Some litigants in these cases conflate ‘human rights’ with Charter rights, the latter of which is constitutionally protected by law. The Charter of Rights and Freedoms are restricted only to state-controlled entities, such as governments, public health departments and the police.

Landlording as a Business
Many prospective investors have asked me if it was worth their while becoming a Landlord. They read the horror stories in the newspapers about tenants that overstay their ‘visit’ for months at a time. These tenants squat while their landlords continue to pay the bills. They read about tenants that have left their newly renovated properties in such a wreck that one wonders how they can find good tenants that would care for their property as they have done.
Prospective landlords also want to know how much to ask for in rent, as they do not want to overcharge or lose money. Asking for too little over the long term might seem worth it to attract tenants, but over time expenses might absorb most or all of it. Asking too much might not attract many tenants, or it might put one at risk of tenants falling behind in payments. Striking that fine balance is a business decision all landlords have to make. It is important to know that most tenants are decent people who will treat your property with care and pay their rent on time. Read more… “Pros and Cons of Becoming a Landlord in Ontario” →
