Landlords Across Ontario Need The Legal System Up & Running
Small landlords are different than big REIT corporate landlords. Many of us used to rent ourselves, or we have friends and family members who rent.
We are understanding and helpful. We are patient and kind to our tenants. We want to work things out for a win-win situation. We aren’t afraid of posts on this site to help tenants.
We also need rent to be paid on time in order to survive!
Small landlords don’t have economies of scale, don’t have huge cash reserves, and many need rent paid each month just to cover our costs.
A large number of tenants are co-operating with their landlords and deferring rent or creating payment plans.

Many tenants even with the means to pay are simply saying “No.”
They know they cannot be evicted and are ‘gaming’ the system by not paying when they can.
