Will tying Canadians’ rent to credit scores help amid housing crunch?
Description
April 2, 2024
The federal government has proposed making on-time rental payments count towards your credit score, as part of a host of measures that will be in the upcoming budget. They say the move is aimed at protecting renters and helping some access the housing market sooner. Sean Previl reports on why some are applauding the measures, some are concerned if it will help at all, and what advocates and credit bureaus still want to see from Ottawa.
