The Landlord and Tenant Board found the landlord's conduct 'deplorable,' saying they clearly took advantage of a vulnerable tenant.

I mean if he is actively lobbying the government to increase his taxes so that free housing is available, sounds like a good landlord

Until you learn they're ending homelessness by criminalizing vagrancy.

Well yeah, those vagrants effect his Airbnb business.

Yeah I guess it depends who they give money to

Rock and a hard place for me with this mentality. Exploit the weakness then close the gap. Shit it’s better than previous landlords. So the ball is rolling the direction we want. Maybe not at the right pace though.

I mean the landlord could also have a mortgage to pay. You have to evict at some point. But, ideally, the government would be able to step in, recognize the risk presented to the tenant, and either pay their rent or issue a moratorium on the mortgage so that they wouldn't be evicted.

If the landlord was trying to fight for such government support, then they're doing the right thing

Classic case of hating the game and not the player.
