Always good to see what the state sponsored media is spewing.

Kalu moved across the river from Gatineau, Que., to Ottawa in 2021 to access better health-care services for her daughter, who has autism.

She bought the townhome sight unseen during the pandemic real estate boom through a real estate wholesaler, which buys and sells off-market homes at below-market value, and avoids realtor fees — a risky move, she acknowledged in hindsight.

boo fucking hoo.

"Masked men throw squatters and belongings on street"

Would be the headline if I owned the house.

[DonJuan]

Anonymous call of gunshots inside home. Police enter, find whatever drugs and illegal shit, arrest everyone. Change locks. *Pay cleaning company WELL*

[ExtraSlow]

Sounds like they needed a fiduciary to assist with that transaction.

This is the craziest thing I read in that article "Lawyer Michael Thiele, who represents the tenant and the male occupant, said in an email that his clients have "the right to occupy the premises for an indefinite period of time." "

Really?

[DonJuan]

Yea, I read that too. There's some good one liners from that Thiele guy. Tenant can't pay rent but can have a lawyer on retainer. Weird

[ExtraSlow]

Squatters rights are weird. But they exist.

Remove them and their shit. Change locks. And make them prove that they own the fucking place.

Honestly being the planitiff can be a massive pain in the ass and the defendant can drag out the proceedings for a very very long time.

Force them out, let them sue you and prove they "own" the property.
Proceed to drag it out for a very long time and milk them of money.

Its very expensive to sue someone, its relatively inexpensive to defend a suit.

Retainer and legal fees prob cheaper than rent in Ontario.

No. Bob Loblaw.
He has a Law Blog.

It's sad when a presumed meth lab accidentally blows up on the occupants.

[DonJuan]

^this is also a good solution too. Small cig fire in back yard, spreads to part of house. Declared unhabitable until repairs are done. To be honest fire is probably her best cleaning solution here.

I mean, in this case it kind of is… being able to unload a headache under the guise of “under market value” to idiots is pretty sweet

[suntan]

I need to open a "Real Estate Wholesaler".

No license needed.
Don't even need to buy the property.
