Letter to the editor: Local rents are being jacked sky high

As a mother of three children trying to find an apartment or house at a reasonable price for my family of five, is physically impossible!

Affordable housing is a big issue in this area.

I am writing this today to bring forward a massive issue in North Bay.

As we all know, there is a lack of affordable housing in this city. How are people supposed to live when people are jacking the rent sky high!

Also, I want to bring forward the issue of people asking for credit checks for someone to live! It is really unbelievable. How are people able to do this with credit that really isn't that good! I think this is just unreasonable.

As a mother of three children trying to find an apartment or house at a reasonable price for my family of five, is physically impossible!

The city should invest in more geared-to-income housing. The city should put their money into building more affordable housing for people like me. It is a struggle trying to find a reasonably priced home!

I get homelessness is a huge issue as well and they are working on more affordable housing for them.

Thank you!
