Tax, tax, tax.....you must be part of the Trudeau gang....that's all they think about as well....
I don't know where your hate for landlords came from but there's counselling for that these days.....
People who rent property have to claim rent as income and are taxed on it....then have to pay property tax on that property so don't worry, there are taxes involved.
When we talk landlords......and the lack of requirement for them.......how would we go about housing students, low income people, military families, seniors, etc without some sort of a landlord??
What about someone who inherited a home and wanted to keep it in the family but couldn't live in it or perhaps they are out of province...should they be forced to sell it?
What about land lease holders who lease farm land from someone to work it, should the land owner be forced to sell it?
What about apartment buildings.....would tenants then own their apartment omitting the need for a landlord.....then they would become a condominium right?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What about a case I know where a tenant refused to pay rent because he lost his job and the landlord wasn't allowed to evict him so had to carry the tenant for a year....and it was a utilities included rental so the tenant turned on every light and used his oven to heat the apartment, then had "Hollywood" showers costing the landlord a pile of money....and the landlord had zero rights whereas the tenant had all of them....
Where's the outrage over the tenant being a tool-bag?
Hahahahaha, keep assuming........................as I said before, I am largely conservative.
But when it comes to the bare necessities of life (food, water, housing), there needs to be regulation to protect us peasants from greedy capitalists.
Students can be housed in dormitories, low income have centres and financial support to help with housing, military families and seniors should be owning their homes, and if forced to move they can sell and buy in the new location where their services are required.
As for someone who inherited a property, they have a choice to keep it for personal use (wither they use it or not is up to them) or sell it and move on if they aren't going to use it.
Land lease owners should be sectioning off the land, selling the farmland to farmers to use and keep the property their residence is sitting on.
Apartment buildings should be set up as condo's where residents own everything within the walls, and a percentage of the property. Property management companies charge residents for maintenance and upkeep of the property, but are sub-contracted by the residents association and financial records are kept.
In the current system, if the landlord wants to float the tenant for a year............That's on them, and it's their choice
Right now housing is an open market same as the stock market. Sometimes you win, sometimes you loose.
The fact that tenants need to have protections from landlords only enforces my opinion, most are greedy and heartless and must be kept in check through laws because their own morals isn't enough.
There is NO outrage for the tenant being a toolbag.....................You clearly didn't vet them enough, and that's a chance you took.
Those who invest in the stock market without doing research on the companies they are investing in, stand a real chance of loosing A LOT.
Like I said, if you want to treat housing like the stock market to allow your financial wealth to make you money, then these are the chances you take.
If you choose to create a good or service to sell in the open market like actual entrepreneurs, you would have laws, contracts, and other legal means to protect yourself from harm.
Welcome to the wild wild west of housing, if it wasn't so lucrative you wouldn't be in it............................and it wouldn't be worth the risk, but you are so it must be.
