Discussion $1250 Room For Rent

Welcome to Kamloops - check out this forlorn room for rent for $1250. Note the door crudely mounted in a frame that’s open to the ceiling. It has a TV that’s 6 feet off the ground & perched on a plywood shelf. Most of the furniture is homemade poorly. Metal folding chairs in the ‘kitchen’. Grim, grim times await whoever is desperate enough to rent it.

I am honestly tired of these overprice rent that make no sense

Has a disabled person trying to find an affordable rent, I am bloody tired of Kamloops overpricing rent for no bloody reason. It feel like we need a law to stop this from happening has it just reach the point of using other.

I'm disabled, I haven't tried. I am lucky to be able to live with relatives. I wouldn't be able to afford any of these market rents. The monthly cheque doesn't go that far, unfortunately.
