Tenants have their "say"
Toronto slumlords are about to feel more pressure to improve their properties due to tenant reviews. Already feeling pressure from City Hall, slumlords now have to contend with myhood.ca, a new website that gives tenants a public avenue to alert fellow renters of slumlord buildings. Potential renters can read tenant reviews and determine which rental unit is right for them based on the positive and negative ratings submitted by fellow Torontonians.
“Just as Councilor Howard Moscoe’s plan to license Toronto landlords is the political response to slumlords, myhood.ca is the consumer response” said Jeff Hersh, founder of myhood.ca. With many positive reviews, not only does myhood.ca highlight slumlord buildings to potential renters, it also ensures that renters find quality rental units. as well.
Based in Toronto, myhood.ca gives potential renters the ability to search and evaluate apartment reviews and rental listings by Toronto neighbourhoods. In addition, myhood.ca brings together rental listings from online classifieds and property managers, helping renters save time in their search process.
