Utility collections go hand-in-hand with that, if they don't pay their lights/gas, their home expense isn't top priority (over say, a cell phone payment or cable), so you can expect rent won't be top priority above all else.I rent mostly in low-c areas to immigrant populations, so my tenants don't always have social security numbers and credit scores.

The client is likely an "illegal immigrant" (I don't have a problem with them), but it's may make things more difficult in attempting to collect.

That in conjunction with planned immigration numbers into the GTA make it a pretty safe bet in my eyes.

Horror #4: we rented a 3/2, 1120’ SFR to a minister, his wife, and 4 home schooled children.  

Canada's welcoming immigration policy, highly-rated education system, and our government support system provide the perfect setup to entice international students.

You had a big influx of immigrants at about that time- Polish, Italian, Irish, etc.

Milwaukee, on the other hand, retained its character as a city that was built on Lake Michigan shipping with large populations of German, Slavic, and Italian immigrants.
