What the evidence shows
Research cited by PolitiFact estimated an immigration-related rent effect around 4.3%. It did not support attributing a 40% to 50% increase to immigration or the associated claim about empty government-provided housing.
PolitiFact rating: Mostly False. The tracker groups this as Misleading.
