how? I'd rather have what we have than none like Alberta. Right now in Alberta, there is a movement to establish rent control.

In my building there are people who have been there for 25-30 years, so AFAIK rent in 1992 was about $600/mo. They are good tenants and have had increases more recently and new tenants will be looking will have to pay at the current market rate, such is life. I know a lot of the renters would be screwed if they had to move out now.
