If it's anything like my small Canadian province rents are astronomical for a small quite town. Often $1,200 for a one bedroom apartment. We're a tourist town and many homes have been bought up by people running short term rental or STR. There was a town meeting and one owner of several buildings called in to complain that any regulation would hurt her business. She was calling while on vacation at Lake Como Italy. The sense of entitlement was thick. Many so-called "reno-victions" are common. Oh that wall needs paint? Gotta evict you with 14 days notice. Good luck finding anywhere else to live since it's a 0.1% vacancy rate on a good day 0% most. There's no damn breakfast either since there's no owner there it's just a way to get around paying the taxes that hotels do.
