Pfft, in Peel you have a higher chance of winning the lottery than getting a place.

yeah Nef's Right, when I was work at Tim's, I was making just under $10 and it was hard then too, and in Brampton it's more so worse to find a place as a tiny one bedroom in the $600 a month range usually an illegal basement appartment with usually no parking space, dealing with crooked indian landlords, plus you have to pay for 50% or more for the utilitys (not including your own phone cable & internet), be a non-smoker, forbidden from owning any pets, plus credit checks, and most would lock you out of your appartment if you were 5 days or more late with all the rent.
