Canada's housing market is so bad, apartments are openly being listed with discounts for sex

[concise]

So Marketplace set out to test whether similar offers were real and what happens when someone responds, looking into 20 such ads found on online platforms like Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace. Half of the ads the team found were overtly solicitous, using phrases like "friends with benefits" and "live-in girlfriend," signalling expectations of sex in exchange for housing. The other half were more covert, hinting at alternative living situations without explicitly mentioning sexual arrangements.


Every inquiry made to the 10 overt ads received a response, with eight responders confirming that they expected sex as payment.

In one case, the person renting their home asked for "a nude picture and age" just for the application.

Another responded saying: "I'm not looking for a girlfriend. Just some fun from time to time when the need arises."

None of the individuals behind the ads identified themselves, and most refused to provide a phone number, preferring to communicate anonymously through the rental platform.

With the move lately with people trying to romanticize living in their vehicles...a good many will see this as a preferable option

Grateful I've never been in a situation where I had to give up my body for a place to lie my head.

This is why Canada needs to be the 51st state. As Americans you won’t have such decadence.

Just put a spy cam in the apartment…the American way!

I'm surprised that they haven't told their universities that large residential igloos and glass domes need to be researched fr fr.

-It's not under threat if you agreed to the shyt before moving in, which these people are clearly doing. Take responsibility. You don't wanna fukk you can ignore the add & move somewhere else.
