Their meetings are mostly dedicated to subject to examples and cases, as well as their masterminds.If the bill is passed, the Groves will be in a very delicate position if they want to continue teaching the way the do, and, therefore, they have ALL THE INTEREST IN THE WORLD to oppose the bill.

@Minna Hu I am sorry to hear about your experience with the local inspectors. 

Granted, this can be a learning experience about how to harden rentals properly, but it often creates all kinds of nostalgic sentiments that can flare up into conflicts with the tenants.The usual scenario is that the tenants move in, live as tenants do, and the newbie landlords go back in and find delicate stuff, or meaningful stuff, or stuff that they didn't even know was meaningful to them damaged or painted over or disrespected in some way, and then the newbie landlords get in this forum and moan about how tenants just don't respect their landlord's property, and they get ten other newbies commiserating and telling them that yes, yes, yes, they're right, and their tenants are bad, bad, bad...and of course this can lead to all kinds of poor decisions.

A very small percentage of these folks actually reestablish contact and proceed with the application.Pros: (1) ABC "Always Be Closing" - ask for the "sale" at the closing on someone who seems solid; "A" tenants don't have a chance to get placed by someone else in the meantime or flake out when it comes to meet for the receipt of the deposit to hold(2) Streamlines the process IF the applicants check out (see below)Cons: (1) sketchy people have dressed nice and behaved long enough for me to accept their deposit (and then I am aghast when I start doing my screening) which finds me awkwardly returning the deposit on someone who was quite as good in reality as they claimed on paper(2) no time to do proper due diligence before accepting moneyI know some landlords take several apps (either all at one showing or in series over several showings within a day or two, then contact their "best choice" to offer the unit to them.My concern is there is a delicate dance that needs to be executed with great applicants, as they are looking for a place for the next month and can't sit idly waiting for a landlord to call them after reviewing their application.  

Here's my issue, with this delicate situation I am going to have her give me all her son's SSI information and put him on the lease as a co-signer.  

Ontario Human Rights Code:People cannot be refused an apartment, harassed by a housing provider or other tenants, or otherwise treated unfairly because of one or more of the following Ontario Human Rights Code grounds: race, colour or ethnic backgroundreligious beliefs or practicesancestry, including individuals of Aboriginal descentplace of origincitizenship, including refugee statussex (including pregnancy and gender identity)family statusmarital status, including those with a same-sex partnerdisabilitysexual orientationage, including individuals who are 16 or 17 years old and no longerliving with their parentsreceipt of public assistance.

These types of issues are delicate especially when dealing with elderly populations.

I was showing a SFH for rent the other day, Not quite as colourful as the characters @Stephen E. had.But I had 3 interesting ones, one applicant said they have a few pets I mentioned its okay we will still consider it,after showing the unit some casual questions a few pets turned into a travelling pet expo show!

@AJ Hu - eat it and set better processes in place.

Use the same colour as the rest of the house.
