Quebec has rent control. So why are apartment prices still soaring? | CBC News

The proposed online rent registry in Quebec aims to protect tenants by making rental prices public, helping to curb rent gouging. Advocates argue it would offer transparency and balance in tenant-landlord relations, particularly in high-demand areas. Critics, including some landlords, worry it may deter investment and complicate property management. The government has not committed to the registry, but discussions continue as housing affordability remains a pressing issue.
