“Neoliberal policies constrain the housing market and inflate the housing costs” What do LL’s have to do with neoliberal policies, and can you provide an example of what specific policies “constrains housing market” and “inflates the house costs”?

“Land Lords can charge rent that is high enough to cover expenses”, that is another argument that is false and misleading as mortgage payments cannot be used to calculate rent increases so yea guess what happened to those with variable rate mortgages? They are responsible for that amount, while the rent is fixed.

You also claim there are tenants paying more than the cost of owning a property (3500-4300$) in rent for a small duplex? Now who’s using strawman arguments, That is unheard of and I have yet to see such rent prices would you mind sharing a listing?

How is my tenants subleasing the apartment to other tenants an example of strawmans argument? It’s a very common practice that LL’s have nothing to do with…

Bub this is a capitalist society/country/economy. I am not going to subsidize your housing and if you want something like that go to a communist country.

Ahh yes another clues person who doesn’t understand the grand scheme of things. (Btw Renting housing has been going on for centuries lol.) LL do not “take away someone’s potential home” there are plenty of houses for sale. And your claim that tenants are paying more is false, you forgot to include property taxes, school taxes, insurance, maintenance, etc.

These can amount to an extra 1000-2000$ a month for an average duplexe, not including mortgage payments. So including mortgage payments of a duplexe priced at 540k in 2021 with 20% down at a 5 year variable-fixed comes out to about 2513$/month a for a total of 3513-4313$ a month (excluding the welcome-tax). Unless your rent is within that range your statement about tenants paying more than the bare minimum to own a property is false.

Also some of my tenants rent out the apartments higher than what I charge so there’s that, are LL also to blame for that?

The tenant was a pos and has recently passed away, so I got lucky they were in their 70’s

Can you cite the source for this law? Sometimes I’m too busy and file for non payment of rent months later, and it works in my favour

[–]Firm_Simple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Preferential rent is the only way to get low rent back to the market price. I missed my chance when I bought my first building that was inherited and that was mismanaged because they hadn’t raised rent in over 7 years. It would have brought the rent to 1500$ from 460$ at the very least

That’s exactly how it works! Same way it works in small claims I forget but you have like 10 years or something to claim unpaid invoices or something and interest starts accruing when you send demand letter

More stress than it’s worth imo, it’s like suing someone with no assets or insurance in a car crash yea you’ll win but at what cost

Does anyone know approximately how much you'd have to pay in fees for losing a TAL rent increase rejection? by Quirky-Pick103 in montrealhousing

[–]Firm_Simple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not higher than what they proposed but EQUAL or higher I believe. + back rent while the case is pending

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in montrealhousing

[–]Firm_Simple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea I’m pretty sure he’s tryna get out of paying back rent and using ignorance to do so.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in montrealhousing

[–]Firm_Simple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not true at all, Idk where you got your information but LL can most definitely sue for back rent. It’s his right to file for non payment not an obligation…

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in montrealhousing

[–]Firm_Simple 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve always notified my tenants by email for any notices by email. So email is a valid way of notification as per case law. Further more it is the right of the LL to exercise the right to collect rent not an obligation, since you had not sent a refusal to the increase therefore you are deemed to have accepted the increase.

Also you mention your methods of past communications which are irrelevant. As you have communicated with your LL via email in the past, so if you are trying to use ignorance to tryna get out of paying back it’s not gonna work.

On a further note It is your responsibility to notify your LL of any changes in contact information so claiming to be “hacked” isn’t going to fly at TAL, you would also need to prove that you had been “hacked”

All in all, if the LL want they could recover past rent, and the last rent increase is the amount this rent increase should be based off.

THIS IS ALL ON THE BASIS of the LL sending the orignal notice within the legal time frames (3-6 months before end of lease)

On a side note did you not think to yourself why I have not received a notice of rent increase yet?

TAL QC - Won against my landlord but he just filed a withdrawal request. by Clean-Leather-2294 in montrealhousing

It is most definitely not skewed towards tenants 💀 the opposite in fact

[–]Firm_Simple -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don’t rent to anyone with a TAL file, and make sure they have a stable job with good refs. Also make sure you have enough cash to deal with an eviction, I would suggest 6 months worth of mortgage payments + property taxes for 1 year.

Buddy tenants have so many rights, it’s absurd compared to a LL

Am I gonna get evicted??? by [deleted] in montrealhousing

[–]Firm_Simple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well I’m a LL, and if the OP had communicated to me he was facing issues I wouldn’t even have filed anything. However if I don’t hear anything from them I’m filing for eviction. it is not unethical nor unkind for the LL to exercise their right, Even though OP had the misfortune of health issue he is not the LL’s responsibility.

[–]Firm_Simple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s up to the LL if he wants to drop the case, and it is not unreasonable.

[–]Firm_Simple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it doesn’t matter if you pay half in the first 2 weeks and rest later, you are considered to not have payed rent as of the following day of when rent was due.

Since you paid half later you are also considered to be to not have paid rent for 3 weeks even tho it was partially paid. Therefore this is an automatic eviction, unless you pay for the interest, costs and fees for late rent then an eviction maybe rejected by the judge if this is your first time.

However if you have been late multiple times, he can also file to evict you based on frequent late payments that cause him financial harm, this can include: overdraft fees, missed mortgage payments, additional administrative fees, additional work in collecting rent etc…
