多市東區某個出租柏文大廈的房東,疑似為了避開省府租金漲幅不能超過1.8%的限制,以裝修房屋為由,迫令租客搬走。 Posted November 11, 2019 多市東區某個出租柏文大廈的房東,疑似為了避開省府租金漲幅不能超過1.8%的限制,以裝修房屋為由,迫令租客搬走。租客不甘屈服舉行抗議示威,獲得當地市議員方卓怡(Paula Fletcher)的鼎力支持。 居住在洛根大街(Logan Avenue)245號的20多戶居民,以及東約克社區的ACORN組織成員一道,昨日中午在所住大廈外舉行抗議示威,抗議大廈的東主藉口要對大廈進行裝修,要把樓內現有的住戶都驅趕出去。 該大廈的東主近期換了新人,而新東主一直試圖要買斷現有租戶的租約卻未能得手,於是想出新招,藉口要對房屋進行裝修,把現有的住戶驅趕出去。 當這些舊住戶都被趕走之後,無論新房東是否真的進行了裝修,在招租新租客時,租金價格都可以成功避開省府的1.8%租金漲幅限制,可以謀取跟多的利潤。 有租客稱,新房東的這個做法,可以使租金價格翻兩番。而被趕走的租戶也會面臨租不起房的困境,因此呼籲多倫多市府和省府出面保護租客的權益,保證多倫多的經濟適用房供應。 多市市議員方卓怡對於新房東的做法斬釘截鐵地稱,「這樣的做法大錯特錯。為什麼?很簡單,假如你家要做裝修,你會不會全家都要搬出去,甚至為此要去另覓住處?除非是徹底的大裝修,否則你都會因陋就簡,繼續住在房子裡面。而現在這個房東只是做一些簡單裝修,就要把租客趕走,這一做法不對。」…
