According to the rules of statutory interpretation, legislators use words for a reason.

I would bet that in OH, you will see new legislation when the first person who gets screwed for $10K by a broker selling "his" property in a "wholesaler" role complains that the broker didn't represent the OWNER in the transaction.

Statistical mortgage data is also available from the Schedule 1 banks and other lenders - information on individual mortgages would be covered by privacy legislation and not made publicly available.

Perhaps these changes were part of the new State legislation effective 1/2017.

@Jesse SchultzWhile what you out line is often how "rent-to-own" is practiced in Canada  - and was practiced in the U.S.A. until recent legislative changes - that scenario could be viewed as financing and/or an instalment sale by the CRA.

A local legislator has proposed changing these rules but to my knowledge it's still in draft phase.  

Anyone who operates with this mindset is obviously oblivious to the machinations of the legislative process in the US Congress.

When you don't pay attention to possible legislation that can hurt you.

The originator of de-regulating the financial instititions and passing legislation to let people who could not afford mortgages have them.

Nobody is suggesting that they will take away the private healthcare options that you have now...if you think your current plan is better than the government-sponsored one, then keep yours.I find it hard to debate on legislation when it's clear the other party hasn't even read it...stop being lazy and do some research, please...
