TORONTO STAR
About this episode

"This Matters" would like to share an episode of the third season of the Toronto Star podcast "Millennial Money." The show includes millennials speaking about relatable financial dilemmas that are often taboo or embarrassing but that many are grappling with behind closed doors.

jes sachse has been fighting an eviction for about two years. And they’re not alone. As rent and property prices soar, eviction is a threat for many Torontonians.

Geordie Dent, executive director of the Federation of Metro Tenants Associations, lays out your options when you’re faced with an eviction. We also explore the potential financial implications of complying with an eviction notice, or fighting it. 

This episode was produced by Ghada Alsharif, Julia De Laurentiis Johnston, Sean Pattendon, Kevin Sexton and Andrea Varsany.
