Two sisters were shocked when a Toronto landlord raised their rent by $7,000 per month.

The landlord had told them he wanted to raise the rent to $3,500 and when they complained he decided to raise it to $9,500.

“We know that our building is not rent controlled and this was something we were always worried about happening and there is no way we can afford $9,500 per month," Yumna Farooq said.

    You wrote it. You can’t re-read it?

    The idea that if there were no landlords you’d be able to afford a house is absurd.

      Where did I say landlords are your friend? You’re not all there mentally are you?
