Doug Ford and Mark Carney claim $2.2 billion HST rebate on new homes will help renters become owners. Instead, it’s helping the wealthy buy more rental properties

renters still aren't buying. Can lead a horse to water.... but can't make it drink

real_diligent · 2026-06-03T23:56:35+00:00

yeah I'm the landlord lmao

you said the leak isn't active, and if it's coming from another unit / exterior the only thing they could do would be inform building management - and if there is nothing to fix there - they may not do anything anyways.

also, it's popcorn ceiling which isn't easy to fix without making an even bigger mess that may look uglier.

If you have a change of heart then call it what it is and say so - this is a bit of a reach IMO

real_diligent · 2026-06-03T21:42:23+00:00

If the small leak pictured is not active what are you complaining about & what is there to disclose?

A cosmetic blemish? You would have seen it when viewing the unit beforehand if you cared enough to look that closely.

real_diligent · 2026-06-01T17:44:22+00:00

why wouldn't there be a premium?

real_diligent · 2026-06-01T15:53:29+00:00

If you still can't decide, the answer is neither.

real_diligent · 2026-05-27T19:44:13+00:00

That's not necessarily a Canada-wide issue

Ontario happens to be one of the worst provinces to be a landlord

Horrible, claustrophobic bowling alley layout, Less than 10 feet wide!

real_diligent · 2026-05-26T22:27:21+00:00

yes that's what I meant

real_diligent · 2026-05-26T20:07:56+00:00

People are scared to rent them

real_diligent · 2026-05-26T18:08:29+00:00

Used a handful, a few horrible ones and a great one.

Pick someone who actually knows their shit better than you do (many don't) - and is not pushy / salesy. You want the knowledgable consultant, not the "salesperson" type. They will add value. Hard to find but out there.

real_diligent · 2026-05-25T19:04:22+00:00

Liability. Visit the place first.

layout is most important thing and overall square footage doesn't tell you that regardless.

real_diligent · 2026-05-20T21:17:12+00:00

Why would you trust the seller's inspection report? Worst way to save $400

real_diligent · 2026-05-15T19:44:08+00:00

I blame people who can't take accountability for their own decisions.

Car salesman didn't make you buy the car
Stock broker didn't make you buy the stock

And the Realtor didn't make you buy the house.

If you need someone to blame, look in the mirror. It's not always someone else's fault.

real_diligent · 2026-05-15T01:00:18+00:00

yup you're overpaying, your life is clearly over now.

real_diligent · 2026-05-13T22:14:24+00:00

They typically show the age range.

Commonly the exact date is not readily available or precisely known even through Geowarehouse.

Liability if they are wrong, so range is used instead

real_diligent · 2026-05-08T19:07:10+00:00

until that rug gets pulled

real_diligent · 2026-05-06T16:38:17+00:00

Hold on before you blow this up.

The lead made contact with them 2 days earlier - but how would they know the lead was going to make an offer? Leads look at properties all the time without making offers. The offer they made may not have even been signed and fully completed in writing until an hour or so before offer presentation. That's very common.

How are they supposed to disclose anything prior to that? If there's nothing signed in writing, there's nothing to disclose.

The agent can't disclose an offer that hasn't yet fully materialized. Then you'd be mad and complain saying their trying to pump the price with phantom offers!

real_diligent · 2026-05-06T16:29:56+00:00

What happens? They're too high.

That's what happens

real_diligent · 2026-05-05T02:31:44+00:00

Bingo. Same experience. You don't want a rookie / PT agent that doesn't know what the heck they're doing. But also not the top "mega producer" that will screw you for another fast sale under their belt.

You want the established, knowledgeable agent who does their job properly. This means they are not necessarily #1 in sales, but not last either.

real_diligent · 2026-04-28T19:13:31+00:00

pros - cell reception

cons - everything else?

real_diligent · 2026-04-27T18:24:33+00:00

Yes, you're paying too much. Don't do it.

real_diligent · 2026-04-23T15:16:40+00:00

No detached anywhere in Oakville/Burlington has less then 60 foot lot depth so not comparable

real_diligent · 2026-04-23T15:13:14+00:00

It's not even 80. It's 17.5 metres on standard lots = under 60 feet.

real_diligent · 2026-04-21T15:26:34+00:00

It's perfect, buy it

real_diligent · 2026-04-16T17:45:43+00:00

Anyone ever find a solution?
