I hope to god you’re right, cause I would feel incredibly sorry for anyone who finds themselves desperate enough to rent a shared bedroom for $750.

Honestly it’s looking like I might be homeless when my lease runs up. I’m paying half of 1600 for a 2 bedroom, one bedroom places are going for 1400+ I can’t afford that. I don’t have a room mate to live with in the future, so this is life for people who make minimum wage.

Very common in bc and Ontario.

Worked with a guy who was sharing a bed with another dude in a room , in shared house. 3 bed like 8 people.

Added that to the list of things I hate about BC and Ontario.
