My partner and I take home 6k a month. We work for the city. In Stratford, ON, it took us 3 months to find a place. Bidding wars took us out. We managed to find a place for 2k - because we work with our landlord's dad. It's awful, thanks to foreign investors paying way over value

Lmfao all going as planned. This is the liberal WEF plan for all Canadians. Even if you own a home they will take it in the coming years. You will lose everything in the name of the environment

What isn't being talked about nearly enough is that wages are 20 years behind. Though it probably doesn't matter because companies are sp accustomed to outlandish profit margins that they will just jack up retail amd service prices accordingly. Capitalism is unsustainable.

I live in Brampton…How do all the East Indian do it….they own their houses…drive expensive cars, get food delivered by Uber and most are immigrants.🧐🤔

Well, IF she voted liberal.....

This is ridiculous.

Due to greedy Immigrants buying up all these homes and then jacking up the rent to make hugh profits.

This is all a part of our slide into socialism. Shortages, lineups, dependence, hunger, poverty, misery, crime… It happens virtually everywhere it’s tried. Welcome Trudeau’s liberal Canada. I don’t know why anyone would expect different from that drug addict… VenezuelaNorth

If people think it’s bad now wait till the tsunami of immigration to hit the city’s.

Everybody who's not wealthy .. that's what happens when you at the bottom ... life isn't easy 😕 😪 😞

Especially when there is a shortage of available apartments landlords will look at what income the potential renter has. It is not fair though.

I have no sympathy for single mothers

Probably cause she’s Canadian do u know how many immigrants have the housing market and that they don’t rent to Canadians only their own race?

As a landlord year before, I will never never never rent my house out due to overprotection to tenants by LTB currently. A uncommon sense law is spoiling the rent market!

I work part time, hubby works full time. we don't use daycare, we don't own a car we just rent them when we need one. live near a plaza for everything we need. we have a 3000 sq foot house 4 beds 4 baths, and live quite well.

Contact our fantastic mayor cause he is on the band wagon with affordable housing ! So people like this women should be first in line or maybe him and Doug Ford could foot the bill for a temporary hotel Who ever voted these clowns in you all now suffer cause of it

I hope she and her children are doing well. Especially this time of the year. I hope they all have a good Christmas

Simple solution don't live in one of the countries most expensive cities if you are a single parent

And could get stabbed on the subway by the 5%

Housing crisis. Housing crisis. Companies were dragging their heels on wages raises pre covid. It's unsustainable now if you earn under 22/hr. Reasonable housing costs would eliminate the pressure most feel due to our of touch pay. Stop letting speculators buy up housing.

Isn't Canada great!

And I need to know this why?

Keep raising those interest rates and it will get worse

Clearly CTV doesn’t know her spending habits that looks like an expensive jacket

My husband and I, both have great jobs full time, barely breaking even each month paying rent, bills and daycare. Not to mention not even grocery shopping every week.... Make that make sense.

Unfortunately this is happening to many people! It isn't just in Toronto but all over the country.

Its a scam so they can get housing & rent subsidies

That’s exactly what I was talking about the city has to leave the homeless shelter.Alone some of them have worked hard and they can’t afford to rent

Not good’ . Time to find a partner to share the costs and also so her child has a father figure in its life! I don’t care what you people think!

Move out of Toronto. It’s a financial wasteland
