👉Rental rates in Halifax are climbing faster than the national average, with a one-bedroom apartment costing $2,050, a 10% increase from last year, and two-bedroom units rising 18.2% to $2,669. Despite record housing developments, the city's 1% vacancy rate and strong interprovincial migration are driving demand. Students like Shamar Bennett are shocked by the high prices, paying $1,200 each for a room. While the national rent growth has slowed, Halifax continues to face significant pressure due to its growing population. The Halifax Regional Municipality needs to build 7,000 new units annually to meet demand.✅ . 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐚 𝐕𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞, 𝐎𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐨'𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭.

👉A seemingly affordable $430/month apartment in Waterloo's University District turns out to be a room-sharing nightmare, with one bedroom housing four people. Outrage sparked online, highlighting the struggle of students to find affordable housing. Katie Traynor, VP of Waterloo Undergraduate Student Association (WUSA), underscores the challenge students face in navigating the region's housing market. WUSA responds by launching the WUSA Housing Playbook, an online guide offering tips on leases, tenants' and landlords' rights, and support resources. The initiative aims to assist not just students but also the wider community.✅ . 𝐍𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐊𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐥, 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐆𝐓𝐀 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐨𝐫.
