A CTV Vancouver undercover investigation has uncovered some startling truths.
There are landlords in Vancouver willing to forgo rent in exchange for sex. And there are women desperate enough for accommodations to say yes.
Several dozen online ads offer female tenants free lodging in exchange for sex.
One such ad seeks a "sexy slut." Another offers free rent in exchange for "light housekeeping and other personal services."
A hidden-camera investigation showed several landlords making sexual propositions to the female reporter.
“I’m outraged. I’m disgusted,” said Louisa Russell of Vancouver Rape Relief & Women's Shelter.
She said rent in Vancouver is so high some women have little choice but to make alternative arrangements.
The median price for a one-bedroom apartment in Vancouver is estimated at $1,700 a month. The vacancy rate is about 0.6 per cent.
The CTV undercover reporter met with several landlords. One, whose ad offered a "free room share for a nice, clean person," admitted it was actually a "bed share."
While the practice is illegal, Vancouver police said the issue is not a priority because those involved are consenting adults.
