Our landlord just raised our rent $1000/month. I need advice. My wife is pregnant with our second child, i just had surgery on 3 hernias, so while im off healing my wage is cut to 55%. We have never missed rent and always fixed anything that needed done myself. We live in Alberta Canada. We dont know what to do. We are struggling just to provide the necessities, and now this crazy increase to our rent. Can anyone help me with advice? What if any recourse do we have here. In my opinion this is a delberate attack on the family. And what makes it hurt more is our landlord is a "new" canadian. I have called our M.L.A. and was told that maybe we will have to find somewhere to live thats more affordable. No shit sherlock. What great advice. Im just at my wits end here and dont know what to do. I just cant beleive a person would be that greedy. We where already paying $2300/ month. Rhis has really out my family in a bad position. I cant believe this is still Canada.
