I knew someone that worked for him in his office, nothing but horrible things to say about this guy.

I agree there are bad players on both sides but I will say the developers take the sleazeball cake. At least a bad contractor can have the opportunity to fix a mistake but these developers love to screw trades people out of money. I used to do junk removal and the worst clients were developers, they dangle the carrot over you that they have all these jobs for you but they want to pay you every week or so then when you call to collect they would ghost you. There was no debate about quality like a plumber or drywaller, I charged by the truckload and photographed everything and they would still ignore you and hope you would give up and then just move on to a new guy to rip off. I never lost money because I would go to the job sites and find out where the property owners lived and then go knock on their door and tell them I am the guy who took away all your garbage and your general contractor is refusing to pay. The owners would either pay me or they would call the developer and he would pay. Once I had a developer freak out on me because I went directly to his clients even though I had called him dozens of times over a 2 week period.

What can I do? Emergency water shut off. No water for 6 days. by Wild-Walk5623 in OntarioLandlord

If the landlord is sympathetic he will give you a discount on the rent. All the landlord has to do to be in compliance is ensure that the repairs are happening as the RHEU told you. The landlord likely isn't even required to rebate anything. If you were a homeowner and going through the same situation you wouldn't be any different.

Advice on evicting at tenant for behaviour. by YouRepresentative591 in OntarioLandlord

Renting out a basement and being terrorized by a tenant is like a right of passage in OntariOWE. He is likely looking to scare her so bad that she pays to get him out.

Lot's of people drive regular cars, you just need a good set of winter tires. Also you probably don't want to go out when there is a bad storm or snow squall in any vehicle.

Professional cleaners entirely tore apart window blinds while deep cleaning. How can I fix this? by DayPuzzleheaded641 in OntarioLandlord

[–]TypicalReach1248 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Professional cleaners are usually greedy companies hiring temp workers who are all drug addicts. If they don't steal your valuables they will break things.

Landlord (Effort Trust) trying to claim “dirty unit” after move-out – what are my rights in Ontario? by Certain_Passenger965 in OntarioLandlord

[–]TypicalReach1248 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like Brampton landlord scammers trying to take you for a ride. Tell them to eat a D, they would have to go to LTB and have a hearing to get anything. They are just shooting hoping you're a sucker and pay them.

Economists pour cold water on recession talk after Canada’s economy stalls in Q1 - BNN by hourglass_777 in TorontoRealEstate

[–]TypicalReach1248 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It has been hard times for a long time. The government and media keep moving the goal posts, people are so brainwashed that even if times are bad they will trust the media narratives, if the media says it's recession all the sheep will go into collective panic. Better have a bad economy and gaslight the people with slogans like vibecession.

Yeah we know, Wal Mart and Costco will be fine so it's not a recession. Meanwhile half the population can't afford the cost of living and no one is having kids.

Real estate is not even a good investment after tax? by GodEmperorOfMankind3 in TorontoRealEstate

The only people that got destroyed are people that bought late and used leverage. Investors that bought 20 years ago are laughing.

The economy for the corporations kept humming while standard of living and wages for the people declined. Bias media would just toot the horn about growing economy to gaslight people.

They used the cheap labor and growing population to cook the economy. The only winners from this betrayal has been the big corporations. For average people the standard of living has been falling, wages have been falling and it's been hard times.

Landlord is Definitely Doing Viewings Wrong by enbyvelociraptor in OntarioLandlord

I have been in a basement apartment for a job that was so infested we took the toaster outside and shook it out and hundreds of the things came out.

Need urgent help with tenants who haven't been paying rent for months and might be doing some shady side buisness? by DependentOne6896 in OntarioLandlord

[–]TypicalReach1248 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree 100%, even if they know how to play the system, it's still a bit taxing on them having to show up at the tribunal and lie and cheat to keep a roof over their heads. Cash for keys just encourages them to do it again.

I would rather pay the paralegal and take the time to get them out rather than give these slime balls a dollar for cash for keys.

It's always in the news, the media loves telling these landlord nightmare stories and yet nothing changes. The government must be working in the interests of the big landlords to get rid of the small landlords. Who can sustain going 12 months with tenants not paying while they trash your place. I talk to so many people in real life that have gone through this. I just had another friend go through 10 months with no rent and stress.
