Are financial landlords reshaping Toronto's rental market and driving evictions?

from This Matters · host Toronto Star

Guest: Manuela Vega, Toronto Star housing reporter A new study has found that financial landlords are filing eviction applications at much higher rates than other types of landlords in Toronto, especially after acquiring new buildings. In one case, more than half the tenants in a building received an eviction notice in a single year. Experts say this reflects a wider business strategy and it's reshaping the rental market, raising concerns about affordability, and who gets access to housing in this city. On today's episode, we unpack the numbers, what the study reveals and its implications. This episode was produced by Paulo Marques
