Opposition Day Motion #4
To be debated: Monday, April 24th
 
Whereas there is a cost of living crisis in Ontario; and
 
Whereas the cost of rent has increased to more than 50% of the take-home income for many Ontario households; and
 
Whereas the removal of all rent control from homes first occupied after 2018 has exposed tenants to unaffordable double-digit rent increases; and
 
Whereas the ability to increase rent between tenancies accelerates the rising cost of rent and incentivizes illegal evictions; and
 
Whereas housing is a human right;
 
Therefore, the Legislative Assembly calls on the government to implement rent control on all units, including between tenancies.
