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.

: 1- tightening the screws on tenants, like no storage in balconies

: the landlord sends tenants a notice stating that the landlord

: the landlord pretends to inspect the stoves and frigs ( a cursory

: the landlord sells "all" the appliances to a friend as "junk",

: 3- the landlord does unnecessary repairs to the balconies, etc
: 	the landlord calls the unnecessary repairs
: 	"capital repairs", a contradiction in terms.
: 	the unnecessary repairs never end.
:        :loop
: 	the landlord does some chipping (noise, dust, emptying the

: 	the landlord covers the chipped places
:         the landlord jacks up the rent on the "stay put" tenants by 4%
:        goto loop 	
: 4- if the "stay put" tenant gets fed up (planned), he has to move out
: 	to a new place.  a new tenant is not protected by
: 	harris' "Tenants Protection Act".
