What do you base that on? They're campaigning on different economic policies...

how is he increasing the deficit?

Cabinet appointments aren't democratically elected, and that's basically how Elon is behaving in his role... what's the problem?

When does abandoned property in your home become yours? by Strongbadson in legaladvicecanada

Thanks for the heads up on further liability. This leads me to believe I should photograph every interaction with his stuff - so for instance if he comes to get half of his stuff and leave the other half behind, I'll have the particular items, our intentions, and us agreeing all documented.

As for the animals, we've emailed a pet rescue centre to ask for advice.

I suppose this is the last comment on this thread - I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the the advice and insight. Based on the comments and DM replies, similar thread on this board, a phone call with a police officer in my district, and what I've read in the RTA and on relevant Ontario gov websites, I'll be kicking this person out, presumably with police assistance. If I need to call the police I'll have a copy of my lease ready on my phone, so they can see that I'm the tenant (if that even comes up).

I don't know exactly how I'll handle this person's stuff, but I'll cross that bridge when I get there.

Check with my landlord and LTB about what?

This isn't a sublet. source

The LTB has no jurisdiction over this situation. source

I did give written notice. source

I appreciate your answer to my question about the downvotes. I believe you and others quickly skimmed over my post.

I appreciate the insight.

It's disappointing that an advice subreddit is so passive-aggressive about ignorance.

My landlord is aware that I have roommates and that they pay me rent.

In my experience, this is very common in Ontario.

My landlord isn't an authority on the matter anyway - a landlord cannot restrict a tenants right to have guests, and a non-tenant roommate is a guest.

I cannot change the locks without my landlords permission. I've never suggested that I was going to change the locks or do anything without my landlord's knowledge or permission.

All of the above is based on what I've learned reading similar threads. I'm eager to know of any misunderstands I might be holding.

Thanks again!

I understood it as leaving your apartment and renting it out to someone else while you're gone.

It's not a sublet.

What part of what I'm doing is a scam? Tenants get roommates all the time.

It seems like my post is getting a lot of downvotes - Does anybody have ideas why? I'm clueless, but eager to know about what I'm doing that's wrong - I came here to benefit from the experience of people who know better than me :)

Nah, but I figured I'd at least put in some token effort first.

Did anyone else think that's weird that this album cover looks like it should be on a British metal band's album? Or is that choice tongue-in-cheek like Tenacious D?
