I would not invest in property for renting

Landlord kicked my out and change lock and put my stuff out \nIn 2 week after renting \nAnd he didn't refund last month \nAnd when search how to complain I find out it's hard process and need a lawyer and fees to pbe payed by me \nWhat a country without government ?

Just when you think Canada couldn't be more corrupt...now you got tenants living rent free scott free!

In Quebec we are incapable of offering rent and services for everyone coming here, and there are too many people for proper francisation. French is in decline at a rate no one has seen and the only way for us out of this is to either leave Canada or have a federal government that actually cares.

So she has to pay OR leave? What about leave AND pay the back rent (41k). ?????

For me. If you are going to be a landlord. The unit you have must be already paid, if its mortgage dont be a landlord. Because if its already fully paid, whatever happens at the end of the day its still your unit, and the landlord can still sell it the future for the higher price. I am still in favor of the law for the tenant, because this landlords, they tend to put higher price whenever they want, specially those under the table, what ever the trend they can increase the price, or depends on their mortgage interest. It happens to us before, our rent is 800, then next year they are asking for 1,100. So we just moved out, then they rent the place for 1200 for the next renter, now we rent in a legit apartment who follows the percentage each year of rent increase, so we pay on time.

Why is the rent $41k plus hydro? I’d that for 6months or the year???? too ridiculously expensive for a condo - the board should cap rent prices at affordable prices!!!

I am a renter who has been evicted before because of a somewhat questionable N-12. I didn't fight it because I knew I would lose in the end. However, if I had fought it I would have still payed my rent. Always pay your rent.

Bro I would rather keep my money in the bank than purchasing a house and renting it to some low life who won’t pay me rent. The law is always on the tenants side so why go through the hassle. It’s just pathetic.

If you own a vacant property they’ll hit you with a vacant home tax…. If you rent out that property the renter will have all the rights and it could take months/years to get the bad ones out…. Did I get that right?

MY UNCLE OWN A TOWNHOUSE AND TENANT FLEWED BACK HOME WITHOUT PAYING HIM ONE YEAR OF RENT AROUND $30K AND SOME SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE PROPERTY.

I’m not sure if it does already, but if it doesn’t, this is the perfect reason why paying rent on time should be tied to your credit score. If you missed payments, your credit score should take a hit.

people are so entitled and evil not paying rent, these are mom and pop landlords not hedge funds buying 30000 units.

Yep and they make it bad for every black person in this country, What a shame living in someone else’s home and dont want to pay rent, this why I tell people I would never rent my basement to no one I don’t care who you are, the justices system thinks in this country.

Now they only rent on 28 day basis it’s like a quasi airbnb system. you can do it outside of Toronto. make the tenant sign every month. and also furnish the apartment with really basic stuff. the tenants are poor they have no choice.

My son had to leave THAT very building because rent went from $3600 to $6500 and they only had 3 months notice

You want affordable rent protection the landlords

I don't find there is any political will to fix the issue. Landlords in ontario should not rent out their properties until the govt fixes the problem..

A rental property isn’t a GIC itts not guaranteed money it’s a investment and some investments go down. But we have a serious problem where someone can live for more then a couple months with out paying rent

Rent is free, can’t evict them. It’s the law.

When you rent to blacks this is what happens

I've been a landlord for many years, I've been through a few very bad tenants, out of 8 houses i rent out 7 have fantastic tenats, the one thats always late and is running down my property I've tried to evict for 5 years but he then catches up with rent and cleans up the yard and the cycle starts agian! I would say in my 20 years renting that only a very small percentage are bad but they can couse you alot of grief and money!

Some of these slumlords deserve everything they are getting. I am trying to convince my neighbor not to pay their rent as the slumlord evicted a very nice family after they refused to pay a $1500 increase claiming he is selling the house. He never sold but he sure did turn the home into a rooming house with over 20 students. It is a F@king nightmare.

Order says to move out by Aug 18. Not only is she able to appeal, which will be granted for any reason she can invent, but even if this doesn't happen he still has to schedule the sheriff to physically perform the eviction which is minimum 8 to 10 weeks out. This is one of the causes of the housing market in that people with units available to rent won't do so because they are scared of this happening to them. Literally thousands of units across Ontario go vacant due to the broken LTB.

Shouldn't cost 41k in rent, you should be able to buy a home, it should be a human right. Landlords. Funny thing about pigs, they're slaughtered in farms.

So sick of these kind of people.. they are the problem with the system! Do they not realize they will have to pay this man in rent owing in the End!? Just pay your Rent!

No wonder people do not want to rent out nowadays with disgusting rogue tenants like these. The system is broken. And the govt does not give a damn to fix it. The govt is equally responsible along with these rogue tenants for this ugly mess, all the govt wants is to tax vacant condo home owners for their own policy blunders and lethargic system. Who in the right mind would want to rent out after seeing this. My sympathies go out to these condo home owners for the plight they are in who are running from pillar to post to get their dues and to get these rogue tenants evicted.

LOL... $75,000 new RAM in the driveway!!.. but will NOT pay rent.\nGeebus.

If you own an apartment or rental be super careful about who you rent to. Check their assets, credit bureau, references, employment. Better to rent for less to get grade A tenants instead.

Pay the rent or get out. Should be easy. The laws here are just ridiculous

Soon noone is going to be able to rent out their properties... wonder where people are going to live??? hmmm

Back in 1998 I was laid off and waiting for U.I/E.I to kick in and send a cheque and was 2 months behind on rent, they had me in L/T Tribunal Court at St Clair/Yonge before my 1st cheque was mailed, I wasn't kicked out but had to agree to pay my full rent on the 1st from that point and $200 each month on the 15th til I caught up on arrears (took 1 year) if I had been late once on either date they could have re opened the L/T Tribunal case and kicked me out. If I couldn't have paid I would have moved out, that's the difference between those born before 1990 and after, morals and having a conscience, lacking in most Millennials and Z's because X mothers didn't want to discipline their 90s babies or make them responsible adults.

Time to allow ratings for tenants and landlords. Boo hoo that you will never be able to rent again or rent your unit again. Crime pays it seems and Gov don't care. How simple it would be to pass a law to prevent this.

You gotta really check the backgrounds of people when renting out your unit.

Never give rent to blаск реорlе.

If the government doesn't want to step in and get tenants out after missing 1 payment, then it should become the government's problem, and they should have to pay the landlord rent. Protect criminals on your own dime. I can't just stop paying my mortgage. Why should you just be allowed to live for free with no consequences?

These losses get passed to the next tenant. Jack up the rent!!

There needs to be more protection for landlords. If squatting trespassers want free rent, toss them in jail, if they are not Canadian citizens, deport them.

I feal for this man.He just like me is using his rental to subsidize his retirement.What gives this nice looking young woman the right to live free in someone else's space.What gives the government the right to make such stupid rules.I call this entitlement renters know that they can get away with out paying rent.What if the entire world's population were not paying rent?\nThis young woman should be ashamed of herself.She is a product of poor parenting obviously.She has no consience.\nI wonder if the condo owners HOA fees and utility fees are waved.Not likely I mean No

What is wrong with Toronto? If someone can’t pay their rent, they should be evicted!

Get people to drag her out of the condo and move all her things into storage and give her the storage unit key. Also give her 2 weeks rent in a cheap motel. Then move into the condo and change the locks.

I think I saw that young woman on the news a while ago saying her rent was going up . two sisters anyways . I'm sorry to her about her sister. but you have a rental agreement with Mr Singh and should adhere to it or get out . and the other people should get out of that house also or keep paying your rent till you come to an agreement with the owner of the home in Brampton . the law has to change .

As much as it's wrong, i don't feel sorry for anyone who OWNS more than one property and likely charges over $2k plus a month in rent. If you don't vet your tenants that's YOUR problem and if you're a grifting landlord you get what you get!

i dont understand, when im late on my rent i get an eviction notice dated for a certain day, if that day comes they show up with police and move me out? why is it so different in toronto, im only in edmonton canada.

I am sorry about this but landlord charging rent for that unit at $3,416.66/month = they are the criminals, not the person renting it!!

you gotta be special kind of person who has a brand new truck but you are not paying the rent even though you are running a trucking company

stop buying property just to rent it out maybe get a real job instead of taking over properties that you dont intend to live in making the housing crisis even worse. same goes for the people who loaned out to make a bunch of apartments airbnb. you aren't providing anything, your taking something thats available off the market and then repackaging it like its helpful. its really a big part of why housing is so expensive no one wants to work they just want to be landlords.

Is there a database where future landlords can look at her history so they won't rent to her?

Don't rent your hard earned property to anybody.

As a landlord - I had this happen to me .\n$35k in unpaid rent which I never got back after the tenant moved out .\nI learnt that the tenant had done this to 2 other landlords prior .\nIt’s a shame - my house was priced fairly and was a brand new home . There was no reason to pay other than greed .\nI have since sold the home and moved on : it’s one less home for people who can’t afford to buy at the moment to rent .\nThis stupid system needs to be overhauled .
