Episode 5 - March 30

Last week the provincial government announced emergency renter and landlord supports, including a temporary rental supplement, a near moratorium on evictions and a rent freeze. While this is good news, the reality is, renters won't have access to the (up to) $500 supplement by the time rent is due.
