Okay, now let me get this straight. You rent from me for two years and then some. I reduce your rent by $100 for the second year (a.k.a sweet deal, you were always late with the rent) and you take off to TO, sublet the place to a dirty leftist who could not even call me to say her cheques were ass wipe for a chimp, then you sublet the place when I am down south for $200 more than you pay me. Get a life. Grow up! —Fed Up Landlord

that sounds like a shitty deal o.p., maybe you should pick tenants more carefully.
i live in an apartment building in fairview, have been here for 6 year now, going on 7, and the guy that owns this place is cool. i have no complaints, and have never had any.
the rent has only been raised by 25 bucks once, in the whole time i have been here. you sound like a good person, and i hate seeing good people get fucked over. the tenancies board will do shit all for you, that i know for a fact. good luck, and by the way, our rosie is looking for a place, maybe you and she can get together on that. she is a nice person, and would hope that she gets another place soon.
What you do is go to Access Nova Scotia and get an Application to Director. A tenant cannot sub-lease their unit WITHOUT permission of the landlord. But please tell me you did not accept any payment from the leftie but only from your original tenant. If you took money from the leftie then you have a relationship with them and they are on a month to month lease. If you did, then you can give them three months notice.
1 month if on monthly rental.with no lease signed.
I know OP…
and did you hear, her water got shut off at the same time her power was out too!
fucking hell….
survivor, she ain’t.
LS, the one month is the notice a tenant has to give, the landlord still needs to give three months.
Take any and all legal action possible, OP.
I suspect some kind of communist plot to deprive landlords of their income. The mention of “dirty leftist” confirms this. Perhaps the RCMP should be called in to root out the “commie preverts” and bring them to justice.
Get over yourselves.
” a dirty leftist” LOL
I think “dirty leftist” = hipster.
I doubt hipsters care about sides of the political spectrum. Not when big glasses, leotards and booze are priorities.
Commandante is right. What does being dirty have to do with being a leftist? Some are dirty because they are committed to making a better world for us all, some because they can’t help it and some because they just don’t give a toss. Tarring them all with the ‘leftist’ label is not just unfair, its straight-up iggerant, dawg.
For shame, for shame. >: (
i have trouble telling my left from my right, no problem with port and starboard
Some Naval Reserve guys at uni used to do a thing called “Running Lights” in the Wardroom. Picture a convoy of very drunk lads weaving their way through the bar each with a glass of Creme de Menthe in one hand and Cherry Brandy in the other.
Good times, good times.
haha, yes i can picture it…i spent my childhood in various yacht squadrons, didn’t like the posh ones, too snooty
yeah tim, you are right, i was reading about if tenant was in arrears for the month. 7 days if a dager to other tenants tho.
OP, why would you reduce rent? It’s income property….milk those suckers for every penny you can get.
