Moving to Vancouver was a great experience tbh, I'm of nigerian heritage but was born in Finchley, North London...\nCanadians are friendly and extremely welcoming ( Coming from the UK i found this so off-putting ) lol. Ironically its non-white Canadians i had funny experiences with.... from dating to renting its weird\n\n\nAsians under 27 always asking some crazy questions ( Are you an NBA player ) lol it's cute at first but after a while when little koreans walk up to me talking about ( You look like will smith ) it makes you think... To be fair these are not inherent negatives, But asian canadians alone did treat me weird i found, Indian girls i met all wanted to be with me but where also very ashamed to say so or let their family know, but thats a cultural thing so i understood.\n\n\n Of all the demographics White canadian and native men where the most welcoming and open to me, in my experience.. White women of-course where cool too but that does not really count, especially as a good looking black guy with an accent LOOL you know how that goes!! My Tinder and Bumble were obscene LMAO\n\nRenting from asians while black and Male!? is almost impossible!!! Except they think you have rich parents!! Its impossible in Van unless you are an Arab exchange student lol \nArab and Persian students studying english have no issues renting in Vancouver, for some reason!!\n\nI lived out the St. Regis downtown for a month, Looking for places to rent, i had seen so many places online and filled out applications but never got call backs, asides from 2 group showings i went to, i could not even set up a viewing with the apartment building i wanted... \n\nTill i met an african girl in school, and she told me something i found completely crazy.\nShe told me to make a new e-mail addy and to use my English name when i e-mail, then set up a viewing but to show up with a white friend preferably a girl and that if the owner is asian, i should look around, and offer to pay 6months upfront before they get a chance to ask what i did for work or whether i was a student or not LOL. Needless to say, i did what she said and It worked the asian lady asked me to come get the keys later that day. Its just life, as a property owner they really just wanna size you up, not fair and kind of pathetic but its not inherently evil...

That first nation grandmother is absolutely beautiful and also Rory should now be the point man to purchase rent or anything else his friends of color need

That computer test proves nothing...people relate to people who are most similar to them. Period. \n\nLets pull the data on how many black people discriminate against black people. For example, do black landlords who own and rent expensive apartments treat every applicant the same? Will they accept more whites or more blacks? Will they show preference to people with higher incomes? What about single moms? The disabled? Obviously business people are going to make decisions which they believe will produce the best outcome. \n\nOur behavior is based largely on past experience and knowledge. If I get burned 80% of the time I touch the stove, then I will learn to be cautious 100% of the time I go to touch it. But Im NOT going to be cautious when I touch the refrigerator or washing machine. \n\nI will add that it is 100% unacceptable to mistreat others based on outward appearances. Every person, no matter their race, dress, age, etc., deserves dignity and a certain amount of respect.

free rent and benefits. why not

Ive rented apartments my current tenants are mixed white b4 that never thought anout renting for race sexuality just if there good ppl

For thousands of years we had boarders languages and cultures... now socialist lunatics opened borders , allowed illegal immigrants just to show up and expect tolerance . The illegals are not tolerant to our boarders ... I have a right to rent to whom I want a rent too... I will not rent my house to Somalian refugee . Yes I will rent to a couple like me . Nothing wrong with that

Trudeau you let your kind in to Canada, you let the People in Canada live on the streets and will not help them no money no food no rent money for those streets people no hotels for them but you Trudeau pay for all those you let in to Canada that's not fake news

I am curious. Why no footage of Mark attempting to rent an apartment in Toronto?

One thing I've learned about apartment shopping they don't usually tell everyone the same apartment because they both might want it but one will be disappointed. Can't rent same unit to all...

Not a very wide sample. As a white senior woman I have been tasseled about possible theft and watched. This is not just about race but over all shop lifting that all of us pay for. I was discriminated against all my life completely as a SINGLE WHITE WOMAN WITH CHILDREN. Always had to rent cheep run down places in bad neighborhoods and I worked everyday all my life and was educated.

Well when the people who are getting rich from the rooms getting rented are liberals, it's a no brainer.

Bhaai this is really nice video but after you made on tiffins then plz make one for the rents and places out there.....stay healthy love from ?Ahmedabad ??

Send the magnets back they are filth I would never rent them even a garbage bin .also all media should be hung for all the propaganda they spin and have for far to long

Life in India is a 1000 times better. Struggle in life is important and it teaches you a lot of things, but strudel should be in studies and self betterment... I worked in a sausage factory for 2 years in the UK to pay for my rent and food. It was all a waste of time and youth

I live in Pgh Pa and my landlady would never rent to blacks. It's so sad and I told her she could end up losing her lisence to rent .

Apka ghar ka rent kitna hain please tell me.

I am against outright racism. Although I look as though I am part white, I am not. I am however for profiling. The FBI does it with some degree of accuracy. All that means is that you have one demographic that commits certain crimes or faux pas and should be looked closer at. So what? Do stores follow blacks or teens because they have a lower rate of theft? If that were true, then the profiling would be unjust. Sorry, if someone didn't want to rent to me because of my race, then I'd find another place to spend my money. Why go to or patronize someone who doesn't appreciate you as an individual? Beats me.

Very good video bro. Please make a video on full monthly cost of living (rent, food, transportation, misc.). It is humble request bro ?. Can you cover all expenses from your part time job money?

Did anyone notice how the black guy greeted the indigenous guy? Pulled in for a shoulder bump.. Not just a handshake greeting as with white guy..? & they also sent the indigenous guy into the Shoppers w 2 bags.. Which staff are told to watch for because it creates more opportunity for stealing & hiding products.. Its all about context sometimes..☺ \nI have picture documentation of an Asian lanlord specifically asking for other Asians to rent from him on a Toronto Facebook Marketplace.. But when I contacted news agencies.. No takers.. Cause it doesn't fit the narrative. \n\nI could go on..Lol

I had a apartment stolen from me by a minority. Quotas and diversity were the enablers. Sweet justice when the couple were evicted for drugs and not paying rent.

Who hasn't been watched in a store? They will indeed watch you if you stay in one area too long, look around too long, have different types of bags, have your coats thrown over items in a basket, etc. Anyone can make themselves be watched just by their own behaviours. But I agree that landlords should be able to choose the tenants they want. They take great risks renting and it should be their right. I believe everyone racially profiles and they also profile white people against other whites, depending how they look. Even animals do that sometimes it appears.\n\nAnybody like the CBC, Oprah, or anyone who wants can make it appear that certain groups are biased against as well, but rarely will those people do surveys on store clerks who experience reverse discrimination very often themselves.

No wonder some people have a hard time renting its cause of human rights commissions fining landloards for checking their own properties with minority tenants

Immigrants buy stuff, rent buildings and buy homes. Its greedy politicians that is the problem.

do you really want to rent to a special protected minority religion who can turn on you and SUE YOU and WIN for silly things like not taking off your shoes? a landlord in toronto has lost his case for not taking off his shoes ... the govt has made us all victims to this protected cult who know they can sue us and win every dang time. so dont talk about racism to me.

3rd world canada here we come... Their buying up all these properties.. Like 1refugee family owns 20properties in their 1st year here.. How is that even possible?? Slumlords.. They rent to our people, refuse to do upkeep, and the rent sky rockets.. That's how.. How do they get all those mortgages? I can't even get one.. And I've paid my rent ob time every month for 18year's.. Wtf???

And we ask why our rent is high

Lol chinese people do this throughout canada. Rent 1 /20th of a house and all driving nice cars. White people actually own a whole house and live with their family and drive regular cars.

They came to Canada to invest in the housing market. Many owners of houses and condos in Toronto/Richmond Hill and other areas live in China and pay managers to rent their property and take care of the money for them. China requested Canada to hand over Chinese citizens who took illegal sums of Chinese funds out of China but Canada refused due to the harsh Chinese sentences for that crime. Wealthy Chinese are laundering Billions of funds in the Canadian housing market and other investments. Although there are many other reasons for the Canadian housing bubble the fact remains that many young people and families residing in Canada can’t afford the inflated housing prices. Many Chinese come to Canada for their holidays, and one reason I know when they arrive is because my doctor is Chinese and every spring the office is packed with Chinese people who come to get their annual free check up, they all have Canadian citizenship and health cards too.

There buying everything thease fucers..i cant stand them..dirty. nasty..fucs...buy property's at high prices..driving up rents everthing...not welcome

They are given 50,000 and I'm given nothing to start up my family while being born here and being raised in a poor family! Also those crossing the border Illgeally should be treated like criminals! Can I go to your country illegally? So why with mine??? More people made rent higher, lower wages from competition and traffic is crazy now! Immigration has helped anyone but the immigrant and made my life harder.. all for being nice. Being nice doenst have any benefits except for being Walked on. Trudeau is just trying to buy votes

Omg!!! Will they get room service too? Four Seasons? Here I am working 50 hours a week, went to college, pay taxes and my own healthcare from my employer then busting my ass and can barely make rent. Can I get a free hotel too? Where did we go wrong here.

Glad it was denied. He seems to be able to afford rent, a vehicle, $15 000 in legal fees...

There is racism on all sides.....condo owners in bc only talking Chinese.......Muslim apt owner would not rent to a white.....is not just poor immigrants..wake up!

I think we should help people. I’m an immigrant and my parents got their passage paid but also had to pay it back. Which we did, but still waiting for our $50,000 cheque. My Dad got a job in a town which had low rent. We were a family of five not living in a hotel but part of an army barracks. We were out in the country which freedom for all the kids. Free schooling,dental and Dr and cheep food. Where was this? You ask. Burwash, ont. A self sufficient industrial prison farm. We had a great childhood there. But the govt closed it because it was out of the way for inmates relatives to visit.

Im sadden I can't find a room to rent.

Depend on your education how much you can earn in India....$14 bucks in Canada consider below poverty line because rent is 1300$ what a stupid person...that guy is

What kind of a Prime Minister uses the people's money to board people in hotels that aren't even legal citizens, while allowing tens of thousands of his own countrymen to live in the street and believes it to be morally correct to coerce hotel owners into housing people they would likely not rent to in any other circumstance?

Illegal immigrants get a free hotel, but the homeless struggle meal to meal?!?!?\n\nI want free rent and health care too!! Here I come!!!

My friend just told me his father live in a tent behind wall Mart in the wood because he couldn't find a place to rent.

the gov rents the houses for them with tax payers money and then you cant find a house and then they raise your taxes to pay for it, wake up canada, get rid of justin, elect your own trump!

Yes but who does the most stealing. I’ve rented to minority’s before and I had them live there without paying for 6 months these preconditioned notions come from experiences

Many chinese condo landlords refuse to rent to blacks, indians, whites only their own kind. Of course there's no racism in canada. Good luck renting with your name being Tyrone. Diversity! hahaha

Here's a fun fact for you,Chinese landlords dont want to rent to chinese tenants because they dont look after the place and are dirty. They much prefer whites. This is from chinese people who wont rent to their own race. Of course it is only old whitey who discriminates. Of course these facts dont suit the medias commnist narrative and are ignored

I own rental properties, I rent based on integrity only!

I wonder if the one apartment offer was because... someone rented the other apartment? \n\nYa know... cause a lot of people live in major cities? Or because the news is all sensationalized and manipulated.

I have had more problems with black tenants then I have with white tenets I have had very few problems with Hispanic tenants and even fewer problems with Asian tenets so my preference is to rent to Hispanics and Asians in my lower income properties I still rent to whites and blacks however an Asian will just about always pay their rent regardless of what their credit score is Hispanics will just about always pay their rent regardless of what their credit scores whites and blacks with low credit scores do not pay their rent as well as Hispanics and Asians this is based on 23 years of being a landlord as far as cleanliness of the apartment goes Hispanics Asians and blacks have much cleaner apartments then whites

Native Americans have trouble with drinking I have rented to native Americans several times and it has never worked out once the money from their grants run out or once they fall off the wagon and start drinking again they end up getting evicted I have tried several times it has always been a disaster many of them have come to me saying they have a drinking problem they've stopped drinking they want to move to get away from their friends that they drink with and if I would give them an opportunity they would be very appreciative a month or two later they are beating up each other it's not my fault that Native Americans have a drinking problem it's also not my fault that need of Americans get a lot of government money and do not hold jobs in a disproportionate percentage of their population

I went and viewed 3 vacant apartment in a building. Available immediately. I was ready to take one. I noticed, as we went to each apartment that they were all inhabited by Polish people. The Superintendent and the Property Manager, also Polish. I am guessing the owner was too.\nI am a single, middle aged, clean and healthy, responsible white woman. NOT polish though. After submitting my application and deposit I waited. 5 days later called and left a message, 2 days after, called again. No answer. Then, called from a Private number and they answered right away. I asked them the status of my application. We are sorry ... all three apartments taken. \nI believe I was discriminated against because I am not Polish. Oh well ... I've moved on. Found a great apartment up the street for less rent, free parking and a very welcoming atmosphere.\nLife goes on.

My family owns real estate and we're of Asian descent. I can say that we racially profiled every single applicant for our rental units. The first thing we look at in choosing a tenant is race, and the second is income/cash reserves. We've had Natives and blacks come in to take a look, and immediately rejected without outright saying so. We only rent to East Asians, some South Asians, and most Whites.

Preferring to live with people that are like ourselves is not racism but preference. If a black landlord chooses only black tenants, it is called diversity, but if a white one wants to rent the apartment to whites, it called racism.
