you call it bend over backwards/jumping through hoops

i've been lucky that all my tenants have been homeowners themselves

I can see why some landlords would require bank statements etc.... with how expensive housing are out here, they are just protecting themselves..it’s nothing against you

I can’t believe that people think it’s unreasonable for a landlord to verify income.

If the person works in an office there's a decent chance they are on there but if they work OPS like Water, Street, Sewer like the guys in the trucks on the road those guys won't even have any social media accounts period let alone linkedin.

Bank statements to ensure you have enough money in case you get laid off and have enough rent to pay me for at least 3 months before you find something new.

You guys might think landlords asking for bank statements might be much--try evicting someone who's late on rent. Then try talking to the bank that you're late on your mortgage because your tenant was late on paying.
For every tenant not willing to show financial statements, there are probably 3 or 4 that are willing. Guess who makes the cut to the next round?

I ain't giving you passport but I'm happy to give you my BCDL. If I do get into stage 2 of the rental, then you can take a picture.
I'm happy to tell you where I work, and you can verify my work date / HR / manager even if you have to but I ain't telling you how much I make.
As to nah, another way to kick someone out is for you to move into the unit (as a landlord) | Lmao.
So it's not ok for the owner of the house whom you'll potentially rent and live in to see your paystub but in the other thread you parrot how HK protesters should expect to be violated if they're arrested.  | |

When renting in Toronto, its standard practice to provide credit check, a statement from your bank confirming you are in good standing/bank statements, reference letters. The other notable difference is the fact that you pay first and last month's rent up front.

Question regarding mortgage approvals. Would there be any difference in the mortgage approval amount with any of the big banks?
For example if TD is giving me 600k would RBC be any different?

Maybe a little bit, some lenders are more conservative. Some can bs rental income in depending on what you are buying  | |

When I first purchased my place, I had Scotia willing to do 900k whereas RBC was willing to do 750k.

Is small claims the only way?
Is there any sort of insurance for that?
This can be quite a sum of money if someone drags an eviction out through the courts and doesn't end up paying for like a year or more.

From the video, I can't help but think that the poor landlord is of Chinese or Taiwanese descent, and is likely a first generation immigrant.
I kept asking myself -- if I were in his shoes, would I do the same as he did to simply move on, or would have have press charges, or at least otherwise file for small claims?
At the end of the day, I couldn't come to a conclusion. On one hand, I totally think the a$$hole tenant needs to be held accountable. On the other hand, that lady tenant had to be absolutely batshxt crazy, and she knows where the landlord lives, and where the rental building is. Would I be fearful enough of the retaliation if I went on to sue her a$$?
I am just glad that I am done with the landlord bs now.

Not to mention your tenant might not even show up/don't have a shit about. Let's say you win even then it doesn't mean you will get your money back. The tenant simply can chose not to pay and then you have to go through the court again to force him to pay (IE the gov will withhold his tax refund/take a part of his wage and give it to you) and that process can still take a long long time. So in the end is it worth all that time and energy? That's why landlord ask for so many personal info to make sure you aren't that asshole tenant who won't pay and who will destroy your unit.

Say you owned a house but had to live elsewhere for whatever reason and with BC's empty home tax, you are forced to rent it out and get a tenant like this, can you sue the BC gov?

Paying a tax for something isn't being forced to do something.
You choose to pay, or choose to rent it out.

If I was in his shoes, I wouldn't try to get my money back either. I am however a vengeful bastard... lol... I'd press criminal charges for mischief and vandalism. If convicted, there's possible jail time and with a criminal record, good luck travelling around the world. A lot of countries would deny entry. Have fun explaining the conviction when applying for work.

Plus something doesn't add up. why are they going to the news to say they won't do anything. And we are only hearing their side of hte story. There might be more to the story than they let on. Quote:
