It actually comes down to risk vs reward. Just like everything in life.

You play the game knowing the rules and knowing the risks, if you can stomach the risk then you get the reward.

The cliche of nice guys finishing last is true. We live in a world where life isn't fair and if you play by the rules you can have a good moral conscience, but you may not win the "game". If you play by the rules great, but there are so many out there that aren't. So you just have to pick your side and stick with it, but realize there are others who are going to pass you by.

Realistically, the RTB is so stretched for resources I can't see them reviewing evictions. It takes 4-6months to get a RTB hearing, they don't have the resources to do any reviews as you suggest.

If the rental increases were fair, to begin with, maybe more landlords wouldn't have to play these "games". How is it fair that people's mortgages went up 30% and they can only raise rent by 2%?
