We paid the bills and basement damages when they left without paying 4 months rent. Very Frustrating, had to sell the property. Now bought a home out of city.
@@986kph You will be one of the homeless if all so-called illegal basements were to be pulled off the rental market.😂😂😂 You own nothing, and you never will.😂😂
Landlord Tenant Board should be renamed to TENANT BOARD. Tenants are allowed NOT to pay the rent, live for free, damage the property and leave without paying to the landlord. And LTB expect the landlords to absorb all the damages like all landlords have millions of dollars sitting under their As$.
What is happening at the LTB is a travesty. The long waittimes to get a hearing whilst tenant living free and committing other atrocities is something of the third-world. This is one of the reasons rents continues to go up in this province. Renters will continue to suffer for this. I have a tenant I'm currently trying to evict. Today made it 2 months since I applied to the LTB. He owes rents, I know he wouldn't pay. He would get evicted and I'll then take the unit off the market or convert it to a short term rental. In the end, the renter loses. Again, not my problem.
Sometimes the basement is segmented so you wouldn't be able to access the panel. The utilities come from the street and connect to the front corner of the house. If you watch the video, they go to the back of the house to get access to the unit. Take a closer look and you can see the doorway was created by sawcutting the foundation and the cinder block was added as a retaining wall for the stairs. The apartment itself is probably illegal because there is no secondary ingress/egress or window someone can crawl out of in case of a fire trapping you.
Did they say he moved in in Feb and already stopped paying in March? This could have been preplanned or very bad financial management. But the landlord should not have cut off electricity. At least give tenant a chance.
@@viewtube51 You ever have a mortgage? You have to prove you can carry the costs on your own to the bank. But from a landlord perspective this is a horrible tenant.

You can't get gas, food, shirts, for partial payment, why do so many people expect a landlord to accept partial payment? If the tenants boss said to the tenant "I can only pay half your paycheck" the tenant would not accept that!!!! I will never ever ever understand this discrepancy.

@@sniderscott you're mistaken about credit cards too. The vendor is immediately paid in full when a credit card purchase occurs. It is the financial institution with whom the card holder has an agreement with that "lends" money to the card holder, not the seller.
All these people saying “if landlord has to rely on tenants, he can’t afford the house”. That’s his business; dude needs to pay full rent or get out, it’s that simple.
So the problem is that residential housing is being used as businesses. Illegal and unsafe units and unreported taxes. So by house hacking, which is what the owner is doing, they are driving up the cost of houses because housing is being used as an illegal business and a piggy bank. The government turns a blind eye to a lot of this because they don't have places for people to live. This drives the cost of houses up as it is making a lucrative business, albeit at the expense of MANY other people. The government claims they are putting money towards housing, I have seen nothing indicating improvements. The guy lives in the basement because his landlord contributes to making housing so unaffordable, he has to live in a basement.
Those are evil and greedy landlords obviously....Looks like the landlord has an indian accent and doesn't even have the courage to give his side of the story , probably because he knows he has done many illegal things

@@yvonnec2425 I wonder if the landlord deferred his mortgage payments while still collecting rent on an illegal apartment, and most likely not paying tax on the income. 👀
Sorry, but I am with the landlord on this one. The guy moved into this suite and in month 2 he cannot pay the rent? Rent is due on the first of the month in full not in installments. We do not know when the mortgage is due and maybe the owner needs the rent to cover. Landlord is nipping this in the bud, if cannot make rent in full in 2nd month into lease agreement, it is obvious he will be on a continual basis.
Weird tenant, gets eviction notice, and tells media he wants to end lease. Nothing keeping him there except himself. Landlord cutting power is not good either
I feel bad about people that can’t pay rent because of some sort of hardship but I feel it’s truly unfair as well for homeowners to carry the burden of others because I can’t remember a time when the bank said it’s ok you don’t have to pay the mortgage this month or the tax man saying it as well just pay me when you have it. If governments want to continue this one side relationship they need to support the other side as well. Because on the flip what would people do if there was no place to rent at all, where would they go and what would they do? That’s the real reason why there is so few places to rent. Just Think.
Exactly…now this will squarely rest on the government shoulders. They are bringing in more people but not building enough houses. And the houses we do have, are not giving proper recourse for landlords to evict non paying tenants. At this case, it’s better to invest in the stock market than becoming a real estate investor.
Actually, the landlord can legally enter without notice in case of emergency. Looking at those extension cords, I'm curious how he blew the breaker... Here's some trivia for you! Did you know that landlords and real estate agents were never legally prevented from entering to tour a tenanted property in isolation for Covid while the rest of us were practically under house arrest for two years? It happened to me. Even the police who volunteered to defend my isolation didn't realize this was legal. Why would anyone think that is ok? If you don't believe me, it's in the FAQ on the LTB website. I was getting threats from the landlord's lawyer and everything, despite me being in daily contact with our hospital and health unit. Public Health Inspector doesn't make house calls to educate landlords, apparently. They told me to post my own signs, which all parties ignored. I had an agent barge in while I was in bed sick and there was no appointment! They all consistently insinuated I was making it up while pressuring me to anticipate when I would recover. They said that if I really had Covid, I would have had "official signs". (Thanks, Public Health...) Lawyer demanded "evidence" I had Covid, when I was not medically eligible for testing. Three weeks of stress running a DIY tenant advocacy from my deathbed significantly slowed my recovery. I come from real estate on both sides of my family and always viewed it as a decent profession but there is no oversight over what appears to be a bunch of disreputable pigs these days.
How do you know that this man is qualified to say the the things you do to your house. This all down to trust on your builders with out paying a fortune to someone to say what he doesn't like. It's as simple as that.
@@siuuuuu6289 Agreed. We need to take care of ourselves instead of worrying about others. No one will take care of me for me. I've helped others out many times in the past and have never been paid back so I don't feel obligated to continue helping.

Sl.e people have it harder than other show some compassion thought everyone all of a sudden since covid cared about everyone
@@beausgaming7046 I wonder if the bank will show compassion to the landlord if he defaults on his mortgage
@@yvonnec2425 I wonder if the landlord deferred his mortgage payments while still collecting rent on an illegal apartment, and most likely not paying tax on the income. 👀
@@bolskify a deferred mortgage payment isn't the same as a missed rent. Don't be dense.
Sorry, but I am with the landlord on this one. The guy moved into this suite and in month 2 he cannot pay the rent? Rent is due on the first of the month in full not in installments. We do not know when the mortgage is due and maybe the owner needs the rent to cover. Landlord is nipping this in the bud, if cannot make rent in full in 2nd month into lease agreement, it is obvious he will be on a continual basis.
Markham is full of such mess i mean home owners are using their residences like AirBnb most are against Markham by laws 🤦♀️
Except this story is about Mississauga. Do you understand English?
The landlord is from Nigeria.
Many slumlords and many slum tenants.
There's a large smattering of truth to this....
You don’t pay rent for over a month and are surprised that your power is cut ? What a joke.
They don’t care what happens with a homeowner when they don’t pay one month to a bank for mortgage payment.
Is this bad tenant or bad landlord?
Weird tenant, gets eviction notice, and tells media he wants to end lease. Nothing keeping him there except himself. Landlord cutting power is not good either
Squatting is a big problem. Should be illegal
I swear, most landlords = 👺🤑
I feel bad about people that can’t pay rent because of some sort of hardship but I feel it’s truly unfair as well for homeowners to carry the burden of others because I can’t remember a time when the bank said it’s ok you don’t have to pay the mortgage this month or the tax man saying it as well just pay me when you have it. If governments want to continue this one side relationship they need to support the other side as well. Because on the flip what would people do if there was no place to rent at all, where would they go and what would they do? That’s the real reason why there is so few places to rent. Just Think.
Exactly…now this will squarely rest on the government shoulders. They are bringing in more people but not building enough houses. And the houses we do have, are not giving proper recourse for landlords to evict non paying tenants. At this case, it’s better to invest in the stock market than becoming a real estate investor.
Landlords are people like me or you but bank is a not a person but a system or a money making machine.
@@nolanmckain2061 what was your point please
Actually, the landlord can legally enter without notice in case of emergency. Looking at those extension cords, I'm curious how he blew the breaker... Here's some trivia for you! Did you know that landlords and real estate agents were never legally prevented from entering to tour a tenanted property in isolation for Covid while the rest of us were practically under house arrest for two years? It happened to me. Even the police who volunteered to defend my isolation didn't realize this was legal. Why would anyone think that is ok? If you don't believe me, it's in the FAQ on the LTB website. I was getting threats from the landlord's lawyer and everything, despite me being in daily contact with our hospital and health unit. Public Health Inspector doesn't make house calls to educate landlords, apparently. They told me to post my own signs, which all parties ignored. I had an agent barge in while I was in bed sick and there was no appointment! They all consistently insinuated I was making it up while pressuring me to anticipate when I would recover. They said that if I really had Covid, I would have had "official signs". (Thanks, Public Health...) Lawyer demanded "evidence" I had Covid, when I was not medically eligible for testing. Three weeks of stress running a DIY tenant advocacy from my deathbed significantly slowed my recovery. I come from real estate on both sides of my family and always viewed it as a decent profession but there is no oversight over what appears to be a bunch of disreputable pigs these days.

Oh please , get TF out the man house you agree on $1600 a month an now you can’t pay so get out .
How do you know that this man is qualified to say the the things you do to your house. This all down to trust on your builders with out paying a fortune to someone to say what he doesn't like. It's as simple as that.
Anyone who's been in his situation before knows the stress of financial hardship. A GoFundMe fundraiser to help this guy would be appreciated.
I’m good, I’m not going to donate for some deadbeat to pay his bills he can get a job like the rest of us
there are many people on the streets ready to stay like him on free money ..will you raise go fund me for all of them? good luck
@@siuuuuu6289 Agreed. We need to take care of ourselves instead of worrying about others. No one will take care of me for me. I've helped others out many times in the past and have never been paid back so I don't feel obligated to continue helping.
No it wouldn't be appreciated. At all.

Landlord should go to jail.
Someone may say immigrants help among each other but this is not always true like the bad women step on basement tenants or others looking for her men by their shameful and barbarous insulting mind and nasty attitudes not to mention the nasty men also with insulting mind and attitudes toward same native immigrants by my victimized life experiences!
I swear, most landlords = 👹🤑
its a business, not a charity. Landlord got bills to pay
@@feig3959 Always paid our rent. But still got plenty of horror stories to share.
I really don't understand people , it's a business. Pay your rent. The landlord does not get a free pass from the bank if they don't pay their mortgage
