'This is egregious': Sisters shocked when Toronto landlord raises rent to $9,500 a month
Two sisters were shocked when a Toronto landlord raised their rent by $7,000 per month.
The landlord had told them he wanted to raise the rent to $3,500 and when they complained he decided to raise it to $9,500.
“We know that our building is not rent controlled and this was something we were always worried about happening and there is no way we can afford $9,500 per month," Yumna Farooq said.

Sounds like they're living in a high demand luxury apartment with a great view from the looks of it. Landlord just told em they fucked around and are going to find out now. The price is clearly because they don't want to deal with them anymore.
God damn, no sympathy at all eh? Yes they're yuppies, but you're going to bat for a punitive rent hike because "they probably deserved it" or something like that? That's cold.
These women are losing their home because they argued with a landlord over raising rent. That's some Dickensian shit right there.
