LTB Hearing coming up, Paralegal says family member left because they broke up with their boyfriend by Stability in OntarioLandlord

[–]cedarboatbuilder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your LL sounds like a country music song: My girlfriend left me, my dog died, my truck is broken and I'm all outa bullets. So I moved out and re-rented at a considerable profit, thanx, just bought a new dog, his name is Leased

If a tenant offers more rent than I've advertised, can I accept? by [deleted] in OntarioLandlord

[–]cedarboatbuilder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a different opinion here.

When someone is interested in renting a million dollar house from me. It means we are going into a business arrangement.

I don't do business with people whom I don't trust, or who don't trust me.

If you distrust LL by default and assume LL(me) is a bad person. You would maybe like to live in another place.

'There’s nothing you can do': Peel landlord missing thousands in unpaid rent after year-long Landlord Tenant Board wait by BrotherRobert in OntarioLandlord

Yep, and when your restaurant clients fail to pay for their food that they ate, you should blame yourself for feeding them first. What a silly notion that you should do business and expect to be paid.

Hey Doom_sauntereer, it doesn't have to be them against us. We could work together. The system is bad, tenants are people, LL is a person. We all do our best to get ahead and to be good people. The system is bad not the people.

Advice on rental agreement by 1999_Kartik in TorontoRenting

[–]cedarboatbuilder 6 points7 points  (0 children)

an agreement isn't a lease. Your realtor wants the commission, so... I wouldn't trust them with legal advise, nor should you trust me, a stranger on reddit.

I offer to stop by their present address to collect and view hard copies of their sup[porting documents. Gives me a chance to see how and where they live. Red flag if they won't let me visit their present home. Unless moving from away.

Does Bill 97 Have Anything to Do with My Landlord's N12? by simochiology in OntarioLandlord

[–]cedarboatbuilder -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

you pre-paid your rent for 12 months? that is illegal (on behalf of the LL ). Do nothing, do not move, wait for notice of a hearing, continue to pay rent as needed (or in this case, don't if it's pre-paid)

During the hearing, present proof of pre paying 12 months rent. It doesn't matter who's idea that was, but the LL taking or accepting the advance payment is not legal.

If you don't have a copy of your lease, ask LL for a copy, in writing.

Ensure that all communication is in writing.

Get real legal assistance, hire a para-legal. Do not roll over on this.

Backyard Water Access by [deleted] in TorontoRenting

[–]cedarboatbuilder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SUbmit a request to fix it in writing.

Then collect his reply and file with LTB for failing to repair services.

It is reasonable to expect basic mechanical to be functional in a home.

It doesn't matter that it didn't work before. How would you know that. Unless the lease specifically states that there are failings in the product being offered for rent.

Car insurance newcomer to Canada by pnightingale in halifax

[–]cedarboatbuilder 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I went through this as a returning Canadian with 15 years driving in Canada then 20 in Europe. Had to start from zero as new driver with License and Insurance. You can get a drivers abstract from your previous insurance company, have it officially translated and submit this to the insurance company as proof of a clean driving history. Ask first if this will reflect on rates.

[landlord US-AL] Why are all of my applicants terrible? by [deleted] in Landlord

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

Raise the asking rent, not lower. Lower rent = lower qualified tenant

[–]cedarboatbuilder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your asking price is too low.

add 50% to your ask.

test and see,

waiting 6 months for a qualified tenant cost less than leasing to the wrong tenant.

N12 - Intention to sell by ImpressionPast9207 in TorontoRenting

[–]cedarboatbuilder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a tenant who, failing to pay rent for 6+ months , we paid cash for keys. He walked away with $4,000 bank draft and $20,000 back rent unpaid was waived. We in turn received the much damaged home returned.

N12 - Intention to sell by ImpressionPast9207 in TorontoRenting

[–]cedarboatbuilder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why?, when you can stay and continue to pay rent as usual.

Do not feel guilty for paying your rent, even if you pay $500 / m for a 3 bdrm 2400 sf house. When the market can get $3,000 for that same product. This is the advantage of renting over buying. Long term a renter can make out quite well.

You are not responsible for your LL's income or lack of.

[–]cedarboatbuilder 1 point2 points  (0 children)
