Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: Why Your Rental Isn’t Renting. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar. Vacancy rates are rising across parts of Canada, and many Landlords are finding that units which would have rented in days a year ago are now sitting vacant for weeks with little interest. But in many cases, the issue is not simply a lack of renters. Today’s Tenants have more options, higher expec...

TONIGHT ON KAYLA UNFILTERED

“Property Taxes, Housing Costs & Who’s Really Paying the Price?”
LIVE tonight with special guest John Waylett, President of the Property Taxpayers Alliance.

Property taxes across Ontario continue to rise year after year - but are services actually improving? And how are these rising municipal costs impacting landlords, tenants, homeowners, and housing affordability as a whole?

Tonight, Kayla sits down with John to have a real, unfiltered conversation about:

Why property taxes keep rising faster than inflation.

How municipal spending affects rents and housing affordability.

Whether Ontario cities have a spending problem.

“Growth should pay for growth” - what does that actually mean?

Municipal accountability, transparency, and taxpayer frustration.

The connection between taxes, homelessness, and the housing crisis.

Why so many Ontarians feel financially squeezed.

This isn’t just a landlord issue anymore.
This is an Ontario affordability issue.

John Waylett is a retired professional engineer, business executive, and long-time advocate for municipal accountability who founded the Property Taxpayers Alliance after analyzing rising property taxes and municipal spending trends across Ontario.

THIS IS HUGE 👏🔥

Awesome news coming out of London, Ontario today!!

City of London Susan Stevenson, Ward 4 Councillor has officially joined the race to become London’s next Mayor, and our housing community needs to rally behind Susan.

Susan has been vocal about transparency, accountability, affordability, safer communities, and concerns over rising taxes and city spending. Whether people agree with her or not, one thing is clear - she is not afraid to speak up and challenge the status quo.

After serving on council since 2022, Susan says Londoners are looking for bold and courageous leadership, and she believes the results of the last few years at city hall speak for themselves.

I can tell you right now, I plan on door knocking for Susan and also for Helen Shwery , who has officially put her name back in the hat for Cambridge Ward 1 👏

I’ll have more candidates I plan to endorse at a later date, but these two amazing women are absolutely needed right now in my books. Strong voices. Strong women. And willing to stand up even when it’s not easy.

Municipal politics matter more than people realize. These decisions directly impact housing, affordability, taxes, landlords, tenants, businesses, and everyday families.

Big months ahead 👀

Ontario landlords 📣this is exactly why local landlord associations matter. 👏

I talk to housing providers every single day who are frustrated, burnt out, and feeling like nobody is listening while the rules keep changing, costs keep rising, and the pressure keeps getting heavier.

That’s why I’m looking forward to heading to Cornwall on June 15th to connect with the Stormont, Dundas & Glengarry Landlords Association (SD&G).

These associations matter more than people realize. They bring landlords together, create conversations that need to happen, support housing providers, and help push for real change in this industry.

A lot of landlords say:
“Something needs to change.”

But change starts when people actually get involved.

Show up.
Network.
Ask questions.
Share experiences.
Support one another.

Because the stronger the association, the stronger the voice. 🔥

And if you’ve never attended before, this is your chance. First-time guests can attend FREE, so come check it out.

And if you can’t make it out in person, please consider becoming a member to help support the important work this association is doing for housing providers in the region…. Just 75 dollars for the year!

Strong associations need strong membership, and every member helps give landlords a bigger voice. 👏

Whether you own one property or one hundred, your experiences and your voice matter.

Huge credit to Cheryl McDonald and everyone involved with SD&G for continuing to build and support the landlord community in their region. We need more of this across Ontario.

📅 June 15th
⏰ 7PM EST
📍 Best Western, 1515 Vincent Massey Dr, Cornwall, ON K6H 5R6, Canada

🔗Register Here For June 15 : https://www.sdglandlord.ca/event-details-registration/general-meeting-june-15-2026

Join the association: https://www.sdglandlord.ca/member-benefits

Let’s fill the room and have the conversations that matter.

📋 Tenant screening mistakes that cost landlords thousands
📈 How to stay profitable in a system that keeps tightening
