    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Landlords of single homes and multi-unit houses, concerned about the impact of children and pets on their properties, seemingly preferred other rental applicants.

    Luckily, we qualified just in time to move into a federally subsidized housing co-operative, and I raised my children to adulthood there.

    Its walls were uninsulated, its windows were still the original single-pane, wavy glass and the basement, with a regularly flooding underground stream, best suited a Stephen King novel.

    A local family owned this building and a number of other rental properties as part of a long-term investment plan.

    A recent email from my landlord advised me the family had sold one of their houses and is looking at selling more next year, starting with ones that “don’t generate sufficient rent.”

    I have to weigh my access to grocery stores and medical assistance as well as the impact of social isolation if I move to the outskirts of town.
