But even richer tenants will be getting a break under the Social Housing Developments plan.

It announced last month, when it purchased the Elara at the Market, that all rents will be frozen for two years and that utility charges will also be eliminated.

Affholter said the plan is helping the wrong people.

"Freezing rents for all existing tenants may also provide benefits to some households that do not face significant financial hardship, while doing little to expand access to those who are struggling most," he said.

So, peeps who can afford $3,000 in rent a month get a rent freeze and no utilities … and … won’t be required to move

Smh
