The Landlord and Tenant Board found the landlord’s conduct ‘deplorable,’ saying they clearly took advantage of a vulnerable tenant.
Wow what a scumbag. I hope word gets around-- This should be the top search result for “Adam Malamis” or “Simalam web development.”
To try to get the money, he would have to take the order through the complex Small Claims Court enforcement process. That’s because, as an administrative tribunal, the LTB doesn’t have the power to enforce its own orders.
So the tenant was rough sleeping while suing for wrongful eviction, without a lawyer and won, the landlord hasn’t paid what to him is pocket change, and now the tenant still has to sue again because the tribunal can’t enforce their own orders? Welcome to the Americas. I’m so sorry USA Americanism has metastasized so far, so rapidly, infecting Canada, the UK, Oz and everywhere else.
The u.s has this group of big biker guys who accompany abused children and help them testify in court and make them feel safe.
We should do that for tenants, just a group of bikers who will show up to your landlords house with you to collect your money
The* USA could address this legally, no bikers needed, but we won’t, because the wealthy and powerful would have consequences, instead of just the poor and disenfranchised. Besides Epstein who “died from suicide,” and Maxwell, have you heard any news about anyone else who visited Epstein’s Island being charged? How about Matt Gaetz? Or his buddy? What about djt or the Clintons or Bill Gates? Have they even been investigated? No. But there’s a biker group who help a few.
*Edited word
maybe it’s easier to get more tough guy gangs to stand up to the fascists. i’m down with whatever works. i honestly don’t see a way to fix it by working within the system. buy guns.
You are exactly right, too. A while back, something about lifestyles of the wealthy in the gilded age in the USA blipped across the news. I looked up tax rates for then, and right before the Black Friday market crash. With the dismantling of Glass-Stegall and anti-trust/anti-monipoly laws, we’re very close to those tax rates. We keep repeating lessons learned and it’s very sad. You’d think the ultra-wealthy would remember why there was a middle class, to begin with, but they can’t manage to retain even that memory.
He deactivated his and his company’s Twitter account. Remind him what a scumbag he his when he activates those accounts again in a month.
Has he also deactivated his company’s mailbox? I know stamps are more expensive than Facebook comments, but the cost to your soul is so much less.
I think the benefit to Facebook comments is that they’re public. what’s the benefit to writting a letter if other people can’t see it?
Nothing is stopping anyone from taking out a full page ad in a local newspaper and writing their letter that way. Otherwise, I agree, a letter would just wind up in the trash and probably cause the douchenozzle landlord to double down.
I did maintenance for a low income building. They would have me upgrade specific units so they could Airbnb them while they denied low income applications to keep those units empty. Disabled people who needed housing were denied because it was more profitable to leave it empty and rent it out to tourists a few times a month.
We also didn’t do maintenance on specific units in order to get tenants to move out. There was a specific unit that was given to new tenants that would routinely flood. They used it to get rid of people that complained too much. If you only complained a little and cooperated with their bs, you could eventually move to a unit that stayed dry all year.
NIMRH Not in my rental house.
