Unbelievable CTV news article tonight.
A tenant in the Maritimes who couldn't pay his rent.
Landlord, currently in Florida, asked him to leave.
The tenant cleared the house of everything - furnace, guts of the dishwasher, I think he cut all the wires -- it was unbelievable. The place was gutted.
The landlord's representative called the RCMP - who said there was nothing they could do, because it was "a civil matter".
As is often the case in the Maritimes, there was no formal rental agreement, and the house was uninsured.
Now for the commentary:
No wonder many people don't want to invest in rental properties or be landlords.
Any future rental housing shortage will be largely tenant-made.
