A group of housing providers in the province are calling out the Ford government, saying reform is needed to help small-ownership landlords and good tenants.
Small Ownership Landlords of Ontario (SOLO) held a rally outside Queen’s Park on Saturday, calling on the province to provide better ways to protect small ownership landlords from tenants who refuse to pay.
“My tenant stopped paying rent to the tune of $26,000, and then he eventually burned my house down,” said Kevin Costain, SOLO board member.
The situation is so bad for renters that when they do fall into arrears it’s easy to just say F*ck it and screw the system.
