Dan what is the address of that landlords board you talk about?
I am wondering if the landlords posting here really all are landlords or some misfit imposters to discredit legitimate tenant advocates.
Cass Sunstein a Harvard Law professor was appointed by President Obama to a new position to head the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs.
He recently wrote a book called On Rumors: How Falsehoods Spread, Why We Believe Them, What Can Be Done. It is supposed to be excellent and discusses useless people like him who out of jealousy spread lies to attack those who are contibuting substantially to society and how to remove their malicious postings and websites.
If they can figure out how to do that in the US I can only hope Canada quickly follows suit to stop those who would spread malicious lies and rumors to undermine the good works of others.

: A fair question. As I have said before, each

: merits, so there is no short answer. The Act
: does set out some time limits in responding
: to the first notice.
:
: If the offending tenant reforms, that solves

: for that.
:
: So whats a fair time limit when a landlord
: is failing to keep a unit in good repair?
: See my post above about the multi unit
: apartment inspections.

: By the way, I am allowing you to post as it
: affects tenants....but I edited out your

: They do have valid points...and I do listen

: have either mis read my responses or simply
: choose to continue the basic landlord whine.
:
: The Act and by extension us only
: "protect" bad tenants by giving
: them the reasonable opportunity to reform or
: correct the problem. This is to avoid the
: ultimate penalty of eviction.
:
: We would also disagree with your comment
: about higher rents, but it seems landlords
: don't need more excuses to raise the rents
: to such a degree that so many people can't
: really afford them. You can see those
: tenants in the line ups at the food bank,
: and on the waitng list for rent geared to
: income housing.
:
: I think I wrote a thoughtful balanced
: response above...you are free to disagree.

: Dan, you should listen to your well informed
: posters, they all have valid points.
:
: The act protects bad tenants, your
: organization helps bad tenants. The good
: tenants, like the above posters, end up
: paying in the end; by putting up with an
: undesirable tenant neighbour that will take
: the landlord months to evict, and with
: higher rents to cover uncouperable arrears
: and damages.
