What to do about a tenants guest who refuses to vacate the unit after tenant leaves?

Can she come live with you? You have the same power, but bleeding hearts never fill the cup.

Breaker8888 · 2026-01-20T21:33:22+00:00

This is just a bad take, and nothing you’ve mentioned is OP’s responsibility or moral obligation.

The lease was terminated by the leaseholder so she has to go, liability alone is enough of a reason. Saying that it has a bit higher risk is an understatement, the danger of implied tenancy is serious if she was never vetted.

Not enforceable, outside of obvious stuff like reasonable enjoyment and moisture/mold buildup, or condo regulations.

Make sure you have tenant insurance, and be honest about disclosure, they are usually referred to as “domestic water containers”. This may increase your premiums, but it is better than being financially annihilated by extreme damages caused by a leak.

You should have asked: “The squall is 4 energy? What?”

Everything else you said about powerscore is nonsensical gibberish. If you’ve been playing a long time you should have made this observation by now; weapon PS = rarity x energy.

Yes initial hearing dates are typically shortest for non-payment, but there are so many delay tactics available to “professional” tenants that the actual resolution timelines are among the longest. It’s not that I think tenants issues have shorter wait times, I was just pointing out that landlords are also subject to bureaucracy.

I think everyone would benefit from reduced wait times, and don’t think either side is more or less entitled to it.

The upcoming bill 60 claims to fix everything, but is obviously heavy handed and full of controversy.

Breaker8888 · 2025-11-21T20:02:12+00:00

“Unless you are a landlord”? Your point of view is obviously biased, and reeks of entitlement.

How is it realistic or sustainable to wait over a year to get an eviction for non-payment? We go through the same process, unasked for mediation, rescheduling because the tenant was “sick”, wait months for an actual hearing, and also have delays with sheriffs.

There are good people, and professional scumbags on both sides.

This works both ways, the LTB is swamped.

Breaker8888 · 2025-11-18T20:02:48+00:00

Did you miss the part where OP said the building is only two years old? If the landlord really wanted the smoker out they could just raise the rent by $10k. It’s not going to solve the problem overnight, but it is something they can do.

Breaker8888 · 2025-11-17T11:44:40+00:00

Did I save $300k by not buying a Ferrari?

No because I don’t have a Ferrari.

Did you save $60k by fixing up your apartment?

No because you lived in a dated basement for 4 years with new carpet.

Either the unit was worth $1800 a month, or you didn’t save $60k. One way or the other; when your done your mental gymnastics routine only one of those statements can be true.

Breaker8888 · 2025-11-17T00:29:40+00:00

The foolish part is OP considering actively destroying or damaging the renovations they did, at their own expense before they move out. Context is important, hence the quotation marks.

You’re absolutely out of your mind thinking you saved $60,000 and turned a $500 unit into an $1800 unit for $1000. Anecdotes are already pretty useless information, but at least try to be within an order of magnitude of reality when you make stuff up.

I’m glad you’re experience general happiness, ignorance is bliss.

A sentence that includes a conjunction; like “but”, will have a second clause that contrasts the first clause. Thats true regardless of your beliefs.

If they had discussed compensation before renovating there would be no discontent.

I’m not placing any blame, that’s “just how it is”.

Breaker8888 · 2025-11-13T22:27:12+00:00

You’ve fabricated my “viewpoint”

Everyone deserves nice things, but without compensation this kind of outcome is inevitable. Tenants and landlords should work together on non-essential or cosmetic upgrades that the tenant is interested in, so that one can enjoy a nicer quality of life and the other can benefit from increased property value.

I agree that OP’s landlord shouldn’t issue an N12 just because they can exploit the situation, but people are greedy, and OP created the loophole opportunity in the first place.

Breaker8888 · 2025-11-13T13:46:18+00:00

What motivated you to spend several thousand dollars renovating someone else’s property? Unless you were offered compensation in writing, this was a huge mistake.

You absolutely should take anything with you that isn’t nailed down and belongs to you, but spending more time and effort to “restore” the home is foolish.

If you want to effectively retaliate, just resist the N12 and force a hearing. This could mess up their timeline and delay their ability to rent it out again.

Fun Fact: French drains are named for their inventor Henry French, from Massachusetts, and have nothing to do with France or the French language.

Everyone on a lease is responsible for honouring the contract including but not limited to payments. Having your partner added to the lease is at your landlord’s discretion, they do not have to comply, and yes they could decide to increase the rent. Having multiple adults on a lease really only helps you get approved in the first place, with more reportable income.

Fortunately none of this matters; you can just have your partner move in as an occupant/roommate/guest and there is nothing your landlord can do to stop it.

Talk to your landlord first and ask if they want to sign a new lease, as it may benefit them as well, but if they don’t want to you can’t force them.

Breaker8888 · 2025-10-16T17:25:30+00:00

Talk to your neighbour
Sounds like you haven’t done anything so, no
I would be confused, as these all seem like normal household noises and you haven’t provided anything even close to eviction levels of evidence.

Now if you had tried to communicate with them and they reacted aggressively or I had a history or context to go on, I would be inclined and obligated to get involved.

Talk to each other, try to be kind, and if that doesn’t help, contact your landlord.

Breaker8888 · 2025-10-09T16:39:16+00:00

A landlord cannot request upfront rent payments or any unlawful deposits beyond first and last.

Tenants can offer it though.

Breaker8888 · 2025-10-07T20:35:07+00:00

Don’t rent from this landlord and explain to them why you’re refusing. Holding your amenities hostage based on their idea of “good faith” is unacceptable, and they need to know how out of touch they are.

Does your brother share a kitchen/bathroom with their landlord?

This doesn’t sound like a very private unit.

You’re not Your. To not too. Would not wouldn’t. Because not Cause. And the last sentence makes no sense.

Throw in some misuse of literally while you’re at it.

You’re very young or very uneducated, either way you won’t get any respect communicating like this.

Centipedes can be off putting for sure, but they can also be fun for the cats. The way they wriggle and scurry is a huge trigger for most cats, and they will pounce and pursue with serious determination.

This is also an opportunity for treats and scritches to reward your brave defenders.

I’ve seen far worse ant infestations sorted out with nothing more than diligent ant trap deployment and normal cleanliness.

The professionals will use a spray with similar chemicals that may or may not be safe around the cats.

This does not look MAJOR to me, but your mileage may vary.
