    One sided documentation requests: tenants are required to provide all sorts of documents, like proof of income, references. Landlord usually doesn't provide anything, no proof that he is the actual owner. Also, landlord does not provide references from previous tenants. Completely one sided against the tenant. No surprise fake landlords can get away with anything.

      @@barthalomeowthegreat8470 Indeed, it is brilliant. We rate everything else, so why not landlords...and make them use their real identities, not some cowardly corporation number. I also believe that landlords should be citizens who actually live in the same building where they rent.

    Most of the ads on Kijiji, and Craigslist are questionable. You all have to be very careful.
    There was one time I respond to a job posting. I got a reply right away that the posting is filled. The email was full of mistakes and very unprofessional. But the posting was still on Kijiji. The next thing I know my information was sold. I got all kind of scam calls, emails and text. The next two weeks another job posting, same description but under a different company. I flaged the posting but Kijiji refused to remove the posting, so I called the cops. All these scammers are using fake job postings to collect personal information.

    I was scammed by this same girl. With this same advert. I paid $2000 for the 1st and last month's rent to start July 1st . We signed the lease since May 30th.. She lied about her job , her current house address and unit number, she even created an email address and sent me mortgage documents for that house from a top bank. She sent me her intl passport too. We signed the lease and she gave me the fake story that the tenants won't be moving too, she even drafted a letter from a so-called make-belief lawyer to cover compensations for the delay in my move in date till July 10th (airbnb and storage) . Thank goodness I found out before it was too late. I went there thrice to inspect the house and I pleaded with her consistently not to waste my time if it was a scam. When I finally confronted her, she had no single remorse and I made sure she paid my money back. I pray the law catches up with her. She's a very wicked and heartless young lady.

    The real problem is the housing market and even renting is way to expensive. It's the governments fault for letting it get this bad, landlords charge way too much were talking 1200 per month for something very basic in my city of Hamilton. The cost of the living and taxes are super high as well, Canada is done as a country the rich took everything from us and killed this country.

    I will check the landlord out on the internet. I will never pay for a place without looking at it first. I want to meet the other tenants living there or talk with them over the phone. I want to see the landlord's I.D. and I want to see the documents that they own or rent the place. I also want our interaction to be on video when I go to meet them and look at the place. You can't be too careful. Thankfully I have a cool roommate/landlord who I've been renting from for five years.

    The problem is tenants cannot check the landlords out! Everything is one sided. Landlords make us give them information but if tenants ask for landlords id, information they deny us. We are desperate for housing so we have no choice! Landlords need to be checked out! Because this is serious, innocent people can end up on the streets and then homeless because they lost all their money, now have to move their things in storage.
