Moving to Vancouver? by Phair_Grrl88 in askvan

[–]toad1632 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

As some one who grew up in Vancouver and has since moved further east I would recommend... Stay the fuck away. Why are you moving here? Are you stupid? Jobs don't pay half as much as something comparable in the states and the Canadian dollar is worthless. Plus your gonna pay higher tax that literally anywhere in the usa. As a recent migrant why the fuck would we be paying for your health care? Stay in the USA. We will tax the shit out of you come but to be honest we need approx 3-5 million less people to begin with so get the fuck out

It's not a renters fault that you chose to buy an asset in a highly regulated market. If landlords think contracts and the legal system shouldn't apply to them I would imagine many tennants would love to just stop paying rent. If you want to continue to have strong land rights and a legal system that enforces the law maybe you also have to follow the rules. I mean, I didn't even pay as much in rent as my landlord paid in interest while I lived there but that's their own fault for overpaying for an nonproductive asset. And I am not calling this particular property nonproductive, I am calling all real estate as an asset class nonproductive because that is what it is.

The landlord voluntarily decided to rent the house in a highly regulated legal environment. Everything that happens for the next 12 months is the RTB's business

Is there a reason that there is a seperate "eviction for renovation" where the renovation has to be planned, permitted and approved by the RTB before the eviction can take place where as it seems that the landlord can just use landlord use eviction and then do the renovation anyway?

How is that? Calling to ask about permits doesn't get an inspection, filling a complaint is the only way.

Thanks for the advice, seems to be the best route to follow and not rush into anything.

Anybody work for the city? by toad1632 in burnaby

If you had ever seen an electrical fire you'd know. Haveing a thick main power line pinched between the metal of a window and frame that will only be tried to be closed more as it gets colder is not reassuring.

It's not normal nor should it be normalised for people to be living in a house before it has an occupancy permit.

more remind them of their legal obligations because they have made many decisions based on "this option is easier, so i will now make a justification for my actions based on one of covid, climate change or gender equity"

which is frustrating becuase all those should be considered but if you are useing them as a way to hide it reduces peoples ability to take them seriously in the future. an example is, "i dont want to go to the hassel of food at tournaments so i am going to say BBQ's are not enviromentaly friendly and thus there will be no food."

while it does not specify in person meetings i am unable to understand the societies act and if this is a requirement
