“The Residential Tenancies Board (RTB), the regulator which oversees the rental market, has reorganised the way it registers tenancies.
Publishing the new information last week, it found that the number of landlords and rental properties is apparently rising, rather than falling.
The time involved is small – the new data spans from just the middle of 2023 to the end of the year.
The RTB said that the number of tenancies registered with it during the period (ie, the number of rental properties) rose from just over 213,000 as of the middle of last year to 230,000.
During the same period, the number of registered landlords also grew, going from just under 97,000 to 103,000.”
More than questionable let’s give the guys with literal extortion machines a tax break ,oh there was no exodus of landlords either literally the opposite and the top 11 %of landlords here own over 100 properties each. Scum.
There is no housing crisis in Ba Sing Se
Trying to infer anything from RTB registration data is a waste of time, their data is incomplete and all over the place. Comparing the time period they have in the article, registrations are up. Compare to 2022 instead and they are down 16k. Pick your time period to suit the agenda you want.
The data should hopefully become cleaner over time thanks to the increased registration requirements and the rent tax credit requiring RTB registration and landlord data giving landlords a scare.
More gaslighting, but they were let carry the narrative all of last year without challenge.
