The landlord had told them he wanted to raise the rent to $3,500 and when they complained he decided to raise it to $9,500.

“We know that our building is not rent controlled and this was something we were always worried about happening and there is no way we can afford $9,500 per month," Yumna Farooq said.

    Exactly the same problem in Québec, buildings 5 years or less have no law nor rent control, so it’s free for all for the landlord to raise a rent from 1500$ to 4000$ as he wants.
