    oh yeah, judging by the french poster this is montreal. Montreal is an utter shitshow, an acquaintance of mine was the victim of a landlord who only took cash, refused her payment for months, took her and other tenants to court over it, won and made her pay thousands back, she had no warning, no letters and only learned she was supposed to turn up to court days before, meaning she had no lawyers. The reason her subhuman landlord did this? Force his tenants to leave under threat of “justice” to break their contracts and bring in new tenants with higher rents. Mind you this isnt and isolated case, in Montreal you can’t raise rent, so landlords behave like this, because theyre only interested in fucking over people and earning money nothing else. So fuck landlords, and fuck you if you think landlords are necessary or defensible (theyre not)

      Yeah, rent control isn’t the solution people think it is. It turns out markets are high because of demand and supply. Not solely due to greed. What we need is more housing and to delete nimbyism.
