You mean the International Students that need a place to park their Ferrari Roma? Because it's not the Slumdog that's attending UofC.

Said companies should get reported. Some new immigrant family or student comes here and thinks that's normal so they comply. That's complete horseshit. Seriously report them

Couldn't believe it when I read it.

To whom should I report them? Also, where would I look up the law that I am reporting them under?

They're having an open house at the property, should I go along and do it there?

Also, incase anyone thinks i'm making that up

[jutes]

With warm regards. Thanks Kristeeen.

They aren’t asking for the etransfer password so I’m going to go against the grain here and say that it seems fair to me. Rental market is crazy and they don’t want to waste time with non-serious people so this at least helps weed those people out.

I know ballers don't rent, but those of us who are poor don't really have $2000 to be sitting in purgatory for a month or so...

[sabad66]

If it actually takes a month then fair point, that’s a decent chunk of dough to be sitting around.

God I wish I was a baller….I still take transit downtown lol. Single income two kids is a killer.

It’s annoying. But not having that amount available doesn’t exactly speak volumes about your ability to reliably make rent payments so it kills two birds with one stone.

Honestly transit is the best way to and fro downtown esp in winter.

Probably this is the other reason for it.

I would like to do this for selling stuff on Kijiji or Facebook Marketplace, send etransfer link prior to the ability to send an “is this still available” message.

[ThePenIsMightier]

But we all voted to "mAkE tHe RiCh PaY!!!!1!1!" so how is this possibly impacting negatively on someone who isn't rich.

Know why people ask? Because sellers actually do forget to take down ads. Happened to me a couple week ago.

"Oh yeah, that's gone. ha ha."

Thanks dipshit.

Could quite easily come out of the savings, but then it's not making me any interest (however small the amount is)

And I think some banks will charge you $5 cancel fee on the e-transfer (you they don’t select you as tenant to go through with rental)

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

They might have auto deposit too…

[killramos]

You know if they have auto deposit before you send the transfer.

It’s inconvenient for you by design. Inconvenience cuts down on tire kickers.

It’s no different than putting a deposit down on anything.
