Thank you!

Should have added: Since Apr 2023, leases are now required to contain info on how much rent the most recent previous tenant paid.

Illegal rent increases that were/are unaccounted for or uncorrected still places tenants in the position of needing to validate the amount of rent they currently pay.

Happy Sunday - here‘s a new mini abstract 🎨 🤗

Look at that lime!!

Quebec's housing tribunal rules no-pet clause in rental lease violates Charter rights | CBC News A recent ruling by Quebec’s housing tribunal has found the no-pet clause of a rental lease to be in violation of the province's Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms.

This is so lovely!

Even in a jurisdiction with strong legislation, the power dynamic very much impedes the enforcement and application of unit-based rent control.

Even when a past tenant can readily provide them with this proof, current tenants would sometimes rather overpay by hundreds of dollars than dispute the overpayment/illegal rent.

Because staying housed takes precedence over (likely) upsetting a LL and dealing with that fallout.

To file that form, they need to know how much a previous tenant at some other point in time paid for that exact unit (with proof).

One of the more discouraging parts of living in a province (PEI) with unit-based rent control:

Enforcement relies on existing tenants filing a form for the potential to have overpaid rent returned to them + have rent for their unit be lowered to the legal amount.

I’ve reached the end of this sketchbook for mini abstract paintings! Very cool to flip through them all 😊

Onto a new sketchbook 👀🎨

Many thanks to SMU Research News for featuring this story!

Thankful (in a weird way) that I learned this lesson early as an undergrad when a group stats assignment didn’t save properly and I had to re-write half of it from memory within 30 min window before class lol I cried the whole time!

Some pieces from the last few weeks 🤗 🎨

Don’t know how we’re mid-December, but here’s another abstract 🎨
