'I will never rent again': Ontario landlord speaks out after property destroyed 

Yuki no shingun

Not the police’s jurisdiction with rental damage

@@288theabe maybe the cowardly and lazy politicians could make it within the police authority. When they're not too busy making money by handing out tickets for the politicians.

What you are asking for is gestapo not police. The landlord clearly didnt care enough to ever check in on his property. He shares responsibility. Do you go years without checking in on your investment? Thats a recipe for disaster and here we are.

Blame the victims? PATHETIC. Destruction of private property is a crime, but only when that property belongs to corporations or the regime.

Crack heads drug addictions

Beyond disgusting!!!!! No respect!!!!

Are we sure the landlord was human? We only see one side of the story here.

Automatic? Skipping the trial? We don't know the whole story, maybe the tenant isn't at fault. Maybe some squatters came in and did this. Anyway, this is a civil matter, not criminal.

Should be automatic jail time for bad landlords. Landlord looks like a slumlord for real.

Lol nonsense? Such an person word,are you over 70?

Definitely criminal mischief.

Its mainly tenants on social assistance that destroy these place and now they are off to the next place to destroy.

Heard about this woman con artist living rent free for years

Won't happen coz the gov is all about kissing ass to tenants. You can clearly tell by the policy they have in place. Does it make sense if a tenant haven't paid rent gets to live in a rental place for months and months yet as a landlord you can't even kick them out? Doesn't make sense to me. If you lease a car and you don't pay the lease they car rental company have every right to tow your car. Also putting restricting on rent increase? Is a free market let the market decide. If the rent is too high landlord simply will have no tenants and have to lower the rent. Rented out an apartment out 10 years ago never ago. Got a tenant who refuse to pay rent after the 1st month gets to live in my place rent free for months in the end I have to beg her to leave and have her money! While the gov doesn't do anything and filing with the tenancy board to even get the case going take a month. That's the real reason why where are so few rental units. It doesn't make sense to be a landlord.

@@michaelyun2407 i wish everyone in Canada would read your comment. Your right, it's total bs. Just happened to me also, tennant just decided to stop paying rent and ghosted me. Got to give them well over a months notice, plus the few weeks of late payment chance, then no idea when she really will leave, so can't even set a date to open it to rent to someone else. Not much damage, but she used the entire place like a garbage can.

What a wonderful idea !!!!! Absolutely yes!!

It should be legal for landlords to shoot tenants who stay past their eviction date.

That won't ever happen

A friend did and her house and car got vandalized and the cops did nothing.

That can result in a defamation lawsuit

@@youtubeshadowbannedme Absolutely. Yet, the landlord at that point could sue for damages and pain and suffering.

How does one break a drawer?

You can’t call them animals. Animals wouldn’t do that. They like to be clean. I don’t understand how anyone could destroy someone’s place like that. Why would anyone want to live like that? Drugs, drinking, partying, They’re just trash. Just one family like that can mess up the whole neighborhood. 🤬😡

They will suffer no consequences. Tennants have all the rights.

The real animals are the thieving welfare parasites calling themselves landlords.

@@kn3186 drawers break all the time, especially if they are cheaply made lmfao.

Exactly post their pictures everywhere as well

Where????

@@channi58 there are scamming websites which can get names posted.

This happened on Lonsdale based on the document shown on screen

Merle Smith Landlord vs. Chris Paulin Jennifer Turner-Paulin

Your rare sadly.

To bad for you....most renters are losers. I have an empty house for 2 months now and will never rent it out. You can all go live in the streets for all i care.

@@elcrypto3623 in this economy most renters are losers?? Your privilege is showing. Take it elsewhere .

This system have to change! These crimes can not continue without consequences

@Island Dreaming93very true landlord's hands are tied tenants have all the rights I was scared to rent my apt too Heard so many horror stories about bad tenants

the tenants will blame covid-19.

this is why you get a security deposit

@@MrMLaidlaw a security deposit is worthless if they stop paying 6 months before the eviction.

@@RS-xh8rq So, does every renter act like that? Why did they stop paying? Why did you rent to someone who would do that?

Then they can be free to be slum lords?????

@@jamescross6109 They are free to try but you missed my point that tenants have rights and the ones that know them will bite back at the slum lords. Stop letting in crappy tenants and it doesn't take an intensive credit and vetting process to find that out.

There's no protection for tenants against slumlords either! Tenants get screwed over by landlord's all the time, invest in some insurance!

@@briancallen5344Your absolutely right. There are slumbers out there that only think of profit. However, insurance doesn't cover vandalism unless police report. This is criminal like I said.

@@briancallen5344 Its easier just to sell instead of rent...you can go live on the street for all i care.

The law's on there side.

@@joannedowd3971 Your right. Hopefully things will change because this is exactly why there is no affordable housing.

Ya, that was odd. It seems as though he doesn't have his emotional priorities straight if he didn't cry when his parents passed but he is crying over the damage to his property. Maybe being Irish in this context is supposed to mean that he's hardened to bad times.

Maybe because Irish are all about the family.

@@jamescross6109 how so?

Don't Irish have a reputation for suppressing feelings? I came from Irish heritage and we don't open up about our feelings lol.

And even sicker and inhuman is corrupt judges and armed state sanctioned domestic Terrorists calling themselves law enforcement aid them in their grand larceny and domestic Terrorism.

@@ladydragon7777 Tenants like these are often subhuman animals living off welfare and spending their days doing drugs partying and being degenerate trash. It should be perfectly legal for landlords to refuse to rent to anyone who comes to them with welfare housing benefits, it should also be perfectly legal for landlords to kill such tenants if they stay past their eviction dates.

There is more to this story and I think the land lord is not telling the full story.

What did you do with you're rental properties?

I own three units and I've been lucky enough to have no problems with my tenants... But this stuff really really scares me.. This is why I have decided to not purchase any more properties and move.. My investments and cash flow to REITs

I kept my rental units EMPTY as they were increasing in value well above any rent I'd receive and tenants aren't worth the aggrevation. Then sold when the market was high enough that my property was worth three times what I paid.

@@Rshen11 your Tennant's/investors should sue you for their investment back when they move or are evicted, plus interest on every dollar they invested into your property,or claim adverse possession for all the money they invested into your property.

@@ladydragon7777 haha

He wanted free money for doing nothing. Now he's crying. Too bad.

@@ThomasMilne you must be that ugly tenant. Its not free money he paid for that house.

@@ThomasMilne The subhuman filth who did this should be shot, they can't even call themselves human beings because animals don't act like this.

@@ThomasMilne Once you move out of mommy's basement you'll understand that homes cost money.

@@ThomasMilne yup too bad your so bitter over something in your life. I'm hoping you will get the needed help you can find.

We have really nice neighbors and one house was rented and you share could tell the front gardens were trashed. Front and back.

Yes. Tells you where his priorities are, doesn't it?

@@ScubaSteveCanada Yes it does. I am still not understanding how and why he said that

I think he was trying to make a point of how he never cries. Men in our society are told not to cry. He probably put months of hard work renovating the unit and tens of thousands of dollars only to be destroyed soon after. He won't get a cent from the tenant even if he takes him to small claims (been there) so that is another tens of thousands and months it'll cost him to fix all while paying the property taxes, insurance, mortgage. No insurance would pay for this, it is all out of pocket. That is a lot of money, time, and effort with no reward in the end. That might be $100k in the end, and this guy might make $25k a year. Maybe this was his childhood home and his only source of income to support his family, who knows? He certainly is not a big time landlord I can 100% tell you that. You shouldn't be so judgmental

That's what Capitalism does to you lol

@@jamalwilliams7085 Imma venture a guess and say he definitely aint low income if he can rent a house with brand new appliances. Maybe he was an awful landlord? Maybe he showed up anytime he wanted to? Maybe he rented to them and turned around and evicted them as soon as the pandemic started because he knew they would lose wages and didn't want to deal? Maybe, he installed cameras in the home to be a creep? Maybe he refused to allow them to have utilities in their own name and marked the utility cost up to get more money? Maybe you shouldn't judge a few seconds of footage of a messy house, without hearing the whole story? Talk about judgement bias.

Aww the rich guy bought an extra house for profit, decided to overinflate the rent, did not do his due diligence in background checks and he pays the price. Sounds a lot like Wall Street.

omg

They knew their time was coming for them to leave,so they decided to trash the place. Its the only motive i see.

@@satanspy Yep. It was payback.

I'm guessing drug use must be involved. I can't see anyone in their right mind doing this much horrific damage.

Meth

L

no they are not. Just bad renters that are taking revenge from being evicted. It is very common.

Wow how's that possible

@Ted Swirski I'm sorry about what's happened. Today's society is sickening with lack of care of others, and lack of consequences.

That's crazy

That doesn't make this acceptable in any form. Bad landlords usually are accountable according the tenancy laws but tenants are not held accountable

Haha, I believe he was trying to make a point..

@@TPkills Yes, it was a tacky comment, though.

Nothing you can do. Gov is on the tenants side. I have same issue back 10 years ago. Tenants didn't pay rent after the 1st month. File with the tenancy board and was told the backlog for a hearing could take months or even half a year. after a few months I paid the tenant to leave the place. So not only I am out of rent for months but also out of my pocket. Gov won't help. You are pretty much on your own.

@@michaelyun2407 I'm curious, did you do a thorough background check on that person?

make sure you are serving the correct forms and you're on it 24/7 keep your pressure on and make your tenants aware that you are serious about collecting rent or evicting them don't be the nice landlord the tenants KNOW THE SYSTEM

always !!!!!!!!@@pleco101 if they dont have a 700 score forget it i learned my lesson the hard way

Is that really a precedent you’d want? Remember, something like that would apply to all tenants and the needle would be free to move.

So Jose, are you saying there shouldn't be rules for tenants? Seriously?

@@JCasR3 there should be strict rules tenants ! These tenants are ruining properties

@@billmorison6073 That’s exactly what I’m saying. Let’s all live like animals and let the government sort it out.

Government needs to stay out of everything that's part the problem

The very reason why that is the case is because of animal tenants who abuse the system. Landlords have to take a lot of risks to rent the property and it's only sensible to rent for a high price for such risks.

@@Ajel128 yes, those tenants are bad. But we don't know the other side of the story. Who knows what this landlord have done to them. In my experience only one landlord was honest person. The rest was just animals.

BOO HOO....the sidewalk has lots of room for you...in the meantime i have a vacant house and renters are not welcome. PS..Buy a blanket..it can get cold this time of year.

@@elcrypto3623 I'll try to survive without your help sir. Have a wonderful Sunday and enjoy your morning coffee or tea

Maybe there's a reason for a 6 mo deposit.

This is why I couldn't rent to anyone because I'd would honestly be so angry that I'd just go after the tenants myself. I'm sorry, but you've got to have a huge tolerance level to see something like that and know all you can do is suck it up and spend thousands of your own dollars to fix it.

😳 😅🤣😂👀

Lol

That was a inn/motel not a fkn apartment looser.

Exactly

This is not something new.

It should and is. Be aware of who you rent to

add courts are to slow

you could go after the tenant and sue in small claims court

did you hire a management company to do the applications? screening?

W T F

@FutureMemory That's the real problem. Its only tenants right without consideration for the landlords.

Thomas Cibula just keep in mind some landlords will lie to you to get them out of their place. Also you don’t know who is really on the other end of the phone.

@@Steveesleddog true too! The potential damage of trust can go both ways

The tenants were probably a bunch of crackheads

Yes These tenants must be punished and forcesd to repay the damage

You know quite well that issues like this are often unrecoverable when it goes south. That's why insurance, credits checks and thorough references are required. Even then, things can go south with some tenants that on appearance look clean cut. All you can do is send it to collections and hope for the best. In a situation like this guy is, it's hopeless. I honestly doubt that renter has two nickels to rub together.

@@Mikinaak2023 Even if they have no nickels, the court will take away what ever money they make from here on out.

@U Betcha If legally I could!!!!! I WOULD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm doing the same. Never renting property out again

Camelphobe?

Thunder Struck - Yes!

Hahaa ... that and Jesus wasn't born on Dec 25 so yeah, imposters.

Same thing every other business owner who takes a loss does. The minute you become a landlord you are a business not a person. And should be viewed as such in the eyes of the law. Why would you expect to have a special solution in place just for them?

There should be a bad tenant registry, but the ltb/regime doesn't want to make it easy on landlords.

You would be surprised how many of those tenants are out there and they boldly say the law is for them

@@fairnesspaul2594 true and that’s not fair! The tenants have ruined my condo and it’s just not fair

The $100k renovation quote did seem a bit off. Still pretty horrible...

So now we are prosecuting undesirables for being undisireable. Whoa. Reeducation camps cant be far behind.
