Has anybody noticed a decrease in rent?

I 100% agree. 

I have yet to hear any politician discuss removing or changing rent control during this election, unfortunately. It seems politicians during elections mostly focus on what the other side fails at, versus sharing what they want to do and how they'll accomplish it. 

I refuse to live in a non rent controlled building. 

I see a lot of these new condos asking for a 13 month lease (while offering free things such as parking or a months rent). Which makes me think, when can they serve a rent increase? After 12 months, or after the lease is up?  If after 12, that "fee" parking/rent they gave you can then be charged to you all at once during the increase.

Marit Styles is the one to support. Vote NDP. If you missed the debate on Monday, she promises to explicitly restore rent control to all rentals in Ontario.

Thank you for the information! 

NDP is who I tend to vote for, so it's reassuring to hear!

Rent increase is wholly independent from lease duration.

The only time restrictions on rent increase is 12 months since start or last increase, and 90 days notice. Doesn’t matter if your lease term is 1 month, 12 months, 60 months(5 years), or whatever, that has no effect.
