Have you ever run into this? Is there anybody that one should alert to? We are in the process of evicting these RAFT rats as again they have been very troublesome besides. But I don't think society should be paying for their back rent. --66.30.xx.xxx

Anyway. I asked one of the recipients of this FREE MOLA and she said that they did not ask for any sort of proof of anything---income, proof of not being able to pay etc. Sad in my opinion. Tax payers getting ------ ed again. --24.233.xxx.xx

The justice is that with there poor mentality they will never have anything,maybe a big tv but not real assets with a comfortable living and retirement --72.231.xxx.xxx

Not even the people from Unsolved Mysteries had an answer for that, this is so sad :( . But you know, sometimes the government let you think that you got away with murder or that you committed the perfect crime, but eventually they will pull the rope and people will have to pay for every penny. --98.216.xx.xxx

If the tenant rides the Convid freebie train, when does it become the landlords fault for not getting them out? A month, 6 months? A year? 2 years? Id bet any money that there are some yahoo landlords out there going on the 2nd and soon STARTING THEIR 3RD year with no rent. --24.152.xxx.xx

NE,I have an appointment with a lady to look at a house with a non paying tenant for a year and a half.She says she lived there for years and always paid but she honestly believes she doesnt have to pay rent because the governor said she doesnt have to,says tenant will let us in no problem.I will have her sign the rights to back rent over to me and i will squeeze hard or maybe get the back rent paid by the state --72.231.xxx.xxx

Ken, you will have the money or the tenant out a lot faster than the seller. --24.152.xxx.xx

NE,I bought a house at city auction one time for $1100.00 and got the city attorney to sign over 3 months back rent to me,gave her an eviction notice the day i bought it,a week later the county welfare office paid me $600 x 3 months total of $1800 to let her stay.Tax dollars at work there --72.231.xxx.xxx

Here the federal government when they fill a tax return they are taking back the money where they did not qualify. So what what happens at return time if the government in the Us maybe the same. Like everywhere the Canada Revenue Agency has the ability to go after those people. More then likely a lot people are going to be in for shock as they cheated the system where last year a lot of them had to pay back so this year there is unlikely to be any change. If they work some place they can not hide income. Only a small percentage needed some help for a short period of time say a few months. Now many places are looking for workers as the generous UI benefits is discouraging people from seeking employment. This free for all needs to come to end as this is causing major problems for the economy. People employed pay provincial and federal income tax. --99.236.xxx.xxx

Our governments systems are so messed up that things will not change for the better. It is certainly a sad state of affairs, in a LL's view, but others look at it a lot different. It is called job security to ignore the obvious. --67.22.x.x

OK, So how would you get them out? --66.30.xx.xxx

Doug, it depends on your situation. Exploit the pressure points. Either you get it or you don’t. --24.152.xxx.xx

--66.30.xx.xxx

I haven’t had these troubles. I’ve provided help to others. If I was in your position,‘I wouldn’t be in it as long as you have been though. You really really really have to think outside the box. Every time we bump into these problems on this forum, everybody’s like NE, be specific! I can’t. I don’t know you, your building, or your tenants. Some things in this business can’t be posted on a public forum. Use your brain & figure it out. take control of your unit and your business. Big daddy government does not give two shyts about you, brother! --24.152.xxx.xx

These appear to be one in the same to me. --73.120.xx.xxx

Doug,I have been known to turn down or turn off water heaters,that forces them to call me,noone equates me being in the basement yesterday with no hot water today.I knock on the tenants door and ask for my rent every day,walk the property every day just to be there.Most dirtbags cant this kind of pressure and will leave.You have to be nice so if they call the cops they have no legitimate complaints. --72.231.xxx.xxx

I don't see any options to force them out without getting into a lot of trouble. --66.30.xx.xxx

What would it take to get the Board of Health to condemn the building? For habitability. --174.249.xx.xxx

Don't understand how this applies or helps. --66.30.xx.xxx

You have to get creative Doug. --24.152.xxx.xx

Yeah,..well again, (in the old days we would say "that and a dime would buy you a cup of coffee"...... Yeah it was an old saying even then. --66.30.xx.xxx

Well Doug, if you can’t figure it out, I buy houses. --24.152.xxx.xx

--66.30.xx.xxx

I'm reading that a squeeze play could be the answer. Let them get themselves out by reporting you. If you were big game hunting in Africa and got the "no hot water or we'll call the code dude" could one just let the code dude tell them they have to move cause they can't live here cause you are half way around the world with no cell service? --172.58.xxx.xxx

Plenty gets it. --174.249.xx.xxx

I have 23 properties, some I have had for nearly 30 years, so I'm used to problem-solving. These are not easy under current conditions --66.30.xx.xxx

How long does it take to get a court date? --24.152.xxx.xx

He is also frustrated as he has a number of others he is waiting for. --66.30.xx.xxx
