Making Rent Control Work 41:30

hace 3 years41:30

41:30

Prince Edward Island, unlike other provinces, has unit-based rent control, with rent being tied to the units instead of the tenant. However, there is no formal mechanism to know what rent was paid by a previous tenant, despite a provincial bill passed to establish one in 2019. Join Cynthia Belaskie and Robbie Brydon as they talk to Darcie Lanthier, a member of the Green Party of Canada and an advocate of rent control. Darcie founded My Old Apartment to help past tenants tell current tenants what the legal maximum rent should be. In less than a year they added 10% of all apartments in Charlottetown to the registry and have helped tenants get back money - up to $20,000 - that was charged above that maximum. Tune in as Darcie discusses the importance of rent control and advocates for tenants on the housing market. Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share! https://mihe.mcmaster.ca/…

Preventing Evictions in Community Housing With Damian Collins 42:04

hace 4 years42:04

One of the main goals of community housing is to provide more affordable homes for those in need and, ultimately, to help them keep those homes. But what happens when people struggle to maintain tenancy in the community housing sector? In today’s episode, Cynthia Belaskie and Robbie Brydon are joined by Dr. Damian Collins of the University of Alberta. Damian is involved in research with Community Housing Canada and recently published the article, “When We Do Evict Them, It’s a Last Resort”: Eviction Prevention in Social and Affordable Housing . He discusses various eviction prevention strategies and draws some comparisons between what’s at stake in the community housing sector versus the private sector when it comes to being evicted. He also breaks down six major challenges the community housing sector faces that his team's research will be tackling. Join their discussion as Damian explores the importance of housing not only for those in need but in the development of society at large. Love the show?

What Can We Learn from the BC Basic Income Panel? With Lindsay Tedds 34:38

hace 4 years34:38

The BC Expert Panel on Basic Income did not recommend a broad basic income for that province, but did recommend three targeted basic incomes (for people with disabilities, youth aging out of care and renters) . Dr. Lindsay Tedds , one of the members of the panel, joins Robbie Brydon and Cynthia Belaskie to discuss what they recommended, why they recommended it and the evidence behind several of their recommendations. Could any province implement a basic income or would it require the federal government? Do asset tests provide a gatekeeping function or just cause people in need to burn through what resources they have? Dr. Tedds tackles these questions and many more. Love the show?
