This article attempts to elicit sympathy for 1) a landlord who brought in a family to finish his unfinished basement in exchange for a few months of rent, and 2) a landlord who didn’t address a cockroach/rat infestation issue. The article also doesn’t once mention that all the outstanding rent will eventually be forced to be paid by the renters, and that within the massive backlog there are probably a majority tenant claims about stolen rent, illegal price hikes, illegal demands from landlords, etc.

Similar situation in BC, around 8 months for tenancy disputes to start to be processed. Dunno why this is news now it’s been like this for a long time.

are the landlords being hoist by their own greedy petards or is somebody at the board dragging feet?
