BURLINGTON, ON

We published a piece earlier today about rent increases that are now at double digit level

We also published a piece on the terribly insensitive remarks made by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing on funding made available to the Landlord and Tenant tribunals.

This time the story is about a small family run Vietnamese restaurant on the west side of Brant south of Caroline that decided to close when a rent increase was more than they could manage.

These are tough times indeed.

The smaller, family owned independent commercial locations are taking the hard hits as well. The larger corporate chains that are part of the hospitality sector are raising prices.
