The long delays in resolving landlord-tenant disputes are worst in Ontario but other provinces are experiencing it as well. Experts say those delays will have an impact on the already-stressed rental market.

    where landlords feel that the tenants are extremely lucky to have them

    This pisses me off so much! I’ve even seen it posted on Lemmy and I wouldn’t be surprised if a few show up here with their “without me these people would be on the street!” rhetoric. Without landlords there would be lower competition, lower demand, and lower prices. I think these people forget there was a point in time that houses were less expensive than cars and people paid them off in a few years. This was before “income property” was a concept.

      Oh jeez, you’re going way back. Income properties can be traced back to at least Ancient Rome.

      It may not be forgetfulness that sees people not realize something about what happened many thousands of years ago…
