramladesh, Québec used to immigrate people spoke the language, or had the likelyhood to adopt the culture. Haiti, Africa, France, etc.. however, Inia immigrants have ( majority ) no intention to speak french.... and yes housing crisis , needs for doctors and more..

5 yrs later Brampton Mayor is of Indian decent. Next will be Mississauga. & finally Toronto...

Lived in Toronto 10 years ago, Canadians are not kind they're just better educated thant Americans.

Now they only rent on 28 day basis it’s like a quasi airbnb system. you can do it outside of Toronto. make the tenant sign every month. and also furnish the apartment with really basic stuff. the tenants are poor they have no choice.

Not only this but Toronto’s traffic is an unbelievable mess each day…

What is wrong with Toronto? If someone can’t pay their rent, they should be evicted!

i dont understand, when im late on my rent i get an eviction notice dated for a certain day, if that day comes they show up with police and move me out? why is it so different in toronto, im only in edmonton canada.

Should have invested in something other than a Toronto condo. It's too risky.

Welcome to Toronto, India. Trudeau needs his votes.

TORONTO is the furthest thing from CANADIAN!

Toronto is a hellscape.

Renting is the worst business in Canada. And the Toronto, Ontario and Canada Governements wonder why there is shortage of rental accommodations. I can easily accommodate one family in my home. But I know if there is an epidemic like Covid and the tenant does not pay the rent, I will be screwed. And rather than have a plan that can enable a tenant own a home, the Governments mentioned have plans that will make the landlord bankrupt and become a tenant! The tenancy laws are bad, bad, bad!

I would evict her using FORCE. \nHowever, being a condo owner and charging more than 2000$ for rent is absolutely not a good business. \n\nLiving in Toronto is unaffordable.

I’m a Brit who was on a concert tour around North America. When we got to Toronto, I was surprised at how many Indians were there. No hate, but it was noticeable.

Canada government should not bring any people for the next 4 years. And if they bring people they should stay other provinces for atheist 5 years not Ontario province specially TORONTO.

I was once in Toronto back in 2017 , when I was in town or shopping mall I thought I was in new dehli og Kolkata or something. For to much Indians, since than I never traveled back to Canada

The tenant has not paid rent or utilities for 4 years! The Landlord /Tennent Board is a joke in Ontario. The tenant is playing the system, she knows the Landlord /Tennant Board is an ineffective government organization. Why would anyone invest in a rental property in Toronto? You could wind up like these people.

Usual suspect…but that poor landlord was greedy though. Just owning one property is more than a trouble….taking care of it and stewarding it. Wonder Toronto looks like garbage with people ignoring to take of their property. Many not even cutting their grass.
