Reply to comment by AhoyGoFuckYourself in What can I do about exorbitant rent increase? I know all municipalities have their own laws regarding rent increase, but who do I contact? by AhoyGoFuckYourself

I saw in another comment that you’re a teacher? I married one so I feel your pain about affordability. We were only able to start really saving when we moved in together and could split bills. We have a kid now and are still renting- been trying to buy a house for almost 3 years. We even have a decent down payment and budget but wow this housing market is awful!

Hang in there!

Yes, the market is rough depending upon the towns you are looking in. If it's your first time buying, be sure to look into the first time home buyer's grant! Can save you on closing costs.
