  • As the cost of rent rises across Canada, a new report from Rentals.ca suggests Alberta's biggest cities are leading the pack. For the second month in a row, Edmonton has seen the highest levels of rent inflation among major Canadian municipalities, with Calgary posting the second-highest rate. CBC’s Emily Fitzpatrick takes a look at what's behind the surge.

      The most disgusting thing is the exorbitant rise in rents and housing prices since covid. Pure greed in my opinion. Before was bad and we need mass public housing for even the middle class for sure to compete to lower prices against private units, but, rents and property prices need to start plumetting to pre covid levels just for a start. Dont give in, keep pressing the market down, we need to be able to afford to eat and have reasonable lives. We cannot sustain the economy off a poverty stricken middle class. Just my opinion.

    Rent is only affordable when you can afford to pay it without cutting back on groceries etc. Even groceries aren't affordable. People who make $5000/month for them rent is affordable. People who make $1500/month. Rent is definitely not affordable. While the government thinks it's doable. Maybe the government should try living for $1500/month to say really how affordable is it?!

      Yea I don't think expecting people to live off of $1500 is realitic unless they're living at home. If you want to be able to support yourself you need to be full time even if it's as a cashier. Even minimum wage is $2600 per month and take home won't be a ton lower as you barely get anything taken off at that income level.

    Man, in 2006 I paid $450 a month for a bachelor suite with a river valley view, all utilities included. I lived on Bellamy hill and I never felt unsafe, even the drug dealers that hung out on the stairs were polite and sometimes helped me down the stairs when it was icy. Now that area is very bad I heard which is unfortunate because I lived living there. That same apartment is almost $900 now and no utilities included. It’s insane how times have changed. Take me back to the days when public transit was safe and $12 an hour was enough to survive on

      Welcome to Canada, Alberta is last; or close, but Angervatives begged Canadians to move here. P.S. They're mostly not angervatives so relying on oil & God may be coming to an end. But, it would also mean taxes, plus enforcing "laws" without media forcing aforementioned laws. I'm talking traffic, noise, etc. Not encampments no Canadian party has a fix for. I'm disabled & poor, but asylums should be brought back. With more oversight. Won't be perfect, & may affect me, but police not being able to enforce laws is dumber than my 8 proven things wrong via health-scare Canada; so, I have 20. ;)

    Here in Alberta, the tenancy agreement has no capping to rent increases during renewal. Also, the tenancy laws are followed according to the Landlords wish. We don't have much options since overall, the rent is lower than other provinces. We just have to deal with it unless Government takes some effort to make changes to the tenancy agreement. The only thing I learnt as a tenant was that if you are honest & pay your rents on time, take good care of the property etc, you get screwed more by Landlord since they will take advantages on good tenants. Be careful when you sign tenancy agreement & ensure the finer details are clearly understood.

    Multiple factors are the culprit !! There is no one size fits all solution - You Got the Federal government shoving Millions $$$ down provinces throats & is pleading for more housing and giving extra funding to transit & infrastructure to those that increase building - The Conservatives have a similar approach but kinda opposite by wanting to withhold funds for Transit & Infrastructure to those that don't pass building permits. So the money is there BUT the Provincial governments down to City level won't cut the Red tape & refuse to pass permits for Multiple units in one plot of land & rezoning issues they wont compromise on. AIRBNB although recently dealt with was a big contributor as well as International Students visas too many approved on top of regular skills/trade Visas. All those combined along with Covid & Inflation play individual parts in what is happening now.

    All of Canada is flocking to alberta because we were the more affordable option. But those same people are the ones that cause the prices of rental and homes skyrocket. This is not new. Those of us born and raised in alberta have seen this happen every single time a boom hits causing a population boom. Luckily when the rats abandoned ship and go back to their original province (because a huge % typically do when the economy busts inevitably) the housing market and rental market also tend to drastically drop. That's exactly how I managed to buy my home

    Be clear with landlords you need to able to afford to live. If enough of you do it, rents will eventually become affordable again. And landlords will learn that stable tenants with reasonable rents are much safer and less hassle than always chasing new tenants who leave quickly for other options. Landlords. I know things cost money, but you bought the house, its not the tenants jobs to bail you out. They have lives too.

And why are we treating people who bought houses as a business decision for renting as regular homeowners? That is the homeowner's not tenant's responsibility in my opinion. Maybe the banks need to be more flexible on giving them time to pay, but homeowners can do other things, like taking on another real job, instead of passing the buck to tenants who are barely surviving. That is not right, renting is not supposed to be a poverty trap, its a place for one to help build for their future while providing a little bit of extra income to the landlord.Just my opinion again.
