Two sisters were shocked when a Toronto landlord raised their rent by $7,000 per month.

The landlord had told them he wanted to raise the rent to $3,500 and when they complained he decided to raise it to $9,500.

“We know that our building is not rent controlled and this was something we were always worried about happening and there is no way we can afford $9,500 per month," Yumna Farooq said.

    Then do it dude. No one is stopping you. I’m saying someone has to put up the cash.

    You’re saying…I’m not sure what exactly cuz no one is jumping to build public housing anywhere.

    But if you think you can provide public housing at cost go for it. Someone has to pay UP FRONT and I’m not sure who u think that actually Is.
