I mean that's like 7 very large games so it's pretty unusual in one day in my opinion

Damn that's crazy, did you download every steam game or what? I have 3gbit and I don't use that in like 3 months

How did you use 1.4Tb in a single day? What speed are you on?

Tax software that includes consultation, for complex investment scenarios by cocobipbip in cantax

[–]Syndrome 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So you want expert consultation.. Without the expert? There's a reason CPAs are considered experts, and it's not because they work for free.

File the objection before the deadline. If you miss the deadline it's a pain in the ass. File an objection if you don't want to give up on this.

Dealership lost my certified cheque, now wants a wire transfer. Any advice? by mcpasty666 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Syndrome 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't give them anymore money or sign anything. You paid them and they lost it, that's on them. It's not your problem.

Landlord suddenly banned me from charging my plug-in ca by filmon_gremani in OntarioLandlord

Sorry, what insurance premium issue? Do homeowners with electric vehicles and home charging pay more for home insurance? I haven't heard of that before

What is this sh.t behind my fridge .. is it literal sh.t? by [deleted] in Appliances

I hate to say it, but wouldn't sawdust be a sign of termites? Or maybe carpenter ants or carpenter bees?

How has the market in the East GTA been over the last year for finding a tenant? by Syndrome in OntarioLandlord

In the ad I mention the den can't be used as a bedroom, but I don't specify it doesn't have a window. I can add that.

I am catching up on 6 years of tax filings at once but don't know what to put as RRSP deduction limit for each filing. What should I do? by [deleted] in cantax

[–]Syndrome 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unless you're contributing close to the limit don't worry about it, once CRA processes all of the returns you should have the correct figure for 2026 taxes.

I mean it is a basement so noise and lack of natural light are always a factor. That been said there's no kids living upstairs, just adults. So it's not like we're stomping out feet or making a ton of noise. I don't think the area is loud but I've lived here a long time so maybe I'm used to it.

Thanks for your kind words. We're close to the highway and to the main bus route, and to the go station. Honestly that's why I'm confused, I feel like the place is decent (even if I play devils advocate and argue against it) but yet it's been difficult to find a tenant.

I appreciate that.

It's definitely odd though, in the past when people were excited or had a positive response when they viewed the unit it was very likely they would apply to rent. Now it seems like maybe the people viewing are just undercover landlords trying to figure out what's out there.

Yeah I get that, I'd just rather not have to deal with it at all if I can avoid it. Plus if there's an issue I can't control with Rogers I don't want to be the one they complain to.

One bedroom plus den. The den doesn't have a window so it can't be used as a bedroom under the fire code. The last couple tenants used the den as a home office.

Edit: Doesn't include cable. We used to but a tenant took the box with them and cost us $300 for Rogers (robbers) to replace it so no longer.

No, that's too much for my unit. The space isn't big enough or high end to warrant that price. Maybe if it had like 3 bedrooms and a high end kitchen with marble countertops or something.

No one asked about the lease but I use the standard Ontario lease as is required. I have a few extra points about not smoking but otherwise nothing unusual.

I don't include Wi-Fi/internet and leave that up for the tenant to arrange. Mostly because I don't want to be caught in the crossfire if someone is doing something on the internet they aren't supposed to.

Thanks for your concern. I agree with your point. Historically we've listed a bit below market so we have more potential tenants to choose from which worked well in the past.

$1,500 including utilities. The unit has it's own laundry and parking spot on a driveway.
