Re: What makes a good landlord?

[ariakas]

My dad's been renting for years, and he's had excellent tenants and horrible ones. Which is normally fine, as if "horrible" involves not paying the rent, you can just evict them, and if "horrible" involves damaging the property you can do the same and keep their security deposit, but...

Unfortunately, the bylaws are such that if someone is on social assistance, standard eviction laws don't apply, and they can - and in my dad's, and several other landlord's experience that I know of - occasionally will just stop paying you. With impunity. My dad was lucky in that he could just have a close family member move in, which is one of the few legal loopholes there, and kick them out that way, but in other landlord's case, it cost him six months of lost rent and $14,000 of legal fees - hers were covered by low income legal aid - just to evict a tenant who hadn't paid him rent for months before that. I would at this point do a credit check for that reason alone, though I would definitely consider renting to someone on social assistance who had multiple excellent references.

Like, I get that people fall on hard times, and I'd like to be sympathetic, but my property is not a low income shelter or a charity service, and having people in there putting wear and tear on the building, using the utilities, and occupying a space I could be renting to paying tenants is actively costing me money. If you require a shelter or charity service, I will help you find one. If a tenant had otherwise paid on time for years I'd give them some leeway, but if you show up with the first month and the security deposit and in the second month you'd like to delay/not pay your rent? Get out.
