This isn't a price post, or I guess it is sort of, but there's a certain landlord in James Bay who has two buildings, each with 12 units, and he's busy evicting tenants under the "family use" clause, and so far we've found four of the units on AirBNB. He gives tenants the option of a 25 percent rent increase for six months and then another 25 percent increase, or eviction. That's the kind of landlord bullshit that puts people on the streets.
If only there was something the city could do, like, I don't know, perhaps enforcing their land use bylaws with respect to short term rentals. Maybe they're too busy drafting a new regulatory regime to put legitimate operators out of business to tend to such mundane zoning bylaw violations. If we had the addresses we could quickly find out if in fact this is being done and see if the city is willing to do something about it.
As has been mentioned above an RTB dispute over both the rental increase demand and the notice to end tenancy would be quite straightforward.
