I guess another question is, does it still run?

As far as I can tell, the guideline does not apply to new builds. Otherwise, my landlord's hike of our rent by 3.5% would also be illegal as the limit at the time was 1.2%. "The guideline applies to the vast majority – approximately 1.4 million – of rental households covered by the Residential...

I know the Bike Yard deals in Japanese bike parts, they may be interested. The Bike Yard +1 800-962-8372 https://maps.app.goo.gl/jBkfmXY8mue3F8w77

And I'm sure landlords are aware, at least my landlord's real estate agent should have been when she conducted the transaction. With the competitive nature of the market, I don't think they care because what am I going to do, not want a roof over my head?

As far as I can tell, it's not if the unit was first occupied as a rental after November 15, 2018. Our landlord raised our rent by 3.5% this past March for the same reason, it's a townhouse that was first occupied in 2019 (by the previous tenant). Our landlord doesn't intend on kicking us out...

It's very Mayor McCheese-esque

$50 over 6 years? At that point I would ask her if she's sure I shouldn't be paying more. My in-laws are landlords, bumped rent of tenants by $300/month because "that's fair for downtown Toronto, in this market and I'm sure they can afford it"...

Yeah I read a couple of articles detailing the UofG situation. That whole thing is crazy, including the bit about converting hotels/motels into student housing. Shes at Western where they apparently have had a %3 drop in enrolment year-over-year, but still not much luck. We ran into the same...

Yeah, were trying to find other options within her price range but it's been a lot of disappointment with listings advertising rents $300-400 below what they ask for once you contact them. It's a university town and apparently over-enrollment is a thing. I'm sure that's heating up the rental...

I don't wish misery and misfortune on anyone. My experience is biased because it's limited to being a tenant, and it's been a questionable experience at best. I'm sure there are fair and honest landlords out there. I'm going to be as ****** and indignant about this as anyone else might be about...

This is nice and relatively sort of not really but kind of close. I'll be there.

I'm sorry to hear... Yeah that's just ****, I've heard of other landlords also getting pushed into such a position because the costs of taking it to court would have been too high. I especially love (sarcasm) his tenant's bit about getting on his knees and swearing on his children's lives that...

My mistake, it was also a cleaning deposit...

It was $500 because they were "special keys with a special key fob", and you're not wrong. When we went to the LTB, they outlined the process required to make a formal complaint. It was a drawn out process and the lawyer who counseled us advised we could lose because of the "special keys and key...

It wouldn't restrict it, but it would govern the storage and disclosure of that information. Being a tenant is no better, seems to be a two way street. Dealing with a landlord who requested we paint over the poor patch job from the previous tenant, before he returns our "key deposit". Or the...

At which point I can ask for a written reason for the denial and see what they come back with. All of which does not help my sister and ultimately makes this whole experience needlessly difficult, I know, I know... I understand the need for landlords to cover their butts, I feel like I should...

All offence intended, where applicable. I am helping my younger sister fill out a rental application form and she needs a guarantor. My mom is retired so she doesn't qualify and I'm next in line (why she didn't ask our dad is out of the scope of this rant). They are asking for a treasure-trove...

A musical salad... Sarah Jarosz - Dark Road (album version / live version) - easy listening, good riding music Nutronic - Icon (album version) - always enjoyed a good blend between rock and electronic music

It's even more of a mystery when they then go and fill up at Husky... In other news, here's a decent Yahoo Finance article on the increase in gas prices, it tries to steer away from political/pandemic/war rhetoric and provide a more "follow the money" view of the situation (try not to get to...
