Ryan Simmons has lived in West Broadway for over a decade. After a brand new proprietor purchased the constructing he lives in, they changed lighting fixtures, resurfaced the car parking zone, and hiked his hire.

“It was about 18 per cent, and they basically increased the rent for all the units by the same dollar amount,” says Simmons. “So people that live on their own in a bachelor, it was a big increase for them but a much smaller increase for people in multi-person units.”

Whereas Simmons was interesting that enhance with the Residential Tenancies Department, he acquired hit with one other enhance — this time, 43 per cent. The hire for his bachelor condominium went from $556 to $951 a month.
