It would seem that California is a much more difficult area to be a small landlord in Canada. Or are any landlords in Canada doing this due to unfair rules?
https://sfstandard.com/housing-developm ... ction-ban/An Alameda County landlord began a hunger strike on Sunday to protest an ongoing eviction ban that he says has pushed him to the brink of bankruptcy.
Jinyu Wu, 53, an immigrant from China, has a rental property in San Leandro, but says his tenant hasn’t paid him for three years due to an eviction moratorium implemented in 2020 in response to the Covid pandemic.
A mother and children rented a unit from Wu shortly before the pandemic started, but now haven’t paid rent for 37 months. Wu says the tenants owe him around $120,000 in unpaid rent.
Because of the moratorium, tenants can’t be kicked out if they can’t pay their rent—although the policy also states that the tenants eventually have to pay what they owe.
