Do Your Research Before Renting Out Your Space

[Rickson9]

For anybody who has an interest in the topic of screening their own tenants:

"Trying to evict a tenant who is damaging the premises or interfering with the enjoyment of the other tenants can typically take two months, and that’s when there are no significant delays. Unfortunately, professional tenants who know how to work the legal system can delay proceedings by up to six months. Such tenants can cause severe financial hardship for landlords."

Thank you for that Rickson9. It`s always a big surprise when the Toronto Star writes something helpful for landlords in Ontario.

Screening is important
The vast majority of people have an ingrained prejudice against landlord`s and articles showing a realistic picture of landlording are few and far between.
Justice delayed is justice denied.... unfortunately non-housing issues are slow to resolve also...
