The bank will not take away your property for a month or two of nonpayment. Good communication with your bank can also have a positive result if you default for a month or two. Please stop spreading disinfo.

​@@JEdwarrdThey'll definitely have it taken and resold within 10 months tho! That's no way to justify what the tenant did.

@@s_hart For years the private sector has fought to keep housing stock low to inflate property value.... and now citizen scammers and just following the private sectors lead. This is the problem with normalized corporate corruption. It creates destabilization in the markets & rewards only a few.

Being a landlord is brutal lol.

How, I guess whoever came up with Tenant rights.

​@@BATDAN_92 Tenants Rights were established to combat all the corruption of landlords... Ironic how landlords always play the victim when Tenant's have historically been treated like trash. Laws are created to respond to social immorality. Lots of social immorality going on with private developers.....

@@JEdwarrd so I can stop paying rent & play the victim, Kool

this is done by socialists

@@BATDAN_92 If we address the normalized corruption in society, we address the reasons people squat. Do you always use a straw man argument to appear like you are knowledgeable when you ignore the premise of the argument?

a lot of people get the consequences of what the idiots do.

@@bobthekobb The banks get away with worse... but it's the people on the lower rung that get all the blame.

You shouldn't blame others for your desperation when they aren't the ones you're paying. That's just a mythos around false morality that has you defending the person who benefits from your issues.

@@zachweyrauch2988the problem is, since there are so many tenants like this, landlords are very selective on who they rent to.

@@bertgummer8125 Have you educated yourself on how to effect a positive change within the housing crisis? This crisis isn't going to fix itself, depending on the same crony system of politicians to fix what they destroyed is like asking an abuser for a life saving hand.

in this case I agree!! I wonder what the "fine" is for changing the lock?? Plus the people in there have no "agreement" with the landlord, so maybe it's fine? Would love to see that one ..

@@toxicslix Let me tell you the only people in Canada it was set up that way is only crown the monarchy thats has power everything goes through them. It was never fair.

Everyone's standards are different. There's a valid reason Vigilantism is illegal in every developed country.

Ironic, when all levels of gov have failed to build proper housing to support our population growth, and private developers and landlords have been given the keys to the kingdom for over 40 yrs. It appears you support " the rules for thee but not for me" philosophy while our country has been robbed blind by corporate interest.

Am.wondering about the LCMS being changed. She mved out, shouldn't be hard to change the lock while pursuing money

the men in power are against house ownership

@@JEdwarrd So that means people can just squat on private property without paying rent and the owner can do anything about it? How hard have you bumped your head?

@@kanuduh5234 Clearly you feel the need to staw man my argument b/c you are unaware of the market forces that created these conditions. I am not advocating for anyone to be abused, neither tenant or landlord. If you don't understand the reasons the housing crisis has unfolded, you certainly cannot pretend to have the solutions.

Prolly the elite not playing that game.

because the middle class too busy trying to parasite off those under them just like the Elites now they realize Satan does not share power and they have made bad character choices of others in their households.

@@robbyd3892 When do the "elite"s ever play the same game they expect the middle class to? I am reminded of the Pandora & Paradise papers.

the elite don't rent their houses out, and they hire private security services.

Absolutely!

good

Yes, it has turned a lot of people off in being a landlord. This is what is causing the housing crises. My Mom lives in a house close to the University, she won't rent out her basement suite because she doesn't want to go through the hassle of deadbeat tenants.

same - they want a place to live, go get a mortgage

A business decision was made not to build new housing for all the population growth for 40 yrs, Corporate interest (private developers) have lobbied the gov to keep it this way, but other corporate interest wants more immigration for business expansion. Our economic system has caused this problem, non of the economists take accountability. It's obvious Canadian citizens are being taken advantage of by corporate interest/ corruption.

@@JEdwarrdthat has nothing to do with these squatters not paying rent and taking advantage of the systems that protects the public. If you don’t pay rent for 3 months cops should be able to sort it out or the landlord should be able to lock them out. Tenants should not have the right to get court order against landlord for eviction when they have not paid their rent.

@@prashanthsubburam1605 It's simple: private developers have artificially inflated the market, lobbied the gov to keep housing stock in private hands, landlords have FOUGHT & FIGHT rezoning & solutions for the housing crisis in order to artificially get a a higher return. I am sorry that you chose to be a landlord & you took a risk, I am also sorry that other fellow landlords have created 0% housing crisis. While BLOCKING REZONING. They block a SOLUTION to the 0% rental vacancy, then complain when tenants hurt them back. Perhaps your narcissism prevents you from understanding the humanity in this.

@@JEdwarrd 😂😂😂 narcissism. my humanity does-not extend to people who don’t pay rent and play the system. The Tennant featured in this story not only refused to pay rent but also made the situation bad for the other unit to be rentable. That’s two houses lot of decent people would love too have and now this landlord is going to remove two units from rental market. In fact these Tennant should be exposed so that other landlords can avoid renting houses to these thieves.

Yup , definitely.. I’d be getting them out in a few hours .. they need to have proof it’s their home address.

That is illegal until the board rules on the eviction

nope. Illegal. Mind you if a mysterious group of bikers mysteriously showed up in the middle of the night to move them out ..... :+)

Another reason to get rid of ford the next election He drastically cut back staffing leaving tenants and landlords in a mess Landlords are now leaving units empty or screening out tenants with low paying jobs Tenants with low incomes know they are facing deacrimination in housing because if these situations It's hurting everyone It also makes neighbourhoods less safe Tenants are now subletting and over crowding rental units and landlords can't get them out There is no clear process for eviction of these guests

Cooperation works when cooperate overlords aren't trying to scam our people. Take a look at the current UK election season, the tories have ruined their economy, stripped their public services & the middle class has been gutted. Now compare what is happening here currently.

Every word you said is 100% accurate. Canada is becoming a socialist country where the tenants don't pay the owners of the properties they are living in. The whole point is the plan 2030 where the government will own everything like in socialism and the peasants own nothing and will be happy!

Sounds like you rented to whoever waved money at you first. Did you set any standards like renting only to someone employed for minimum 2 years, check background, references. Most landlords don't and that's where they get themselves in trouble renting to misfits of society

@@s_hart Got manipulated by friend who I worked with for 15 yrs. But I met plenty of people in the industry like realtors & property managers who had similar issues. Generally, about 20% of tenants are bad tenants, maybe more. A realtor who did property management informed me at one point one third of his tenants were in arrears. I was very careful for years, made a mistake which I have to take blame for...I know a guy who had a great tenant; Government manager, clean, paid on time etc. Guy moves out on short notice. The landlord never checked the unit the day he left. The guy left his bi-polar girlfriend behind. She had been living there long enough to establish tenancy. Took him 2 yrs, and over 40,000 dollars to evict her. Renting is very dangerous in this country. It needs to be kept in the hands of deep pocketed companies with legal staff on hand.

@@markdonaldson7934 well that's strictly the landlord's fault, they didn't do their due diligence by checking the unit when the tenant left. It's not right the bi-polar gf took over and perhaps there was a second key made without the tenants knowledge but at the end of it all it's the landlord's fault. No one likes to admit to f'ing up but people need to start taking accountability for their own decisions whether they thought it was a good idea at the time or not.

Since when do renting means making them pay ur mortgage? Low rents means fair...landlords became too greedy lol

right?it makes no sense.

Agreed, however all levels of gov have failed to provide basic housing for all citizens, but expect tax to be paid. I fail to see the freedom in this country when the middle classes role is to service debt to make the rich richer. The social contract is broken & it's all political parties that have ensured this has happened.

I think you are to the point. The consequence is too little for the perpetrators. If they could be sentenced to jail and left a criminal record, it would be much easier for small landlords to avoid them and leave the supply to decent people who would like a home.

Landlords abused renters for years when the delay in complaints meant they didn't need to do repairs. Not all of them I'm sure but every landlord I had was pretty much just abusing my desperation and ignoring the things I was paying for. This was a big enough problem that canada is full of people like me. Landlords can chew on their bad investment. No one needs to care.

@@allenli1281 How about all the oil execs who dumped $260 billion on us taxpayers as their business decision? I'm curious if your manufactured outrage is consistent or just when it comes to tearing those down who you deem "undeserving". Perhaps all the taxpayer money dumped into grocery chain refrigerators as they report record profits could have been used to build more housing...

I wonder what Putin would do to you if you stepped out of line?

It's sick.. I can't bite my tongue around my aunt whom is a landlord.

They bought at the top and now face the consequences

What do you think of Doug Ford's Green Belt corruption? Is this conservatives showing us their plan for the future?

That's why landlords all block rezoning right? lol Landlords block solutions, then complain when those that they abuse stand up & reject the abuse... it actually mirrors an abusive, narcissistic relationship.

​@@JEdwarrdlooking like you are one of these scammers based on the amount of comments you have made defending this type of action.

@@steveschmidt7123 So you can't engage intellectually so you go after my character. Do u work for a political action committee?? Same tactics used to discredit whistleblowers.

@@JEdwarrd I went after your actions, not your character (what little I'm sure you have). Keep defending scammers buddy.

@@steveschmidt7123 My actions? I have said words. I have outed how landlords block solutions to the housing crisis in order to artificially inflate their investments.

Scammers always find loopholes in the law to exploit and they tell all their friends about it.

But the whole point to this "news" segment is to divide us & to create outrage in the general population. Hating one another rather the corporate interests that created the housing crisis.

right now the "tenants" have more rights than she does. She can be criminally charged if taking back possession of her own property at this point. Squatters like this figure out the game pretty quick. Watch a few youtube videos, talk to other squatters, figure out exactly how to phrase the legal (garbage) paperwork, and take advantage of the up to a year and half backlog

To add I lost in the amount of 35 thousand in total and I still have to pay land taxes and heat the water and hydro and gas and mortgage and repair all the damages too it not funny anymore the government failing the small landlord's for that matter all landlord's one piece advice don't sign a lease rent you home as rooms. If they don't pay kick there but out after the first month missed.

Ford is as corrupt as Trudeau. He will not do anything that would positively change anything

Why is the corporate sector demanding more workers then? We are bending over for the corporate world while they destroy our country, and blame us for it.

Do landlords in BC have the right to appeal a decision?

@@kanwalinjapan from what I understood at the time is that you cannot appeal the decision with the RTB. You could write the Director a letter but all he might do is review the case, but not even communicate with you his/her findings, and they definitely would not over rule or change the ruling, no matter how wrong it was. This was 12 years ago. I have since heard of a case where the landlord appealed to the BC Supreme Court, but this took 5 or 6 years and about a $100k in costs. I have also in one case been the tenant in the RTB hearing and the mediator didn't even give the landlord a chance to speak, and was rude to him. I felt embarrassed for the landlord. All I can tell you is that the RTB in BC is very lopsided and 100% on the side of the tenant. It is what made me not want to rent anymore - way too dangerous. If you get the wrong tenant in your suite it could cause you to default on your mortgage or go bankrupt. If the tenant damages the property and you have to get contractors in to do a repair, you are in a whole other world of pain, especially if you also have to deal with a strata council that has "approved" contractors, then you can expect to pay 3 times more on top of the 3 times more the trades people in BC already charge. We had a roofing company quote $250,000 to what amounted to replacing about 6 shingles and running some sealant on our roof. It is crazy.

the biggest slum landlord is Toronto Community Housing.

All levels of gov have failed to build adequate housing for the population. This is happened over 40 years... This story is a direct result of citizens not being provided the basics, but are expected to be machines to service the "free market", which depends on gov handouts to function. So isn't it ironic the corporate media (paid by corporate lobbyists) never seems to do investigations to find real solutions other than creating division & outrage in society. Folks struggling in life (psychologically) then become the villain in the story. If our society does not care about our minds & our bodies, why are we concerned with capital interest? It's a legit question that deserves to be answered meaningfully.

I don't believe you're a renter.

@@zachweyrauch2988 I'm from BC, and we have different rules that I think Ontario should look into: 1. Here, one can only withhold rent with prior approval from the residential tenancy branch. 2. We have rent control province-wide that caps the increases pegged against inflation, and only one increase is permitted per 12 months, to get an increase above the guideline, there are much higher thresholds for evidence the landlord needs to show. 3. Our wait times for hearings are much less. Yes, they are still too long, but when I had an issue with a landlord attempting a renoviction, and dragging their feet on repairs they'd started after they did the initial demolition inside of my unit, it was resolved within a month, after waiting a couple weeks for a hearing.

@@TheRabid0ne B.C has also normalized money laundering, inflating property values.... the corrupt greed and malfeasance in BC alone is enough to shut your argument down.

@@TheRabid0ne No comment on all the money laundering that artificially raised property prices? Or the tech sector leaching off BC, driving the standard cost of living thru the roof? I lived in Yaletown, and I observed all the "wonderful" personalities Vancouver has attracted with all the money laundering.

You will own nothing and be happy.

Alberta?

Yeah, go visit a Toronto Community Housing project.

No one will buy with a tenant like that there

I’m sure the tenants will keep it very clean for showings

@@firstandforemost87 there was a place for sale with a tenant that didnt want to move he got a pit bull and put up no trespassing signs on the property and wouldnt let agents in to show the house last I saw the place was pretty much trashed ....nothing you can do as a landlord the LTB drags it out for years and tenant will have no money to be able to sue for damage or un paid rent

@@egc04 I was being sarcastic.

Kenora Ontario is bad for people taking advantage of no housing. Wheres the heart for ppl who do pay rent, keep the place clean...

Operative word is “should”.

LTB protects the non-payers and evicts paying tenants because the landlord or his/her family is "moving in".

And then the family members get charged with perjury
