Landlord Tenant Issues

[BrianPersaud]

Tune into Rogers TV`s Inside Toronto Real Estate on Wednesday, December 8th 2010 at 7:00 PM as we investigate landlord and tenant issues.

MPP Di Novo is introducing a private members bill at Queens Park that will give tenants more protection, notably:

* prohibition of landlords increasing rents more than the Ontario government guidelines for any circumstance (including if an old tenant vacates a property and new one arrives or the landlord has performed significant upgrades).

* Requiring all landlords to be licensed and have units to be inspected


April "The Terminator" Stewart feels the system is already weighted in the tenants favour. Today, more than ever, deadbeat renters are taking advantage of the system, costing landlords in Ontario millions.

If you are a tenant or a landlord this is a must see.

What can we as landlords do to change things? ON is especially worse for landlords and the losses we suffer because of non-paying, disrespectful tenants is paralyzing. US people laugh when we tell them we are not allowed to take damage deposits.

You can get involved. Contact your MPP to get the rules changed. Provide solutions and get other area landlords to do the same.



This is on top of screening tenants really well and be efficient/effective manager of paperwork to get bad ones out quickly



I blogged about it previously

Hi Rasna,



I posted a copy of what I wrote to my MPPs on my blog:

Ontario Bill 112 ` Making Matters Worse for Landlords



Feel free to use this as a template as a guide to writing your own letter(s).

make sure to send a copy of your letter to Cheri DiNova, the Pardale MPP that created the bill.

Thanks! I will do that today itself.


This should be on the main discussion board and everyone on REIN should send it I think.
