安省自由黨出台住房計劃，向炒地投機者發出警告
安省自由黨將為所有租戶恢復租金控制
道格·福特四年前故意誤導租房者，幫助保守黨富有的房主捐款者盤滿缽滿
士嘉堡——安省自由黨領袖鄧德華（Steven Del Duca）宣布，安省自由黨執政的政府將恢復租金控制，適用於安省所有的建築，以幫助保護那些被道格·福特和他的保守黨四年來一直忽視的人們。
“在上次選舉中，道格·福特(Doug Ford)違背了他對安大略租戶的所有承諾。他說他會保護租金控制並‘維持現狀’，但他卻出爾反爾取消了租金控制，讓富有的房主捐贈者可以隨心所欲地抬高租金，”鄧德華表示。“這樣做不誠實，沒有別的解釋。他讓最需要保護的人遭遇租金暴漲。”
在他當選後不久，道格·福特撤銷了所有新建築的租金控制，造成了一個兩級化的租房市場，一些人在租金方面受到保護，而許多人是零保護，面臨兩位數的租金上漲。兩個月前，有些安大略省夫婦報告說租金每月上漲500元。安省自由黨將結束這種情況，將租金控制帶回安大略省的所有家庭，並為租房者提供亟需的穩定性。
鄧德華表示："安大略省的許多人仍在為過去兩年的混亂和困惑所傷害。老年人無法支付他們的租金在沒有保護的情況下暴漲。安省自由黨將確保安省的每一個出租單元的租金都受到保護，房東不能隨心所欲地抬高租金。在真正的租金保護和更多的福特謊言之間，安省民眾有一個明確的選擇。"
安省自由黨計劃將在未來 10 年內增加 150 萬套新住房，包括真正的可負擔住房，例如為最需要的人提供新的社會和支持性住房。為了幫助加快房屋建設步伐，自由黨計劃將創建一個新的安大略房屋建築公司 (Ontario Home Building Corporation , OHBC)，以融資並建造新的可負擔住房，重點放在幫助首次購房者。安省自由黨還將為租房者提供獲得擁有房屋的途徑，創建一個法律框架，為業主和租房者選擇簽訂“先租后買”協議，為他們提供保護和確定性。
道格福特在 2018 年大選期間：“我聽取了人民的意見，我不會剝奪任何人的租金控制權。就是這樣。在租金控制方面，我們將維持現狀。”

Ontario Liberals will bring back rent control for everyone
Doug Ford deliberately misled tenants four years ago, helping line pockets of the Conservatives’ wealthy landlord donors
SCARBOROUGH – Steven Del Duca announced that an Ontario Liberal government will bring back rent control for every building in Ontario, helping protect the very people Doug Ford and his Conservatives have spent four years ignoring.
“In the last election, Doug Ford broke every promise he made to Ontario tenants. He said he would protect rent control and “maintain the status quo”, instead he gutted rent control allowing his wealthy landlord donors to jack rents up as much as they want,” said Del Duca. “It was dishonest. There’s no other way to put it. He’s left the people that need protection most to suffer skyrocketing rents.”
Shortly after he was elected, Doug Ford cut rent control for all new buildings, creating a two-tiered rental market where some are protected, and many are left with zero protection from rent and facing double digit rent hikes. Two months ago, some Ontario couples were reporting rent increases of $500 per month. Ontario Liberals will end this, bringing back rent control to all homes across Ontario and providing much-needed stability to renters.
“So many people in Ontario are still hurting from the last two years of chaos and confusion. Seniors can’t afford to see their rents skyrocket with no protection,” said Del Duca. “Ontario Liberals will ensure every rental unit in Ontario has protected rents that landlords can’t jack up as much as they want. Ontarians have a clear choice between real rent protections and more Ford lies.”
The Ontario Liberal plan will add 1.5 million new homes over the next 10 years, including truly affordable homes like new social and supportive housing for people who need it. To help double the pace of homebuilding, the Liberal plan will create a new Ontario Home Building Corporation (OHBC) to finance and build new, affordable homes with a focus on helping first-time homebuyers. Ontario Liberals will also provide renters with a pathway to home ownership, creating a legal framework that provides protections and certainty for owners and renters to opt into rent-to-own agreements.
Doug Ford during the 2018 Election: "I have listened to the people, and I won't take rent control away from anyone. Period. When it comes to rent control, we're going to maintain the status quo."
