When the lease term ends and the tenancy becomes to month-to-month, then you can submit for a rent increase per allowable annual increase.

I know someone who lives in a condo but keeps their pretty expensive ATV & Sled in a storage unit. They're total losers, I guess.

If they never use them, then yea probably.

That’s a little different obviously.

Oh I see, so it's not an ignorant blanket statement then.

What’s the over/under of storage units filled with shit VS actual useable items like that?

7/10? 8/10?

If you live in a older condo like me with lower income demographics it's 7/10 with shit, maybe even 8/10, majority boxes for old appliances.

When I lived at a luxury condo in Brentwood it was like 8/10 filled with winter tires, snowboard/skiis, vacuum, or a full on pantry full of cleaning supplies + toilet paper + bounty rolls.

I’m not talking about a storage unit included in your building, that’s yours to do whatever you wish with, it’s basically just another closet.

I’m talking about purchasing storage as a storage facility

Hmmm. Is this type of studio living going to become more common?

Movable partitions in a one room living space with two toilets.

"Modal Living". :considered:

Your thoughts on this approved strata development in east Van? East Hastings and Victoria Dr.

https://vancouver.citynews.ca/2023/0...-small-spaces/

Is it a creative solution for small-space living in Vancouver? Or is it just weird?

A strata development conditionally approved near East Hastings and Victoria includes some 400-square-foot studios designed for “modal living,” including movable partitions in the one-room living space and two toilets in the bathroom.


So, how many people are meant to fit into these units? That might depend on how comfortable you are with the toilet situation, as the plans show them separated by a glass shower.

When the proposal for 1943 East Hastings Street went before the city’s Urban Design Panel for review last October, some panelists wondered about the limits of livability in a small, partitioned space, including Peeroj Thakre.

“The unit has no enclosed bedroom — maybe they suggest there is some kind of foldable walls in there — I mean, it’s still essentially a studio with two toilets. I just can’t imagine why.”

Panelist Geoff Lister also couldn’t get past the two-toilet solution in his comments to the developer.

Certainly no one is ever going to use both at the same time, which is the point of two toilets. So, think about that for a really long time before you build a building that has two toilets separated by a glass wall,” he added.

The developer defended the two-toilet floorplan, and modal living overall, saying it is not a marketing trick or a gimmick.

“It’s something that people are truly focusing on and seeing opportunity and taking advantage of in the market. I think we will continue to see these types of efforts to try to find ways to get more utility out of less space,” said John Stovell, President of Reliance Properties.

Project Architect Adrian Politano at BOP Architects says the studios were designed to be flexible.

“The developer, over many years, has been developing unique ways of dealing with some of the smaller spaces,” he told CityNews. “They’ve used this sort of thinking in several of their projects and several different suite types … that have apparently sold very well.

Again, people living in free modular housing living better than the people paying to live here.

I don't understand the 2 toilet thing. Ppl have long survived with a whole family sharing one toilet in one washroom. Why do you need two thrones in a studio.

The one comment about just trying get roasted and get publicity gets my vote.

two toilets in one bathroom? you just sunk my battleshit!

it's obviously for people like North Van's Emily Yu to put in 4 bunk beds to rent out

Clearly, you guys never had to wait for the only toilet to be free while holding your pee or shit in. Lol

Looking at the floorplan it looks like the toilets are in different rooms.

They could have made one a urinal.

There’s never gonna be more than 2 people in your 300sq ft 2 toilet home

Happens all the time in the space we are living in right now

Not even 5 minutes in before dropping a deuce, my kids are pounding on the door wanting to use the washroom too.:fuuuuu:

well if not new housing (modular or not), there will be outrage for housing people in old/unsuitable SRO's, and if you don't house people, they'll be in tent cities taking up park space or streets on the DTES, and people will be outraged

can't win ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

in all serious though, not sure what the solution is going to be, it's probably a myriad of things that have to happen concurrently over a very long period of time to fix housing ...

Rate announcement coming next Wednesday.

Here’s to another hike! Enjoy everyone

Talking about multi-family units... this house has:
- 3 or 4 bedrooms for the main unit
- 2 or 1 bedroom basement suite
- Another 1 bedroom basement suite
- A 2 bedroom laneway home

Such a weird lot surprised they built that much on it, but perfect for car hoarding/ used car dealership

Whew, just renewed yesterday.

There's at least #1 benefit to having a decent sized yard :P

Would you be able to share your rate?
