Peterborough landlord dealing with "nightmare" tenant who stopped paying rent

- One Peterborough landlord says she's at her wit's end while dealing with a "nightmare" tenant situation who stopped paying rent in Sept. 2023.
Lorinda Seward attempted to remove her current tenant from their home, but the tenant quickly filed a stay of eviction.
Since then, the house has allegedly been occupied by an unknown amount of strangers, which Seward says had made renting the second section of the house impossible.
As they await to sit before the landlord-tenant board they look to the community for support. Tricia Mason has their story.

So if i dont pay my mortgage 1 month bank will take my keys away and here we go no rent for 10month and no law?
Wow what a great justic system
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.
Please take some English classes before commenting again....
@@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 is this allowed. This is absolutely disgusting that this is allowed in Canada
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?
Im an excellent tenant. Respectful, prompt to pay , quiet and i even garden. People like this make it so hard for people like me. Im on disability, its very hard.
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.
No rent? They should be allowed to remove their belongings and change the locks. No questions asked. This business of tenants rights is 💩.
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.
This is why I stopped being a landlord
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
Canadian laws need some serious updating they are very one sided and are being abused
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.

This doesn't happen to the elite.
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.
It's trespassing.
Ontario needs to start a official tenant registery where your name is listed with rental history like they do with credit at Equifax and Transunion. You print the report show a prospective landlord. The bad tenants will be revealed on this registry.
As a former small scale Ontario landlord, here is my warning to people in Canada thinking about renting out a space in their house or buying a 2nd property: IT WILL BE ONE OF THE BIGGEST MISTAKES OF YOUR LIFE, DO NOT EVEN RENT A DOOGHOUSE TO A DOG IN THIS COUNTRY.....Rent theft is now legal in the country. At any time, your tenant(s) could simply chose to cease paying rent, then it will take you who knows how long to evict them. Then you have to pay contractors to fix your property. Dealing wth other people's mental illnessess, addictions like gambling-drugs-alchol etc will be your new existence. The current Ontario Government destroyed the current landlord board, but the ego of our failed Premier won't allow him to admit that laying the entire in person local housing tribunal staff to switch to online hearings only has sowed such chaos the system is crumbling. Find another way for a 2nd income...you have been warned.
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
This system only works when people cooperate. However people are more willing than ever before to take advantage of it. This real estate/housing system needs complete reform because people will not change and only seek to exploit it further.
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.
I don't really understand how someone can stop paying rent but still get to stay in their place. 10 months? What's the precedent? That's more than enough to get a job and save up for a new place. Who is this helping besides criminals/scammers?
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...
What is our Landlord & Tenant Board doing regarding this ? I won't dare rent my house to renters cuz I don't want any stress on my part if renter stop paying rent. Since the law doesn't protect the small landlord, the more small landlord would be hesitant to sign in renter
This is one of the reasons for the lack of affordable rentals. Why be a landlord if you have no rights????? We were once landlords and I was sooooo glad to sell the place. A few bad tenants destroyed much
You know if a tentant destroys something significantly you can have a money order issues so they have to pay for the damages.
Unless those damages are of course just normal wear and tear from using the house.
So sad to see, this is what is causing an even bigger homeless Crisis, as landlords have been left on the Hook by this irresponsible Government legislation. If you want landlords to provide responsible housing This needs to be fixed BIG GUY FORD! This is why we vote for you!!
As a T myself, I’m for landlords. If a T hasn’t paid 3 consecutive months then they should not have to have a hearing but should get a notice from the board to evict immediately. If the T has paid and the LL is lying then the T should provide the proof and the L get a hefty fine. If it is more complicated only then should a tribunal hearing be scheduled. Not every case needs a hearing. This is the reason it takes so long and the LL is out of pocket. Streamline the process better and be efficient about it!
I don't think it should take so long I agree, within a month at most.
There are too many hoops and waits that ultimatley screw everyone over.
Landlord should hire a bouncer… Not legal? So was trespassing… Either way, will sort out by same tenancy board, but at least landlord collect rent while waiting, instead of squatter laughing in your face…
Who wants to rent to people anymore? This is a prime example of why they are homeless
I'm a renter, this sickens me. Makes it harder for me and my friends to find places. More than 1 month late on rent should equal automatic eviction, you had a month to get caught up or move out.
It's a breach of contract at best, and more likely should also be looked at as theft, mischief, fraud, and public mischief for falsely or improperly filing a stay of eviction with the tenancy branch.
... and in this case, if it's true the original tenant is gone, the one who once HAD a lease... it's time for cops to throw out everyone else for trespassing.
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.
Change the lock!
She, or her husband made duplicates of the key to give to other people, so if the lock is changed then the key will not work therefore NOBODY can enter except, for the home owner. If a stranger is in the home right now then that is considered as breaking, and entering, and what I said should be illegal, so remove the person then CHANGE THE LOCK IMMEDIATLY!!!
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
A number of years ago I was talking to a landlord that owned multiple properties and the issue of these problem tenants came up. He said any landlord that knows what they are doing always visits their property during a rent dispute with two large, well muscled friends with them.
I'm sure the laws were created to protect tenants, but it didn't anticipate that Scammers will abuse the law and allow them to live rent free.
Scammers always find loopholes in the law to exploit and they tell all their friends about it.
neighbor rented his house out got first and last months and nothing for 2 years he ended up having to pay the delinquent tenant $10000 cash to move out so he could sell the property before he lost it to the bank ...I would never rent in todays Canada
good
Ontario tenant board should bear the cost, if they cannot solve something max 3 months, or close that useless board its another waste of tax payers money.
so sorry for the landlord! horrible situation!who wants to be landlord in Canada.
I wonder what Putin would do to you if you stepped out of line?
If the legal tenant has moved out, doesn't that make the others trespassers? Shouldn't the police be able to remove them for that reason?
The tenant has left, so how is it possible that these other unknown people are occupying the premises? The lease has been broken, (tenant having left) are any of these other people's names on the lease? If no, they are trespassing, change the locks and don't allow them entry. Pay to have their possessions put in storage for 30 days, if they don't pay for them after that let the storage company deal with that and I assure you they will.
Have a reliable friend sign the lease to rent. And then move them in. Show police the signed agreement....the other has to leave....simple as that!
This is a double edged sword. You have tenants who don't pay and you have bad landlords who want to evict tenants just to bring in more tenants who will pay the current "market rate". I had a landlord with whom I had a great relationship. I kept the place immaculate and always paid on time. I had been there nine years. He wanted more money and used the "I'm moving in" excuse and wanted me to leave on New Years Eve, over the Christmas Holiday. He was Muslim so did not celebrate and I have two children who do. I took him to the Landlord Tenant Board and managed to get an extension to April (only because the hearing was set for March) but all he had to claim was he is moving in. During this time I kept paying rent. I had to move out but kept an eye on him as I had friends in this building. He had a sister move in and rented out after the first year was up. While at the LTB hearing, EVERY case before me was scammer tenant who did not pay their rent for months. There were no evictions handed out. The judge just had them promise to pay and they were let off.
If tenant was visually seen moving out with uhaul and belongings then the tenant friends are trespassing. Simple as that.
Turn off the water. Turn off the power. Take the door off and get them out. Take matters into your own hands.
The Ford Government and LTB is encouraging and supporting tenants like this and the so called housing crisis will never be solved. Being a small landlord in Ontario is the biggest mistake I‘ve ever made in my life.
What do you think of Doug Ford's Green Belt corruption?
Is this conservatives showing us their plan for the future?
Housing in Canada is a Casino. Gamblers everywhere!
It's sick.. I can't bite my tongue around my aunt whom is a landlord.
"She doesn't live here anymore" . Change the locks and take possession, am I missing something here? I only rent to family and that isn't always as smooth as you may think.
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
Next steps?! Get out and goodbye. Pay your rent.
The tenant and landlord board is responsible for many landlords reluctance to rent their available real estate and increase in rent.
Who in their right mind would be a landlord anymore. Did it for 3 years. Never again! Tenant’s absolutely abusive and government doesn’t care penalizing us. Who wants to support housing policies where the owners assets are wrecked and abused.
Sadly there are lots of people buying many properies in order ot price gouge tenants and not provide any form the service they are supposed to.
16 months of living in unlivable conditions and slum landlords is too much
the biggest slum landlord is Toronto Community Housing.
Well it don't help when people don't pay rent. Expecting people to pay your heat and hydro and water for free not right all government assistance person need have the rent pay directly to the landlord.
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.
So show us your stuff Mr Ford.If you are letting this happen you are no better than the libs or ndp.
Ford is as corrupt as Trudeau. He will not do anything that would positively change anything
8000 condos for sale in the GTA right now. Investors (landlords) will not buy them as cash flows will be negative, or even with no mortgage especially since the regs/law is skewed heavily towards renters or non-paying renters!
Landlord have no right in Canada.i went thru the same garbage.
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.

One sided story landlords abuse their tenants too.
It is even worse in BC the RTB is 100% on tenants side. I had tenants who stopped paying rent for over 3 months, I did all the proper steps to serve them papers etc on time with the right process, it led to a hearing with the RTB, where all they did was talk to the mediator about their 6 month old "new born" for 20 minutes. We only had 30 minutes and lots of ground to cover in the hearing, to which they had arrived 10 minutes late. When I politely interupted, due to being at work and having booked only an hout off, and asked if we could tend to the matter at hand, the mediator said she didnt like my tone and found for the tenants and I had to pay them another $3,600. This coupled with the $12k in damages they did moving out left me broke. In BC you cant even appeal. I thought the mediator would be a law student or something but later found out they are just people who go down to he Hire Canada job board. Zero qualifications. The only peace of mind I had was that these people named their kid Seven or Sleven or something stoopid like that. When he grows up it will be my justice...LoL
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.
LTB is the worse thing to ever happen to the rental market, this is why we have a housing crisis because many landlords like myself don’t want to rent out our legal residence fearing tenants like that
This sort of situation is caused by the housing crisis. If y'all didn't expect tenants to pay your entire mortgage, this wouldn't be a problem, and didn't oppose every single increase in density for the last 40 years, we wouldn't be here. So stfu, you made your bed, now lay in it.
This.
Unfortunately it bites more than just the people expecting them to pay their mortgage.
Renting out property is a gamble and sometimes when you gamble you lose!
I have to pay for my house. My renter has to pay or good bye house. All is lost. Now we are all on the street 😢
Ask yourself where have all these people come from? Overloading our cities. While the Airbnb is doing a boomi business.
Lots of problems.
Thankfully the Liberal/ NDP government has enacted renter rights to protect them from predatory home owners trying to pay their mortgage.
$2400 for a one bedroom and $3000 for a 3 bedroom that is why..greed
Justice delayed is justice denied
I think if we put a two-year pause on immigration, then we’ll be enough time to build houses for everybody❤
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.
Her name is C word,😂
1:47 Omigosh ! A typical *Karen.*
Enough of this tenants bullying landlords nonsense.
Meanwhile when I rented my apt on Don Mills and Lawrence yrs ago the owner/landlord was also lawyer and they had a 7 ft goon that accompanied him to talk to negligent renters in the building and they would "convince" the tenant to move out by the end of the month and they would owe nothing if they did so. Never saw a cop called on them or any backlash. Try that as a homeowner, 8-12 months should be a crime and put on a list everyone can access online for deadbeats.
*GOOD!*
I am a landlord and this does not happen in my province. I provide a service and you pay. Very simple concept.
Alberta?
Owing property sucks in socialist Canada.
Sucks for that landlord. Hey, got any stories of nightmare landlords? Slumlord landlords?
Yeah, go visit a Toronto Community Housing project.
Going through the same thing.
Someone tell this woman to write a lease for a friend for the address and then have the people who do not have a lease removed by the police
There is way more to this story that Mrs Seward is not saying. A person can’t live in a place when locks where changed. The rent payment was offered and refused by Mrs Seward. There was vital services cut off to force people out, there was thief of personal things, even when there was a order from the LTB. There was a request of review, if the LTB felt there is no reason for this review they would have never made it. Then here we are yet again the same thing is happening with the locks. The tenant has been doing things right by going to the LTB, the only thing wrong is the rent. This is less then half of the things that Mrs Seward has done.
you keep calling the woman C word its not nice
Seward
Same here in USA
We paid rent for 4 yrs, while our landlord forced us out on Mothers day 2024, because the landlord wanted way more money than we paid after he bought the placed signed agreement to keep 2, 63 year olds there. No justice when it comes to more money.
Kenora Ontario is bad for people taking advantage of no housing. Wheres the heart for ppl who do pay rent, keep the place clean...
Government should control housing. How much sense does it make for someone who cant get a mortgage to pay a Landlords mortgage. Rent is a scam and that's why people don't feel bad screwing over landlords. Also, a lot of good that petty sign does considering the tenant is long gone.
Agree ,,,, renting cost now very high around 3000 CAD for downtown house in Windsor!!!! I am sure the renters are paying one and last month then they will stop paying
Exactly the petty sign just shows who’s the ahole of the situation. Landlords deserve it.
Not at all. Rent is just a small price to pay to live in the big city where people tend to move a lot making it impractical to own.
@@shauncameron8390 The big city is where opportunity is.
It is also where mental health crisis is too, but it's also VERY present in rural communities (with fewer resources).
Check out the rates of "unavailing" in Northern Ab, and tell me there are no issue with rural communities.
@@shauncameron8390 People move to the cities because there are jobs there.
If you have a job outside the city to offer me, and a place to rent rn I will take you up. I honestly don't like the city.
Oh wait... I don't have a car. Does your area outside the big city have public transportation?
Anyone wondering why people are leaving Canada and not wanting to move to Canada.. This is why as small businesses like being landlord is not supported by the government or welcome even. Loosing 16 months of rent is no joke.. Not to mention the high rate of vehicle theft.. Ontario has being ruined.Rules should be simple no rent paid instant eviction authorization to police, the tenant can go to court later if they think it was ok to not pay rent on time.Try doing that to your phone provider they will cut off your line instantly for failure to pay monthly bill. The politicians and leaders should be ashamed of themselves who are in charge of the provinces well being..
Being a landlord shouldn't be a buisness.....
Of course you shouldn't be being scammed out of rent, but if you go into something that everyone needs to live, as a buisnes... there's something wrong.
this is horrible
So, the tenant moved out, no longer responsible to pay rent since the date of moving out. Whoever is inside, are not tenants and that is the issue, not the previous tenant with exception of any months she didn’t pay while living there.
You ,can not Rent a One Family house ,and expect No Problem!...One, family homes are the biggest hazard in Tennent Rental Nationwide Problems and future Law Suites!
If I take a single step onto someone else's property, they can deem that trespassing and I am breaking the law. This should be held to the same standard.
Too many landlords drive the costs up and now you have huge corporations involved
My rent is geared to income. The max I pay is $1200 for a whole house. Everyone who rents should only be paying that much or less.
You all think this is news? I had tenants who wanted to THROW ME OUT OF THE HOUSE!!! This country is freak'n strange!! They wanted the entire house so I billed them them down payment amount of $70K, then moving forward, I would bill them the MONTHLY MORTGAGE AMOUNT, ALL THE TAXES, ALL THE BILLS and ALL THE UPKEEP. That shut them up for a month or two, then of course came the "boot" to the "head" and an eviction notice.
I don't give a rat's a** about landlords. Everyone should own one home and being a landlord should be a criminal activity. Cry me a river
The real problem is landlords doing renovoicetions
then dont rent ....
If you don't like being a landlord then get out of the business.
Just change the locks. Take possession of the place if you need to. I don't see any legal barriers to rent to another occupant. Take your losses and move on. This homeowner is lucky the former tenant moved out instead of squatting.
What she can do is lower the rent substantially and then raise it to market rate as part of a legal housing contract once she gets the place fixed up. I understand that will be a big leap of faith, but it she rents it to somebody she knows and trusts it will be for the better.
Otherwise, she will have to fix the place in order to command market rent. Unfortunately this stuff happens to both sides! Hopefully she will find a respectful and responsible renter.
Home crisis is big issuue in CANADA . JUSTIN T needs to resign ASAP
Take their government cheques away from tenants who are not paying rent.
If they just made it a chargeable offence to withhold rent like this, or even better automatic evictions after 90 days, then these problems wouldn’t happen, landlords would be way more likely to rent out to people instead of having such strict testing, overall just much better, also this whole civil matter/LTB needs to be abolished, it is a single reason why this system has spiralled out of control, landlords should be able to use the police to evict people
good for her
She packed her stuff and left she doesn't live here anymore but your still expecting her to pay rent after she left? That doesn't sound right? What?
Sorry, there has been a housing crisis for the last 40 years!
This crisis didn't suddenly happen or appear iether!
Property management companies ! Small rental companies agencies and the small landlord have all jumped on board the greed train!
Ford removed rental controls and still hasn't explained the rationality behind his parties' brainstorming of an idea!
Supply and demand from toilet paper to water waa the first indication during the pandemic, which an ready depleted affordable rental market those who have any vacancies raised the rents to cover their expenses!!
Rent is unreasonable high ,,,, that’s expected especially the new rent ,,, I saw tiny houses for 3000 CAD in Windsor!!! Do u think this is sustainable?
A few years ago a tiny dirt DRIVEWAY is for sale at over 400 000$
A studio bedroom is about 2000$ rn. Man a house for 3000$ is a steal.
In UK right weeks in arrears is a reasonable excuse for eviction. Tenancy Agreements are rarely read by tenants. They should have it read to them before occupation and asked to sign to the Agreement which illustrates they comprehend the two-way contract. A contract is a legal document. It's there for both sides to take issue in line with the signed Agreement. Simple.
Our government is so useless.
I am so sick of awful tenants while there's us great tenants that are paying $25 thousand a yr in rent in a effing Howard Johnson in Niagara falls Ontario
Keep your title handy to prove you are the owner…stop paying all utilities if you are. Open the door with a locksmith, and turn it into a sports bar…organize all big strong teams ready to come with you to party day and night or your seedy friends to party and play loud music day and night…eventually the 3/p leaves. You may want to supply a few beverages. Be ready to change locks when they uninvited start leaving. Check getting rid of non paying tenants in US.
Stop paying gas/electricity bills/water bills. Let the city cut off these and they wil run!
Gotta love our Canadian laws 🤬
Land lords are going to end up owning liabilities now
"Law should be simple "You stay, you pay". Best is not to trust people. People are horrible. Government and bad tenanats can take their housung crisis and shove it. Just stop renting.
All landlords should obtain a rental guarantee insurance before renting, talk to your insurance broker.
Tenants about 10% are very deceptive. At that time,court decision or reference checks do not help. The renters do damage and disapper. 😅
Certainly sounds like a Government issue. Imagine my shock.
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.
@@JEdwarrd Taxpayers owe you nothing. Get a job.
@@georgesimon6041 Thank you, I am working from home right now, and I pay my taxes. Perhaps you adjust your attitude & address my comment rather than talking down to me b/c you can't seem to engage in logical conversation.
@@georgesimon6041 Hey sorry to bug you, haven't heard from you about your job offer. Where should I send my resume? Like I said as long as it's not litterally scamming people (Lying to them to get them to buy or do something) I'm down for it.
No no invest your money in Canada 😂😂😂
Canadian laws presently allow tenants to not pay rent, trash the property, refuse to leave, even have the police called on you. BUT if the landlord physically tries to remove you, enters the house and changes the locks or throws all your belonging to the curb, the landlord will face criminal charges. Landlords are left to depend on a broken LTB to rectify the situation before the bank forecloses. Then you will see how quickly squatters are physically removed from a foreclosure.
Bright side, Trudeau will spend billions and billions *if* he gets re-elected to not only bankrupt Canadians, but to fund committees to look at ways to meet housing build targets. Like the billions he spent already that has lead to ZERO homes and according to his housing minister, it was never meant to actually fund home builds...
ok end of my rant LoL
It also presently allows landlords to charge 2000+$ for a STUDIO apartment. Get away with attorcious living conditions that can be a health hazard. And kick them out for renovations at any time. And tenants just have to take it.
@@FluffyDragonDrawing New Brunswick has some nice places cheap-ish .. :+) I am thinking of moving there if I can find similarly paying work
Welcome to Canada. This is sad
