Guest: Abi Bond, Executive director of Toronto’s Housing Secretariat

Rents are rising at record rates across the country. While the pandemic brought rent costs down and created higher vacancies, now the rental market is surging because there is a lack of supply. Landlords are also using tactics like renovictions to get tenants out. The City of Toronto recently tabled a new report that looks at ways to help renters and fight against renovictions. Toronto’s top housing official joins “This Matters” to talk about how the city is trying to create more affordable housing.
