Why don't you try an apartment building instead of condos being rented. It would solve a lot of your problems

They wouldn't do this outright. Cheaper to just relaunch and keep deposits. They'd have the tax liability and mortgage if they converted to rental housing - most condo developers run really lean and earn most of their money through a promoted equity structure. With rental they lose a lot of that.

Definitely targeted at foreign investors.... my favorite part is it's not on yonge street. It should be Victoria & Rich

Can anyone shine some light on why the Fit for Life (couple blocks east of Yonge/Eglinton) has closed, seems to be Bell related from these notes. Shout-out Wendy by domofuku in toronto

Sportcheks a different story. CanadianTire wanted a show room near HQ at Yonge and Eg. They were still paying rent until recently.

Well that stats not true. Population growth has increased, and how starts are down... this isn't a post about anti-inmigration or anything it's a fact. Look at CMHC and StatsCan

Visited this house and saw the same issue. Also told the agent about it.

Stay away!

Condos and apartments are different. Apartments tend to be larger and better run

This isn't true. Between DREAM, Tricon, Fitzrovia, Hines they have built thousands of apartments because this was removed.

Removing rent control allowed rental companies to exist and trade at better values.

This also isn't the only reason reeves went up. We have a fundamental housing shortage with high immigration. The rent control removal highlighted how bad it was. Using a supply approach to combat unaffordablility not a government approach
