Stupid HST!

[mr_marlboro]

My rent is going to go up in January by $8 per month.   I don't pay for electric, heat or water by my rent is going up and I bet its cause of the stupid HST!

I live in city housing at Baldwin and Henry (i.e. public housing) so my rent isn't that bad but its still more money.   The economy is bad yet the poor are being punished again and again.

i am one of the luckier ones and it won't really affect me. however, i just think its going to be very hard for families to pay for all the rising costs these days.

my apartment rent went up by $20. $8 is really not so bad. And I bet its not just the HST, Landlord in Ontario can raise the rent a bit each year and most do, every year.

HST only really affects commercial property like in the commercial space I rent, my rent went up by $300 a month and we had to pay $1200 in retropayments for the 2010 tax year so no wonder so many places are closing down.
