A goddamn bachelor suite less than 400 square feet should not be above $700 like goddamn.

I have a basement suite in my mom’s house, I pay $600(we halved costs of utilities, taxes etc my mom owns this house) and it’s over 700 square feet and people wonder why it’s near impossible for single people to live alone.

A 1 bedroom apartment in my city is $800+ and they are often less than 700 square feet. It’s fucking absurd how most people’s income or at least almost half goes to rent.

Sadly my province voted in the Conservatives and we lost what was once a rental cap that prevented landlords from charging whatever, there were rules and regulations that ensured prices remained reasonable per size of units/houses etc etc.

#been looking into places to help my dad but either he moves into a whole new area or he'll have to pay more closer to over 800-900 #at least the units I've looked at seem so much nicer than the dingy flat he had which did need renos #I'm wondering if maybe he got evicted because they do wanna reno and are using his lack of upkeep as an excuse #my dad is 66 like he can't retire but my mom suggested he start using his pension #to help costs etc #I honestly don't know if he'll ever be able to retire #my mom is only well off because her parents were very smart and owned land #so now my mom gets land rent (grandparents were farmers who made smart investments)#so she is partially retired only works maybe 2 days a week
