The rent is over 2200 a month plus utilities and is another example of people biting off more then they can chew. This landlord thought this would be a cash coq and easy money but didn't see that being a landlord requires other thing such as proper maintenance. These tenant took the place thinking they could afford it but clearly they could or maybe lost employment either way could no longer afford it and instant find themselves in the same situation that is creating nonstop homeless in this city because there is almost nothing affordable to rent here. Either way you look at it it is a mess.
You know why rent is so high? Because these losers have nothing on paper, will never pay a time and the next tenant will be paying the landlord’s losses.
10 months, what a messed-up bureaucracy. They should have been booted out the door immediately for non payment or the government cover the losses. Landlords are not charities and have bills to pay.
They purposely dragged out the hearing knowing full well they couldn't afford it and had no intention of paying it but yeah lets blame the landlord who's carrying the mortgage for somebody else to live in it for free......
More bumpouts are the last thing this city needs, as that part of the city is already car unfriendly, another reason to avoid the area. This costly beautification as they call it is a bandage over the underlying problem of a crime infested area and in the end the tax payers get the bill. Lipstick on a pig.
A few decades ago when I rented I needed first and last month’s rent and proof of tenant insurance. I’d get an eviction threat on my door if my rent was over 24 hours late and had to provide post dated cheques. There were rules that had to be followed and consequences if we didn’t. Too bad it’s not like this anymore. We used to learn responsibility.
Good luck. Hope it all comes together as this should get more homeless off the streets, and give them some hope for a better life. I am curious to know how much this renovation will cost and where all the funds are coming from.
That’s it?? That many years of getting away with making other people’s lives miserable should come with equal amount of years of his life made miserable. You know any money won’t ever get paid back to his victims.
Don't worry the deadbeats will be ok they won't be able to pay anyway, and the landlord will have to eat the loss but he/she will at least be happy to get rid of these garbage individuals.
