Local social services board is owed nearly $60K in unpaid rent on some social housing units, up sharply from $48K the year before
Almost $60,000 in unpaid rent is owed to our local Social Services for some of its social housing units, up sharply from the same time last year.
In Q1 2023, just over $46,000 was owing from the Sault Ste. Marie Housing Corporation’s 700-plus rent-geared-to-income units. One year later, that unpaid rent has ballooned to $58,000 — a 25 per cent increase year-over-year. Nadeau told the board the increasing rent arrears figure in the RGI units is attributable to the provincial Landlord and Tenant Board and its backlog in holding eviction hearings.
Nadeau said it currently takes the SSMHC between 12 and 18 months to receive an eviction order from the LTB.
