Where I live, that would be pretty much 100% of landlords.

The last time rent on an average 2bdrm apartment was only three times the income of the average-income married couple was back in the 90s. Now it’s more like 50% of their monthly pre-tax income. Or something like 65-70% their post-tax income. For single people who don’t want roommates it’s even worse.

The Canadian housing situation makes the American one look like the bottoming-out of a housing crash.
