CBC's As It Happens has a feature story on Akelius, a Swedish company that's buying up Toronto apartment buildings. The problem is, many of Akelius's properties are home to low-income tenants, who say their new landlord is performing unnecessary upgrades, not fixing problems, and raising rents beyond the allowed amount. Is Akelius trying to squeeze out low-income residents in order to move more affluent tenants in? Listen to the CBC's report. [CBC]
