Are you a landlord? If you are, you're obviously new at this. I don't need the governement to tell me how to run my business. Do a proper background check with some reference and ask for a security deposit. If you have a nice property to rent and have a serious prospect, he will give you a security deposit. There's always a risk, your tennant could lose his job and you may lose 2 months of rent but at least, your flat will remain clean. Don't blame the governement because you didn't invest enough time for your due diligence.
I made that mistake once and didn't blame anyone beside myself.
I blame stuff on myself too, but I think a deposit would help. Maybe not force to have one, but at least make it not illegal to request one.
This BS lived there for 2 years, never bring his rent debt balance to 0$ ever.
Owed me over 8k at one point!!! The gf's boss bail them out!! Cuz only the gf work but the guy manage the expense. Nonsense...
I asked him how he can pay me on HIS terms, he give me a full details written like a BS, many many times he provided his terms and not once he respect it lol.
I used to live there and whenever I pass by, I speak to my neighboors and they have no words for it, they just shake their head no no no...they are happy to see him leave too. They dont mind much the girl and the kid.
Yes I did a credit check criminal check it came out clean.
Yes I went to Regie, but gf's boss bail them out the morning of the hearing. (Like I show up, ask the judge to reschedule, have the boss sign a cheque, then I closed my request)
This is the list of things I have to fix :
Main door alluminium peeled off.
First door at the entrance was deep in the living room behind pile of shit.
Front balcony mosquito net door wasn't there anymore.
Master bedroom door need to be replace, holes inside because he punched it a couple times.
Floor need to be sand and varnish again. They never swipe or mop the floor!
Toilette need to be changed, barely working now.
Balcony need to be changed since his cat was pooping all over, he even have a small baby pool that as shit and water in it full of dead mosquito (yes I had to get rid of it for him)
Plus all the crap I posted before. But I can deal with that, its annoying but its okay. I just can't deal with his attitude mr. knows it all but can't do shit.
Nightmare is over now! Im happy they're gone that was the main goal.
