Black people want free rent, shocking

This guy isn’t Canadian and we need to stop selling them for profit housing, we have no fair priced housing for Canadians but immigrants get mortgages funded by our crooked government so they can send the money out of the country. Stop this and watch rent rates fall u bet.

The tenant has not paid rent or utilities for 4 years! The Landlord /Tennent Board is a joke in Ontario. The tenant is playing the system, she knows the Landlord /Tennant Board is an ineffective government organization. Why would anyone invest in a rental property in Toronto? You could wind up like these people.

I think this has something to do with it being him not being a corporation or using a lawyer cuz in both cases they are private rentals. Them corps will kick you out over 1 month late rent while still holding your last months rent deposit!

In the future, maybe only the Italian mafia will be in the business of renting in ON. No need to go through the tenant board should any issues arise :D

Considering the population increase is causing rent and housing prices to double its no wonder we have massive issues.\nCanadians deserve places to live they can afford. Not to make foreigners hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Somalian Rent Pirates

Never rent your property out in these types of areas. This is a joke.

The same things are happening in Australia where balconies are being rented as rooms.

The law is so unfair ,one year free rents is enough time to move those tenants.,why can’t the city law see that .owners has expenses too,maintenance school and municipal taxes income tax,lost of income,etc

Interestingly enough I’ve actually been to that unit few years back, it was really nice, and had a great view. Didn’t know that girl wasn’t pay her rent….. not good

How on earth do you just live for 4 years in someone else’s house and not pay rent? This is unfathomable to me. I have a rental property and so far, so good. I had no idea this kind of thing could happen. It makes me angry enough just watching this to have the thought of meeting them in the lobby if this ever happened to me. The law is too unfair.

he could just force her out the door its very easy to do and change locks , and she cant get back in ! , If you rent it out , make them pay upfront 1 year rent , and before they move in , make sure the check goes through bamk first or ask for cash ....

Only in Canada? The problem of immigration is everywhere in the Western world, and the anti-immigration sentiment is just a normal and healthy reaction. \nThis massive immigration influx pushes the increase in prices of housing to mad levels, and it's just a matter of time that the entire population realises about it.\nHere in Spain it is already unsustainable, crazy prices, no rent units available. So I guess only anti-immigration political parties will win the elections from now on. And it will be fair.

Scapegoating is the right word. The same people complaining about a lack of infrastructure for everyone are the same people who voted for politicians who cut social services and removed rent control. Blame yourselves.

Wait so I DONT have to pay my mortgage? I can just rent and not pay?

This is criminal...two sides of the story here i can assume...but both sides are at fault...the tenant is a criminal and the landlord should have done more...put pressure on the landlord and tenants court...the landlord and tenants organization is a joke...no one takes them serious because they have a huge back load of court cases is not an excuse...the government wants more housing with out properly funding the courts and they are costing owners money 3 fold. It's a systematic virus...these figures these landlords quoted do not even include the damage the location has after the entitled criminal tenant leaves behind. Also this is not a mental heath issue, its just a plain purposely planned out criminal act. If they are criminally charged and convicted i am sure they will be comfortable in a 10 X 8 cell for 2 years with free rent, utilities and 3 square meals a day. Ford never takes in account possible issues that can arise he jumps into a project and never considers the side effects...maybe in heart he is a PC but he acts like a Liberal. They need the back log dealt with and a special team to police this industry.

99% of tenants pay their rent on time. This kind of coverage where they blow these rare cases out of proportion is meant to manufacture sympathy for landlords profiting off the housing crisis. The media is clearly owned by the real estate lobby, and they're exploiting landlords who are minorities to push their propaganda.

I so much want to rent my place after retirement for a much needed income stream but this scares the heck out of me.

I would live in fear if I were that far behind in rent, Ive read of landlords going nuclear over this type of stuff. Its very dangerous that Canada is allowing this.

You knew the risks renting it out. You hoped it wouldn't happen and it did. You made the bed, sleep in it.

And there's still unaffordable housing, and it's just going to give landlords more excuse to make it harder to rent.

Bro it’s called a gun… ?\nDon’t worry you can just say the unpaid rent was causing mental health issues

Don't rent your home to anyone on your property, if you have lost your mind or are trying to make extra pennies since CA is the heaven of offenders!

Don't rent to people that highly likely that would not pay ? simple ?

Good video, but you're grossly misinformed about firearms ownership. You can own semi-auto rifles and shotguns with a non-restricted. Handguns were banned by the trudeau liberal government and crime in major cities have sky rocketed. I personally have witnesses shootings.\nNever before was there such violent crime as of 2015 because of justin trudeaus open immigration policy. Drive by shootings, extortion of businesses, robbery and home invasions was unheard of 20+ years ago and now its on the news daily. \nCell phone retail stores lock their doors and have to buzz you in because crime is so rampant and self-defence rights are not recognized. You have a nation of victims courtesy of this delusional, inept government. Another issue is incredibly high taxes, rent, inflation and safe injection sites that attract drug dealers, gangs and have drug addicts on the street. Housing is so inflated by foreign buyers that the average Canadian will NEVER be a home owner. Healthcare is getting worse, the majority of Canadians don't have a family doctor and wait times to see a specialist can be up to 8+ months.\nThe trudeau's, both father and son have ruined this great nation.

Lesson learned, NEVER NEVER RENT IN Ontario, and especially Toronto...

nvr rent to black...

A black guy told me once\nnever rent to black people\nAnd he is right ...in my experience it never pays out

Meanwhile I get evicted for asking for a rent receipt. Bank records aren't evidence anymore I guess. Likely it's because I'm the wrong colour. It is called Social Justice Tribunal

People shouldn’t be allowed to scam and not pay rents. But I also don’t believe people should be allowed to own residential properties as investments. Theres no shortage of other things to invest your money in. If people couldn’t own residential properties for renting purposes these scammers wouldn’t be able to do this. They would have to buy a home or nothing. Also homes would be less expensive with no investors in the market.

Never ever black people to rent your property.

Here in Vancouver BC, there are some Mexicans that sub rent to another Mexicans apartments n belasements to make business out this people. 6-7 people in 1 bed apartmnet !!!!.... Canada has failed in this one.

This woman wouldn't do this if the police could remove her within a month for non payment of rent. The appeal process is completely unjust. Landlords own the property, paid for it, are responsible to care for it. They should not have to bear non-paying squatters occupying and often damaging their property.

What a shame. If I rented a car and didn’t return it.. I’d be charged with theft

LTB is junk .. don’t rent just sale off canada is full of scammers now ..

If you heard you could have free food, rent , & thousands of dollars if we invade mexico WHAT YOU THINKS GONNA HAPPEN?

Good time to make rent normal again

What…. A…. Shame. No it’s not right she doesn’t pay rent, but let’s look at the other side of the coin here. You know for a fact this clown owns about 12 more condos in the same building, all being financed from India and all the money headed back to India. It’s pretty hard to feel bad for landlords, who are nothing more than money launderers.

How the hell can't he evict her after owing more then 3 months rent. 41k is insane.

Never going to rent my house.\n\nIf I had an extra unit, ask for 3 year rent ahead of time.

This happens alot in vancouver i think a big reason is rents are so high people just cant afford rent

Got out of renting long time ago. Landlords are getting the shaft.

Poor women, should be excuse and help -- Liberal-NDP criminal coalition is guilty that good Canadian do not have money for rent -- Somebody knows any owner rental apartment from Global News , give us address and phone number to help poor good Canadian people to rent this apartment for Peace and Love -- Viva Canada

nothing such thing ,you can see in usa. This is a utter stupid laws in canada, the tenants can enjoy without paying rents for even for years. I don't know what the hell of all these laws where they found such laws on this planet. The tenants never know the value of the property. most of them are all on welfare and child tax benefits. mainly they are cooking and sleeping 24/7 and damaging the property too. if you go to land lord tenants board. they are other stupid. they don't know how a landlord is suffering by all these stupid tenants.

I know so many people who would love to rent out their basements.....but wont . If the government brought in a 1 month eviction law , no questions asked...a huge amount of spaces would open up for tenants....huge.

I don't understand the way theose people are thinking!! Yes, you might get away with a year or 2 of not paying rent, but at some point, you'll get evicted, and your name will be on the Openroom website, how TF then you'll get a landlord to accept your application then ? You might saved 20 or 30K, but you'll spend it in few months living in a hotel hoping for someone to rent you their place

For the people supporting the tenant the landlords should stop long term renting altogether. Either Airbnb or sell. There will be reduced rental supply and you can count on government to solve the housing problem.

When you own a home and are renting it out. You are fully responsible for the housing of the tenant. This is the rule in Canada. You want to take on the task of being a landlord then this is what you got to deal with. The rent amount must be so ridiculous that this poor girl can't afford it. ?

Do people actually think the landlord pockets all the rent money or something?
