“Sorry, it’s rented”, new research from the Centre for Equality Rights in Accommodation, reports that tens of thousands of Torontonians – people from racialized communities, people with mental health issues, single parents, people receiving social assistance – face serious discrimination when they try to rent a home, contrary to the Ontario Human Rights Code. “Approximately 1 in 4 households receiving social assistance, South Asian households, and Black lone parents experience moderate to severe discrimination when they inquire about an available apartment – discrimination that would act as a substantial barrier to accessing housing. When the housing seeker has a mental illness, our research finds that more than one third will experience discrimination. These numbers, alone, are cause for concern, but as will be discussed in the report, they may represent the tip of the iceberg.” The report sets out practical recommendations for the Ontario government to lessen discrimination in Toronto’s rental housing sector.
