Come on down, we will teach you to shoot guns, and be a conservative. :thumbsup: There are just some places that are easier to live in than others. Now don't get me wrong, there are plenty of places in our country, and even some in my state that are more like where you live, but I don't live there!

That is why I can get a little pushy about how to do something and doing it right the first time.

Sadly, you are correct.

It's province by province, but yes, Ontario is bad. I've done a lot of research, belong to a landlord forum and learn a lot there (just like the education I received about tractors from TBN) and I'm careful. There are a lot of speculators who never bother to really understand all the rules and are victimized by professional tenants looking to score their next year of free accommodations. I can't guaranty I'll never have a problem, but if having stringent screening makes a crook to move on, it doesn't have to be perfect.

Montreal has a rental board also.
You file, takes like 2-3 months for a hearing and then tenant comes up with $50. so judge rules in his favor claiming he shows good faith.
Then you get the guy that rents top facility with 3 months paid up front and it takes U 1 year to evict him but he skips costing you 9 months.
Have seen apartments trashed because tenant was PO'd that you evicted him.
Takes all kinds and status and areas make no difference. There simply are pro deadbeats out there.

I've been a bricklayer for 34 yrs, in the union for the last 11 yrs. Only 9 more years and I'll be eligible to retire. I'll be 64 and hopefully still be able to pick up block.
