Landlords aren't being paid. Tenants are feeling squeezed. And the system that's supposed to help is broken (www.cbc.ca)

The long delays in resolving landlord-tenant disputes are worst in Ontario but other provinces are experiencing it as well. Experts say those delays will have an impact on the already-stressed rental market.

or on AirBnB, I've seen a night is ~1/3 of the month rent, so if you can rent your apartment ~3 days a month, it pays the same as a full renter. If your apt is downtown and you can rent it 4-5+ days/month, it's full profit. There's something like 13'000 airbnb in Montréal, most are illegals, and we have thousands of people sleeping in tent outside. System is broken.

Ban AirBNB? Sounds like a pretty simple plan to abolish illegal undocumented hotel rooms.
