since landlords own the property and call the shots, my suspicion is that any trickery and harrisment is their doing. not sure though, see, I havent had a landlord in a considerable time, since shortly after the time I was apt hunting in st catharines and would enquire as to are there anyone who has given their notice and if so, I would be interested in taking that unit. just tell me, there must be someone in a building this size that has given notice. if not this month then next. etc etc. the response? well, seems if I was to hand over a months rent, that would get me on a special list. oh, so you want the first months rent up front? no, that is to just get on the 'waiting' list. ie a godam BRIBE. payola. pay 13 months rent for a 1 year lease. and THAT is typical landlord behaviour. gouge gouge gouge.
