yeah rent is sky high and most provinces that had rent increase controls got rid of them, it just blows my mind how all over the place some places are valued, not to mention good luck renting if you have pets. Most common reason for surrendering to shelters here is because they couldn't find a place to live with the pet. I know there is added cost, but I feel like there should be a limit per X area on how many pet free rentals there can be, just charge more for a pet deposit.
