Landlords aren’t being paid. Tenants are feeling squeezed. And the system that’s supposed to help is broken

Raj Salwan says he is living in a financial nightmare.

Every month, he is slipping deeper and deeper into debt, covering the costs of a condo he owns that’s occupied by a tenant who isn’t paying and will not leave.

Salwan said his tenant is in arrears of over $34,000. He has had to take out a loan against his own home to cover the mounting costs of the mortgage and utilities.

It’s a mess and unfortunately a lot of good people on both sides get burned.

I would rent my place out and build out a van if I wasn’t worried about being made bankrupt by a “professional tenant.”
