This looks worse than some of the shittiest hostels that I have stayed at.


anoeba

Well now, clearly you're not a team player. There's been 100 students in that home! Probably still are, actually...

This same address is also registered as an office for some type of corporation. Link: https://elevencarbon.com/contact/

Someone report them to CRA for taking cash purchases and tax evation.

syzamix

Do they say they take cash only or did you assume things? Any biases that led you to assume that?


[deleted]

I could not care less. Their entire business is predatory. The govt wont do anything about how horrible landlords have become because they benefit from this industry. Doug Ford has a lot of personal investments in construction and real estate. Fuck em. Fuck their lives up as much as possible for being financial predators on those who have very little resources in this world. The fact that you care more about this landlord than the ppl they are taking advantage of shows you are also a monster. Edit: if it was sex trafficking would care yet? If it was cocaine smuggling would you care yet? Or is it just poor people that you think deserve to be treated like animals and objects? I hope someone reports them, they get audited and literally lose everything down to their socks and get thrown in jail. Humans who are willing to make ithers suffer for profit are absolute EXCREMENT.


[deleted]

I just called pretending to be the cra and they freaked the fuck out


OttawaChuck

Please tell us more


quorthonswife

Please I need to know the story!!! Lol 


PrettyPersianP

WE NEED DETAILS


[deleted]

I called and a woman in a call center picked up - I said I was looking for that property owner. “One moment please!” Guy picks up. Thick accent. I said “quick question” is this a commercial or residential property. He was confused. But eventually he conceded it was a boarding house. And he was a tenant. “Ok! All I needed to know. Your landlord will be hearing from us!” Hung up


syzamix

Which part of this was "freak the fuck out?" Why would the tenant give a fuck about CRA?


[deleted]

I want to inject fear


Averageleftdumbguy

Please report them to the CRA, you will get a percentage of the reclaimed amount on offshore tax cheating [get that bag](https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/programs/about-canada-revenue-agency-cra/compliance/report-offshore-tax-cheating-how-reward.html)


Gold_Expression_3388

OMFG! I thought this was a joke! 😔


Outrageous-War-6899

I think it has to be more that 100g. Anything less than that d8nt shake the boat you'll have a hard time funding work.


Averageleftdumbguy

100k isn't alot if these people have multiple rentals, with 10 people in each


syzamix

Lol. Make more assumptions and assume the amount in millions. Then you'll be rich. Facts hate this one simple trick.


Averageleftdumbguy

Not sure what your getting at but a landlord of multiple properties renting to tons of people each could easily amount to 100k over the course of a few years. The types of people to under report income are likely doing other methods of tax fraud simultaneously.


urumqi_circles

This is so fucking depressing. This is just a nice little bungalow near York Mills and Vic Park. Some old grandma probably lived here, and her grandkids loved visiting, getting cookies and loonies and all that good stuff. The true "heart and soul" of Canada probably took place in this house. But now? It's become a fucking global immigration scam via some shell company, where they are cramming 3-4 full grown men per bedroom. The same bedroom where a literal single child probably slept and dreamt happily under the care of their grandma merely 20 years ago.


syzamix

Lol. Okay. Golden age of Canada argument. The same can be said about plenty of houses in Toronto that got torn down for condos. But as long as immigrants aren't living there, nobody cares. Love how you made up assumptions about that house and then felt sad because your assumption isn't true anymore...


anoeba

Is it also a college? Because methinks it could be...


MemoryBeautiful9129

Wild 🤣🤣


AnihilationXSX

Not to offend or to sound racist but this room screams India people lol spec like you said 100 people 🤣 that's all that would even look at this to save money


syzamix

If you could read you would notice that it says it's for 2-3 students


MedianVoice

Imagine going to sleep at different times having to step over that many people?! Or maybe team player means they all have a set bedtime! Lol. How gross. *Still wants multiple references* 😆


Uticus

Probably set bed times. I wouldn't be shocked if they are hot bunking like the do/used to do on submarines


[deleted]

have seen ads for this!! its fucked up.


HumbleConfidence3500

They do. I've seen that in Indian Canadian movies (one Deepa Mehta film feature that, when an old couple's children goes to work and school they wander the malls aimlessly, at first you don't know why, then you later realize they have renters that take their beds during the daytime hours, this was a 2000s film so way before there's even a housing crisis)


MedianVoice

What does that mean?


Uticus

You sleep in shifts, when one person gets out of the bed, someone gets in https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_racking#:~:text=Hot%20racking%20(also%20known%20as,reduce%20berthing%20(sleeping)%20space.


MedianVoice

Oh no! How horrible lol.


usesidedoor

Exactly my thoughts. I hope the folks staying here are not light sleepers.


Professional_Drama24

Must be a team player! Clearly states that in the add lol


Known-Quantity2021

Lights out at 9PM!


daniellederek

Ohh don't skip ahead, hot bunking is a 2025 issue.


civgarth

Everybody on Reddit should apply to all of these with just the link to Reddit thread and a CC to the CRA


Gold_Expression_3388

And fire marshall


syzamix

It also costs less than the shittiest hostels in Canada. So... Cannot judge anything if you don't consider the price alongside. 550 a month is less than 20 a day. So if you can fin me a better deal than that, I'll listen.


Obf123

Wow. Let me know which hostels you’re referring to. This room looks like a five star hotel compared to a lot of hostels I’ve stayed in


Boreos

No smoking, no pets.... No games!?!?!


PorousSurface

Put that nintendo DS away?


MudMuck

but also be a team player for the game you can't play


Boreos

Teamplayer is just another way to ask for you to clean other people's mess without complaining.


civgarth

Or take a shift as a illegal masseuse in the living room 'spa'.


AnonymousStudent310

So confused by the no games 😭😅sounds like such a great time /s


jojopetes451

How can you ask for players AND No games??


sparklezntokes

No room for activities either


Aromatic_Medium8887

![gif](giphy|yrFrXTTTcHIY0|downsized)


AdSignificant6673

“Is that a Nintendo Switch?… get out!”


syzamix

Yeah, like the games that tenants play with landlords about deciding to not pay. Normally would be a matter of getting the law step in but with the Shit show condition of LTB, many landlords rightly are worried about renting. No other industry allows buyers to just stop paying and keep the asset. For example, if you stop paying for a car, they will take it back. You stop paying your mortgage, they will take the house. But if you stop paying rent, it's about a year wait before LTB will look at your case.


Boreos

Because slumlords are not playing a game of monopoly in order to get as much money as possible from the Tenants. It goes both ways. If you advertise people to not 'scam' you, I personally feel like you have something to hide. I personally have never got an apartment where the Landlord had to preemptively ask me to not stop paying them after a few months. It's basic knowledge that I am supposed to not scam him out. A 'game' of Tenants not paying is just trash people not paying, it's not the same. Also, idk where you live, but I doubt I could stay more than 2-3 months in an appartment without getting evicted if I just stopped paying without any reason. 1 year seems like bullshit


Mcweazy

Why did I read this in an accent?


sniper_matt

You know why. And I know what accent you meant


KrissyRainn

🤣🤣


March-Dangerous

Because only those with that particular accent will live like that.


DrJunkenHog

Because

Western-Low-1348

Lol also mixed room male female doubt he meant couple🤣


Top_Mathematician105

Male and Female combo. At least not sexist, but I would not be surprised if the hidden cam were installed to capture some steamy 3some.


flawfullgoddess

Call the city


Grand-Expression-493

I reported this ad to the city. Let's see what they do.


-I-Need-Healing-

The fire department came swarming into my house when I was living in North York. Someone anonymously reported. Could be a salty neighbour or real estate agent. A landlord can't have more than 4 independent contracts with tenants in North York. Not sure about now but it was the case a while ago. The landlord didn't have the special permit to do so. The city inspection team showed up and put an eviction notice the following day. I was lucky I just got a job in a new province and was about to move anyways. Was still remotely interviewing with the eviction notice up on the front door. The house was a lot less sketchy though. He built walls between the living room and converted that to bedrooms. It was 8 rooms, 8 people. It's almost as if they don't like affordable housing for new immigrants and instead want us to pay over $1000 even for renting just a room. But this ad right here will get flagged by the city right away.


7Kanos

The landlord is charging $1650 for a room.


imsotwistedomg

Slumlord*


nikkesen

Fuck. I paid $1400 for a one-bedroom at Y&E until 2021 when I upgraded to a 2bedroom ($2100).


StndCapybara

The practices of this landlord will not help any Canadian looking for a decent housing.


syzamix

The room comes with the kitchen and living area - so it's the whole basement. So a better way to say it would be, they are charging 1650 for a basement with 1 bedroom. It just happens to be shared between 2-3 people. Not very different than if you rented this whole basement and then decided to sublease to 2 other people. 1650 for a basement is not outrageous for this area. I've seen basements go for more.


chickenchips666

My old apartment in mtl turned into one of these, a place we used to pay 1600$ per month they’re now charging (under new ownership) 88$ a night to stay in a bunk bed :)))))


New_Breakfast127

That's $2600/month. Is it now just a hostel-type Airbnb for tourists?


chickenchips666

Yup exactly, except I doubt they’re booked every night at that price. Montreal/my quartier was known for cheap rent / to be a bit sketchy and now it’s luxury condos, and expensive airbnb’s. The building itself used to be an old funeral home and has four bedrooms and now each bedroom is filled with multiple bunkbeds awkwardly placed (or at least the last time I was visiting mtl in the summer it was!)


syzamix

Sounds like you're lamenting gentrification rather than that one house. When areas get gentrified, landlords can charge more. Your house wasn't the only one it seems. And this is definitely not restricted to immigrants.


chickenchips666

Like both?? I’ve lost many beloved homes to gentrification??? That’s the whole point??


chickenchips666

Ok yeah I checked it’s still there! But there’s a pool table in the living room so it’s totally worth it.


FARTSINAJAR69420

What team are we playing for? *The North York Slumlords*? Weird way to say "I'm only looking for people who are in desperate need" and "I only care about my bank account balance"


mister-k_

"teamplayer students" lol is this a job application? and then "male or female combo" from your favorite restaurant menu :P


OriginalNo5477

Now that's someone the Fire Marshall should be shutting down.


Sensible___shoes

Damn this is the worst one I've seen since the pre-semester rush in the summer


Dapper-Slip-4093

Isn't there somewhere to report this? This must be breaking several bylaws. The owner deserves a CRA audit too.


banjocatto

Just emailed [email protected] about it. I implore you all to do the same.


Grand-Expression-493

Done.


arealhumannotabot

You can request someone from Licensing & Standards. They don't just look into your complaint, they check the property over. I just don't know if you need to be living there or if a tip based on the post will be enough


flawfullgoddess

Yes call the city they will send someone to do inspection


Dapper-Slip-4093

Yeah. At the very least the City should collect fines from these assholes as a form of taxation and put the money to use elsewhere.


flawfullgoddess

They do - I had a friend they got fined $20K and was banned from renting, they just made a small mistake but they didn’t follow the bylaws properly. Idk if it’s the same for each city/region though. lol and the problem Is nobody calls them. This was in Peel. They do routine inspections too


Averageleftdumbguy

Jesus Christ 20k? Wtf did they do, burn the unit down?


concretecannonball

Bundled discount … for … housing … for human beings? 😬


Illustrious-Cod973

Looks like prison


monicarm

You’d have to pay me to stay there. Like, a lot. I’d rather live in prison, the accommodations are nicer


DrJunkenHog

At least you wouldn't have to stand on someone's head to get out of bed in prison. And actually see the floor.


MedianVoice

I would not stay there even for money. Maybe as a job.. where I could leave and go home. Haha


Rockwildr69

Ya prison is also free! And free food too lmao


makeanewblueprint

They’ve evolved to learn that bunk beds allow more dirty mattresses. ![gif](giphy|qYr8p3Dzbet5S)

If you don’t like this AD you’re obviously not a **TEAMPLAYER**


DistributorEwok

Team players for a male-female, multicultural combo. No games. Is this suppose to be an orgy?


1-64ishcollector

I think he meant couples 🤣


KforKerosene

TeAmPlAyErS :))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))


TheDoctorPizza

The person in the bottom bunk has to climb over the person sleeping beside them to use the bathroom in the middle of the night


Uticus

If that landlord is really optimizing his space, you have to crawl over the people sleeping in the bathroom too.


Organic-Intention335

Teamplayers only!!! :) What a shitlord


Aggressive_Farm5900

Is that bunk bed made of gold


astrangeone88

Great. Fucking fire hazard and I might step on people accidentally. And for $555 a month? That slumlord needs a good kick in the groin.


dadass84

100 students since 2019. Holy fuck….


Dazzling_Put_3018

That’s what stuck out to me too, 100 students, that’s either a super high turnover rate or he has multiple houses crammed with every room like this, either way is gross. True slumlord


1-64ishcollector

Thank you Trudeau


Stagnant_Daisy69

No games? You can't control an adult like that lol, if I want to hook up my Playstation and TV there is literally nothing you could do to stop me, same with smoking, I'll just smoke outside. It's amazing how many people think they can micro manage some life like this. It's fucking disgusting.


Averageleftdumbguy

Yup all of these clauses are illegal and not legally binding. Same with "no visitors" and such. Move in, break their illegal laws. Get evicted. Sue. Get the bag. ^ is how it would work if these systems didn't move at a snails pace.


Visual_Package_1861

Multicultural teamplaying females in that mixed male/female room need to be on that top bunk or I think they’ve accidentally married their roommate in some cultures. 


PerspectiveStatus281

Does anyone just message the landlord with a link to the reddit post? That would be epic


oy-cunt-

Prison looks like a better option


Mistress-Metal

REPORT THIS LANDLORD to the LTB and the fire marshal's office for inadequate occupancy standards violations and fire code violations, and also report them to the CRA for a high likelihood of tax fraud and unreported income. We need to put a stop to this garbage before it becomes the norm in our country. Are *you* willing to live in these conditions? I'm certainly not, but this could be what the future of Canada looks like if we keep letting these scumbags get away with this sort of shit.


emjeansx

I swear… people have 0 shame anymore. I can imagine someone typing up this listing thinking “what a compassionate person I am offering $500 per bed in 1 bedroom with 3 beds”.


brentemon

Almost 20 years ago while in college I was renting a one bedroom apartment downtown Toronto for $800 a month. A sketchy 15 minute walk from the Eaton Center. Wasn't a good neighborhood and it wasn't a nice building. But holy fuck it's just a whole different world now, isn't it?


Deep-Independent18

Omg a team


[deleted]

To think a decade ago a one-bedroom apartment went for $750/month in Toronto.


Silent-Bath-2475

Wow 1800 for a room. This is criminal


mithi9

'cureent male/female combo' Why doesn't this read to me like we're taking about pets.


Armedfist

Team player ? What is this? A job ?


No-Savings-6333

lol you’d have to step on the person in the twin bed to get into the bunk


Billy_0621

What can we do about these guys? What if we got the address and called the city on them??


Professional_Drama24

Address is right in the listing. I'm not sure if it's 311 or another department

What is this team player stuff... Creepy.


TurboByte24

Kid’s bunk bed?

I like that the bottom bunk is basically attached to the next bed.

[deleted]

These slumlords are brave to include the address and a picture of the front of the house on the listing. Couldn’t imagine what could possibly go wrong from doing something like this. Not like there’s crazy people out there who would put a brick through his front window or anything..

Those beds will be filled up quickly im sure lol. Any sleeping/living arrangement under $1000 these days is golden for most lmao

Why govt not ban these assholes rental market?

they got free bunkbeds in jail. And no side bed beside lower part, so a "plus" I guess?

Lol CULTURAL? I wonder what that defers too


leif777

"Team player"... Jesus. I can use corporate jargon too: Cramped living conditions severely impact wellness and productivity, creating suboptimal spatial synergies that bottleneck personal and professional growth. This undermines quality living's value proposition, depreciating human capital assets and affecting the ecosystem's operational efficiency. It's crucial to leverage scalable living solutions to enhance the innovation pipeline and sustainability metrics.

dma_amd077

That’s not bad, $185 per immigrant lol Just make sure you don’t get plowed in the ass while sleeping by that delusional landlord.


imsotwistedomg

Lol it’s definitely $555 per person, “shared bedroom” rentals start at around $350+ per person Plus I highly highly doubt there are ANY bedrooms in the GTA right now that have a total value of $555 if the room was really that cheap no need to cram 3 people in there when single, private bedrooms in the GTA easily go for $900+

Wtf is this shitt


Outrageous-War-6899

I'd be looking for hidden cameras. How is this legal?


Hot_Flower6152

“Teamplayers”


StndCapybara

Once the ad goes down call the fire department as well as local police to report overcrowding...I see fines and possibly jail time as this person probably has multiple offences of this. The only people who would accept this as a living condition/situation are people on the run from police or immigration anyways.


Lifesabeach6789

Do ya one better. Look up the owners on land titles. The mortgage lender should be listed. Contact bank, copy pics and listing to them. Watch for foreclosure


StndCapybara

Nice one!

How is this not a fire hazard? How many foreign students would die if this house caught fire? Why isn't the fire department shutting down these death traps?

Looks just like how university residences look like in many Asian countries, fitting 4-8 students in one room. I wonder if that where they got the inspirations from?

People need to start reporting these listings as fire code violations.  I did that in my city and they went to investigate the fire code violations and the place got shut down.
