In today's episode, John talks to Murtaza Haider about rent controls in Canada and their potential impact on rental supply. Murtaza is a professor of Data Science and Real Estate Management at Toronto Metropolitan University.   In the lively chat, we discuss why Ontario has seen very little growth in rental housing even though the new rental supply is not rent controlled. We also discuss the differences in approach to rental housing between North American and European economists and governments. North Americans lean more towards a free market approach to rental housing, while Europeans have coupled adequate rental supply while maintaining policies that protect tenants.    Today's show links:  Watch this episode on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/movesmartly Ricardo Tranjan in the Toronto Star: https://www.thestar.com/opinion/contributors/rent-controls-work-they-don-t-reduce-housing-supply-but-they-do-limit-profit/article_77ca720a-dfd5-11ee-982b-3ba3433ea220.html Murtaza Haider in the Financial Post: https://financialpost.com/real-estate/rent-controls-hurt-rental-supply Rent Controls, Rental Prices and Rental Supply - CMHC Summary https://tinyurl.com/2efscwuw Study of the Impacts of Rent Control Policies - CMHC Report https://tinyurl.com/458svhzj Follow Murtaza Haider on Twitter: @regionomics   Contact Us John Pasalis, President and Broker, Realosophy Realty, Toronto | Email: [email protected] | Twitter: @JohnPasalis Urmi Desai, Editor/Host, Move Smartly | Email: [email protected] | X-Twitter: @MoveSmartly About This Show The Move Smartly show is co-hosted by Urmi Desai, Editor of Move Smartly, and John Pasalis, President and Broker of Realosophy Realty.
