I did go over an look at the decisions of the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal Decisions at Canlii http://www.canlii.org/en/on/onhrt/nav/date/2010_06.html I went through a number of months and discover very few cases brought by tenants, maybe one per month. In every such case the tenant abandoned...

Not to mention #7 here in Canada we have no such access to information about a person`s past felony status. We can suspect but it is certainly impossible to legally verify unless it appeared in the news. John the problem with the REIN mantra of "we decided to give the place to someone else is...

Quite right HousingRental I would definitely not be attending the Human Rights Commission with that argument Having said that I do believe that a lot is characterized as intuition is picking up on subtle non verbal cues that are being expressed by the applicant. I have actually rented to...

We also had that in Ontario and thankfully it was removed. The rental stock continued to deteriorate as owners were forced to skimp on maintenance and service as the only way to make a profit. I was working in buildings at the time and it was brutal. One of the building had a policy that the...

Nickstar, How the law is written and applied often differ greatly. I will educate you on a basic tenet of law, specifically a law such as the Human Rights Code. Anyone can bring a case against another at any time. For instance I could file 20 cases at Small Claims for hurting my feelings...

Another discrimination lawsuit this time in the States. http://www.republican-eagle.com/event/article/id/67465/

Nickstar, Feel free to take your dogma back to the ontariolandlord forum instead of trying to attack me here. In Ontario there is no requirement to disclose a reason to turn down a rental application unlike certain States for example. The rental business is one of the most regulated...

Probably Tenant Verification Service is the fastest with no membership fee.

Ontario investors claim they have it worse, don`t you guys have rent control too?

QUOTE (Pabs @ Jun 23 2010, 10:53 AM) I`m planing on buying my first income property in Moncton (New Brunswick), where I`m currently located in. After looking at several duplex properties, my motivation has gone down because I haven`t found one that provides positive cashflow. I think one of the...

QUOTE (hongwei @ Jun 22 2010, 01:26 PM) Thanks a lot, Berubeland!! I will do the seach and get the paralegal for help. The troubled tenants have signed legal form N9 from the Landlord & Tenant Board in Ontario. is it right form? I saw someone signed N11. looks they are same, both is the...

You need to hire a paralegal and go through the legal process of eviction. I`m not sure which forms you gave them if they are not the proper legal forms from the Landlord & Tenant Board you will have to start over. Bring all the forms you have to your paralegal pronto. You can do this process...

I`m not sure why you`d want to do this. If these dogs cause damage 30$ per month is not going to cover it. You can agree to whatever rent you`d like with your tenants before the lease. In Ontario all "no pet clauses in leases are void" I`m of the opinion that landlords who don`t allow pets...

I actually like the form it has a lot of important information for Landlords about their responsibilities. Believe me a bad tenant wouldn`t need the form to find the landlord & tenant board they already know where it is.

If you are in Ontario you must put an address for service of documents on the lease. I would recommend using your home address in case someone actually sends you something. If you are going to be a landlord for years imagine the extra work of going and checking a PO box for years. If ever you...

I`m a property manager and I also lease up lots of apartments that is my primary business. I also spent many years doing evictions for a rental agency i worked for and then a low income/vacancy problem building in a bad area. OntarioLandlord is being alarmist. 99.9% of tenants have no interest...

You might try putting up a sign on the building bulletin board, putting an ad in the paper in the real estate section, craigslist.

My understanding is that commercial buildings require a personal guarantee from the lender. Even great cash flowing ones require a lot more equity than the down payment.

UGGGHHH the article quotes "Derek A Lobo" a guy who still owes me $800 in commission from when I worked for him. I worked in a building at 3400 Riverspray in Mississauga owned by Westwood properties. In 4 months I had 6 supervisors and the property manager was constantly walking into my office...

LMAO at the wife factor. My hubby has our tv so complicated now that I need a PHD just to figure it out. I really like when he changes it up a little just to keep it interesting. If he ran away or got hit by a bus there`s no way I would be able to keep this system up. If he started...
