In Toronto a chunk of the rental supply is people buying an “investment” condo they rent out (often at a short term loss). Or in college towns usually owners of student housing units own a house or a few houses. They’re strictly speaking small landlords, but in my experience they’re so much worse to deal with than owners of purpose built rental units.

College town guy here and yeah, they want to rent a room to a foreign student they can rip off for a year.
