🇨🇦 “Renovictions” not just popular in Alberta. To do this to a blind 74 year old man? Shocking!
Turner had lived in the building in Edmonton's Old Strathcona neighbourhood since 2009. In January, Turner received a notice stating that his rent was jumping from $870 a month to $1,500 a month. There is no cap on rent increases in Alberta. #affordablehousing #rentincrease #renovictions #alberta

A hard time emotionally with my son and sister today. I don't think they quite get why I might need to move. It is hard when you're not in someone else's financial situation. It may also be hard to understand the concerns of someone not wanting to go down a route that could lead to a desperate life when you don't have those same concerns.

My sister and son live close by and so it is not without some pain that Florida's catastrophic rent increases force a move farther away. I will be grateful, however, to find a dwelling where there is safety and an air conditioner.

A Florida city in my sites as my next place of residence is Gainesville. Housing is fairly reasonable if you don't mind a tiny dwelling. I've lived there before when I was married and my son was little. I wonder if I can live there without being too affected by memories of my then-difficult-marriage. On a positive note, there used to be an anarchist library and a great used bookstore and cafe where an active writers' critique group met. #Gainesville #Housing #FloridaRent #RentIncrease

The good news re: my personal Florida housing crisis is it looks like I may have more affordable options further north. My goal is to stay in the state in order to hopefully afford to move some of my things. Free market capitalism, I survived cancer, I'll be damned if I let you take me out. “The art of living is more like wrestling than dancing because an artful life requires being prepared to meet and withstand sudden and unexpected attacks.” Marcus Aurelius. #Housing #RentIncrease #Florida

@icarurs Wow! That would be illegal here (in BC). "The 2023 maximum increase will be 2%." I just got the 3-month notice of my rent increase (3 months' notice is required): 2%.

My rent is going up $1,000 at renewal in March (USA - central Florida). We live in a 2BR 1,000 sq ft apartment where there have been constant flooding and mold issues. The drainage is so bad in the parking lot that several cars were flooded and totaled during Hurricane Ian. Regular plumbing issues and garbage buildup. They want $2,400 plus fees per month for this place.
What is this hellscape?

Not surprisingly, the majority (56%) of people below the #poverty line were #renting, while only 17% of people in poverty were home-owners who didn’t have a mortgage.

Of course keep in mind these figures are from before the number of natural disasters the country has seen in 2022.

Which was then followed by the heartless and greedy #RentIncrease and #HousingShortage that followed.
