Rehan Chaudary is the owner and manager of the hotel. He flatly denied that the arrival of Syrian refugees has anything to do with Fulton and other long-term tenants being asked to leave

Bullshit. I'll guarantee he's getting more money from the government for the 'refugees'.

As far as Fulton goes, well he's a citizen, so no one gives a crap about him.

COSTI Immigration Services was contracted by the government to sort out temporary accommodations for newly arrived refugees in the GTA. Mary Celluci, COSTI spokesperson, said the group booked 150 rooms in the hotel back in December. She said they “didn’t expect” that anyone would be inconvenienced by the refugees’ arrival.

Translation: She doesn't give a fuck.

Yes, yes, your heart bleeds for this guy collecting welfare. If this wasn't about the Syrians you'd be spitting on him.

If he can afford $1200/mo. rent, welfare must be pretty generous in Ontario. Here in the Lower Mainland, with our high rents, he could certainly find permanent accommodation in the suburbs for less than that.

There was another article about people being evicted from a long stay hotel. Is this the same hotel or even the same city?

Not sure if this is in the same area you live andyt but any idea what the rent on an apartment would be? I looked into a long stay hotel before and it ends up costing more then to rent some apartments here in Austin. Not all mind you some apartments are so freaking expensive at the moment that they make a long stay hotel like the above look dirt cheap.

I'm just wondering if this guy might not be better off renting an apartment. It all comes down to the price of rent in the area.

This guy looks like someone who actually needs it. What pisses me off is that the Syrians will be getting welfare and a place to live while this guy ends up on the curb.

while this guy ends up on the curb.

German papers are chock full of stories of people on assistance getting booted
in favour of the illegals.

In Sweden, they are even stealing residence places from university students to make
room, and also taking places in the old age homes, with the resulting assaults and thefts
that no one is allowed to talk about.

Now there is good planning for the future.

Oh yeah, like fer sure man. The dude recently suffered a heart attack. What a lazy bastard.

No, it's not. You'll notice he's living with his g/f and her kid. In Ontario that means they're married as far as the govt is concerned. Based on the figures welfare pays for one adult with one child and two adults with two children, I'd hazard a guess they're receiving between $1000-$1200/mo for three people. A single person with no kids gets around $700/mo.

All this talk of eviction brings back some bitter memories for Andy. He hasn't forgiven Gruff Bros. Inc. for the way they treated him.

Dear Canadian citizen,

Fuck you. And if you complain it means you're a racist.

That pretty much answers the questions I had previously asked.

He still wouldn't be able to afford $1200 a month rent on that income. Possibly he gets more for being disabled. I understand people living in SRO hotels who can't afford any more rent, ie the bottom of the ladder. But the rent this guy is paying should certainly get him a basement suite somewhere, probably for less. I doubt if rents are higher in TO than Vancouver. Living in a hotel when you don't have to doesn't make much sense.

In Toronto, $1200/mo rent is cheap. A one bedroom apartment in the city center will run you anywhere from $1200-$1750 with the average being around $1500/mo. Outside of the city center you're still looking at an average of $1140/mo for a one bedroom.

[andyt]

Average - but he could look at places below average. And don't they have people renting out their basements in Toronto? Think about it - where do the individuals who only get $700 a month go? There must be cheaper accommodation than a 1200 a month hotel room.
