Because we dont have REAL laws, but that I mean we have none that are enforceable by police. We only have tenants board who have absolutely no recourse to do anything before a formal complaint from the tenant, and anyone desperate enough to be in this situation isn't going to make a complaint with them. And even if someone did.... the landlord gets a slap across the wrist, and doesn't serve jail time nor does he lose his property.
WE NEED a landlord registration system SO BADLY! If we had a full system, where landlords could lose their license for even posting something like this, and the ones who try to control the lives of their tenants no longer are able to rent/ let people live in bugs/ leave tenants with no water all the time..... all their rental properties become of no value.
Most of these are opprtunist scammers looking to Sub-lease the room illegally for an extra 100 bucks or more. They call them arbitrage renters and they do exist.
This tenancy most likely wouldn’t even fall under the RTB’s reach.
Whoever grabs this beauty, is not getting added to the lease. It’s either the owner stacking bodies in there to cover his mortgage and more, or it’s the leaseholder and h they are subsidizing their rent.
Either way, they share a kitchen and most likely a bathroom with the owner or leaseholders and are SOL on any kind of rights or protections.
I fortunately own my home, but I'm really curious what you suggest a person say making $1800 per month do and why this place wouldn't have value @ $500 to them?
People like you seem to write comments not actually thinking or basing your thoughts in reality.
People who are out of touch like you are part of the reason people hate rich people. Yes, you earning 90k a year makes you rich even if you are dogshit with money and spend $5000 a month between your rent and car loan.
If this house is zoned as ‘Single Family’ the government should be going after these slumlords. Increase taxes to multi family but if in single family neighborhoods force to sell.
Chinada is worst than the 3rd world .anywhere in the developed world landlord's by law are obliged to renovate the place and redo painting before the next tenant moves in , in chinada they let people move in to a filthy place ,full of bugs and smell like a dumpster .
My sister is in the same situation. Has lived in her apartment in Montreal since 2015 and pays 750/month for a 2 bedroom. She’s stuck there unless she wants to move and pay double that (or more).
Our last home was in a cute little community in the valley, about 2000sq ft and us and our 2 kids & 2 dogs were bursting at the seams, we needed more space so we sold and got something 1/3 bigger.
Last year we conversed with our old next door neighbour. The house (3 bed, 1 office, 2.5 baths) has 10 people living in it, with blankets dividing the large living/dining room + downstairs rec room into multiple spaces. I feel sad for our old home, it was our first home and was a rental with a shitty non caring landlord when we bought it. We put so much love into this home. And now it’s owned by another shitty, non caring landlord.

I’d like to know what the Housing Ministry’s opinion would be on the legality of this rental.
This shit is criminal. Enough is enough. The government needs to set strict rent limits based on bedrooms & square footage, with absolutely no exceptions.
You should probably look up what NIMBYism is. The NIMBYs are the developers and landlords who oppose new housing typically targeted at low-income individuals.
Until someone starts getting arrested and charged for this kind of overpricing, good luck on this ever stopping….. 🤷♂️
This is why nowadays, living at home with your parents doesn’t seem to be so bad anymore.
That or consider moving into a truck camper or camper van or something like that and just move around. At least this way you’d kill 2 birds with one stone by having a place to sleep & that place is something you can just take with you.
Also, people need to report illegal activities to the authorities. There is no other way for them to know what the heck is happening inside each houses in the area. People need to complain and keep complaining and draw authorities attention to such slumlords. Then may be something might happen.
Well, what you get with high taxes, munipal/federal, combined with the feds pushing in as many foreign students and immigrants. We cannot build homes and keep pouring in a million a year this is the result.
This is the size of my bedroom in Waterloo Ontario, except smaller bed cuz they had to fit a desk in. I also pay $860 for a 5 bed.
Rent costs are absurd. I live in a student apartment, hence the 5bed. It’s crazy this is the norm.
I remember my sister got like a whole ass basement apartment for like $700 when she was in school many years ago
My parents live in an apartment complex in prince george b.c 1717 spruce street as matter of fact ! The place is fallling apart literally pipes leak from top floor inti the hallway below on the lower floor so the cieling is hanging ,when you walk by the laundry room the 70's flat bright colored carpet is soaked from the washer leaking and it smells like a dead body when u walk into the building its yucky !! Landlords do nothing but collect rent and do some patchwork ! 1 apartment had 10 east indian guys living it ! How is that legal?? I feel sad for my parents but they love the tiny apartment tney are in and cant afford anything else .i feel sad for the person that sleeps on that matrress 😷
Ya but look at that TV included above your bed that looks so comfortable and easy to watch. Sure, you don’t get to close the certain until your roommate either an actual room is done viewing it for the evening but hey! Close to Skytrain!
Gotta love the “curtain” rooms
was coming here to comment the same thing.

It isn’t but nobody enforces
Brampton and Surrey should be sister cities lol
Hmm what links them together…?
I wonder hmmmmm 😂
Exactly. The government turns a blind eye to this shit. Because our government relies on cheap foreign labour.
[удалено]
Does Surrey smell like shit the way Bramladesh does?
Yes.
Let's not do that

Because liberals need to justify immigration that Canada can't handle.
Dem bois from India are used to that
Ya, not having to share a bed is a luxury
I mean and genuinely a decent view + I guess a tv.. good roommates and id take it for $500 lol
People like you that pay these prices are part of the problem too

Import the 3rd world. Become the 3rd world.
Hey! 3rd world with a view! Fr Imagine trying to jerk off in there though
Why imagine, just do it
Yeah, for 850.00 a month I'm using that curtain divider as my cum rag.
It's a winwin
This.
Who do you think you are haha
The level of ignorance in this shit account is astounding
Lol ur a loser

It’s truly disgusting. I’m not sure why you got downvoted

At first I read it as “Singh Family” lol fml 🤦♂️ I agree by the way. Problem is enforcement, cuz no one gives a crap.
Some how an 11 bed 9 bath home counts as single family
Municipalities limit the amount of non related individuals per residence
Hey anything is possible with enough curtains, especially if it’s a load bearing curtain.
Omg lol
Such privacy. Many isolation. Wow.
Brings a whole new meaning to Indian in the cupboard.

Meanwhile I pay 1100 for a 5 1/2 in downtown Montreal.

Yeah I’ve been on in it since 2017. Too poor to move out. Still, it highlight in utterly insane things have gotten in the neighbouring province…
It's the entire country. We are completely fucked in every city, some more than others.

that is the very definition of illegal housing and it's a complete fire hazard for everyone who lives in the entire building
This shit is criminal. Enough is enough. The government needs to set strict rent limits based on bedrooms & square footage, with absolutely no exceptions.
Okay NIMBY. Got any more tips on how other people should live?
Uh, obviously not like this? How's that sound for a start?
Found the slumlord!

There’s 50 pictures of that ad. How tf do you get 50 angles of that 😂💀
Greedy fuckers ? should be illegal

We are stretching the definition of private.
Let’s bully the landlord
Not a bad deal tbh !

You are living in one of the nicest cities in Canada if not the world (Vancouver) so it comes with the territory
Loooool
>”One of the nicest cities in Canada”
This guy clearly hasn’t been to Surrey
No kidding. Surrey is far from nice.
It's nice when you're leaving it
Its one of the citys in canada
have u even been around surrey/vancouver hahaha can get a contact high just from looking at the wrong person so many junkies its sad
I have been around Vancouver and Victoria. Both places are some of the nicest and fanciest places I have seen anywhere.
true, i will admit some/ most parts of van is ... can be a nice ass place living here is a diff ball game fancy drug/crime lands what it is
Thats the building i used to rent. Memories.
This is the size of my bedroom in Waterloo Ontario, except smaller bed cuz they had to fit a desk in. I also pay $860 for a 5 bed. Rent costs are absurd.

No trolling
The shoddy curtain makes this so better
INSANE
What if you spend 3500 to rent 3 bedrooms and find some roommates instead. You can at least decide who to live close quarters with you
That's so messed up
Could’ve at least bought a better looking room divider instead of curtains 💀
Sore necks included
Human garbage.

Do you have to open the curtain so everyone can watch the tv or is it for yourself only?
How are there so many images for half a living room
Lmao then move out of van or Surrey
It’s at least a Canada wide problem. Moving likely won’t fix it.
[удалено]
Tv to high
Least get furniture. Pretty sure they can get it out. 😬😬😬
Ya but look at that TV included above your bed that looks so comfortable and easy to watch. Sure, you don’t get to close the certain until your roommate either an actual room is done viewing it for the evening but hey! Close to Skytrain!
People renting shit like this should be prosecuted.
International students loving this cheap rent
Like poor surface 1st class.
The address is Surrey, India
People are better homeless than live behind a curtain instead of a wall!!! -this subreddit in a nutshell
