- Increasing revenues
+ increasing rent (2.5% per year/ rent control), introduce new fees ($ to rent common room, garbage
disposal)
- Gentrifying-by-upgrading

, - New and aggressive financialized landlords entered the Toronto market and have adopted 2 major
locational strategies

2) Inner city: gentrifying-by-upgrade
(thus displacing existing tenants)
Gentrification: A process of converting an urban neighborhood from a predominantly low-income
renter-occupied area to a predominantly middle-class/higher owner-occupied area.
Pros of Gentrification: 1) A more esthetically appealing neighborhood
2) Increased public safety
3) Increasing land values
4) Decreased crime rates
5) Decreasing urban sprawl
6) Increasing options for food, retail outlets, and job
Cons of Gentrification: 1) Decrease in affordable housing
2) Decrease in affordable retail spaces
3) Increased policing of communities of color
4) Changes in the culture of the neighborhood
