What a crock of BS, we do NOT have squatter law in Canada, that is only in the USA and it was used so people could take over Native land..... the police can easily remove them if they cannot prove they have a legal right to be there, I know, it was used on me.... I used to plow snow at this place in Ottawa, the property manager for Control X realty lived in the next building, I took over the lease from a friend of mine and paid the Property manager, but he never paid the office and never told them, he pocketed the cash.... so when the Super came to collect rent, I told him I paid it to the manager. A few days later, the super and the cops showed up, the cops where nice about it, they even made the super wait in hallway. They explained the law and gave me 48 hours to get out and because I didnt get a receipt, I was SOL, as I had no way to prove that I was legally allowed in the Apt. and the guy I took over the lease from, was out west somewhere, I had no idea how to contact them. So I call BS on your story.
Ex landlord here. Didn't pay back when rents were cheaper. Others did that plus trashed the place. We went bankrupt. It happens all the time, particularly to newer landlords. So we would rather just leave our property empty and contribute to lack of affordable homes. My brother also tried to rent out, tenants trashed his place. What is $20,000 rents and $50,000 worth of damage? Now he has roommates he can trust. Makes less money, but they r dependable and help with the house and even shopping.
You guys should pitch a squatter related show to HGTV. "Love it or Squat it".
The buyer could have seen the outside of the property. It shows what garbage 🗑️ is!
We could offer better rents if there were guarantees on rents and property security
Blame the current housing crisis on the government of Ontario for removing rent control on units built after 2018, greedy landlords have raised the prices to unachievable levels for most Canadians. The government has let too many people into the country with not enough housing and the new high prices ensure that new Canadians won't be able to afford anything either. The Landlord Tenant Board is operating with a wait list of months for cases to be heard, tenants and landlords are suffering because this board just hasn't been able to get their act together.
Meanwhile, you have a respectable person with a pet.....and its like....no we wont rent to people with pets.
so, now you are a celebrety? - call the cops- trespassing
The squatters are breaking and entering this is a police issue.
It’s theft. They are stealing the use of this guys property.The laws need to change. If you aren’t paying rent as per the contract in the tenancy agreement….don’t let the door hit you on the way out. I’ve been renting here for 5 years. Excellent landlord. I pay my rent,don’t cause disturbances and keep the place clean. If anything needs repair it’s done within 24 hours.
I am consolidating properties now even in Texas just to be safe. As the economy becomes worse and worse, this will be more and more common. Going with stock and US T bills for the foreseeable future...
The "social contract" has been killed 10x over in the last 10 years and is only getting worse. If society and government actually did what it was supposed to do, I'd have already been working towards dozens of rentals. But, it is working against good natured tax paying law abiding people in every way, more and more. I wish it wasn't the case.
Hire a dozen bikers to help the squatters make the right decision ..
Tenants suck...
Squatters rights are human rights. Sometimes Canadians "Experience things differently"
Squatting budgets balance themselves.
Well I assume the right to own property and have possession is a law that should be upheld
Squatters? People with out a lease and pay no rent.
Potato… potatoe it’s all the same.
Get ready to see this explode. Knock out the bottom rung on the ladder and this is what you get.
They are squatting if they never had a lease and just decided to live in a vacant house
@@dianeneto buying a property sight un seen. Check. Buying a property in power of sale as is check. Buying a property that you think will be your forever home that is un seen. Check. Ruining your financial future. Precious.
Subleased a place to tons of students haha. Thank Justin Trudeau.
LTB is a piece of crap! Because of the LTB, investors are not investing in rentals.
This is just another example of there is no such thing as affordable housing. You can buy that at canadian Tire in the camping section. This is only going to get worse. Canada is going into a depression.
What a joke. Hard to imagine this is non-fiction, eh?
This is trespassing, this is a police issue, NOT LTB. The new owner never had a lease agreement with these squatters.
lol@ Police like there gonna help you
