Thanks for everything you do for us as small landlords. It is also a very good thing that we can hold bad tenants accountable for their actions, especially the professional tenants that play short term games of not paying rent. There is always a long term consequences for them!
A very useful site; hopefully saving landlords thousands of $, and likewise assisting good tenants with their housing needs.
A request for consideration. Find out if you can access the names of those to appear before the LTB and offer as a option/service notification of such hearings ahead of time to those they have wronged.
Thanks for all you do - That said, I'm hoping I don't have something to upload soon!!!
Well done! We ALL, and that's Landlords and Tenants, all need a resource such as this one. I wish I had been able to research in this fashion before I got stiffed for $25k in unpaid rent.
Thank you for another save from non-paying tenant posted in OpenRoom. Hope you enjoy this Amazon gift card!
Good morning
The work you are doing is invaluable to most landlords and property managers alike. If the word of your group could really get out to everyone, meaning not just landlords but tenants as well. This tool could act as both a deterrent as well as an incentive to both Landlords and Tenants. Of course I am not sure how this would work.
It’s difficult to get my head around how this might work however, the tool could act as a double edged sword for both Landlords and Tenants and as an incentive to both.
Anyhow, keep developing, this has become a goto tool for us and the more landlords we get joining, the better the tool will become.
Thank you.
Make this website a go too tool for TRREB, if you can work with TRREB to make openroom accessible to all realtors as part of their membership benefits, it will be a great resource for Landlords.
Love the landlord testimonial. [RE: Landlord Story: drugs, non-payment of rent, and on the brink defaulting of on mortgage]
Thanks for being an advocate for equity, fairness and justice.
I liked reading about the Sewards’ story. Especially for help with identifying and locating the tenants/offenders. [RE: Landlord Story: drugs, non-payment of rent, and on the brink defaulting of on mortgage]
I’m a small landlord and a quick read of your newsletter I could see you are looking at the “human” side for all involved-landlord and tenants. Life is not one or the other. It’s both. 😁😍😁
I find the newsletter very insightful, I have learned about my co worker tenants not wanted to pay over 9 months. She feels because she is a single mother with kids and no job the tribunal will delay it. I was shocked , but let her know about your page. She started the process of eviction.
You are amazing. My husband and I only have one small rental house and your database and newsletter have been incredibly helpful. Thank you!!
The News Letter is perfect, the government of Ontario does not care and I wish all Landlords could pull their properties off the market, and hit the government where it hurts. Leave more people looking for homes to rent, with no place to rent. That would certainly get the government's attention.
Appreciate your efforts to advocate on behalf of Ontario landlords!!
Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge with us, you make a huge difference!
This is the first newsletter I get to read and I’ll be happy to keep reading new editions in the future.
Thank you for doing this and all your work creating the website. You're awesome!
love yourplat form (Openroom Comment: we think they meant to say "platform")
Loved your newsletter and always use the openroom. I have never found a potentially tenant on it but it is such an important resource. I have posted my bad tenants on openroom. Thank you so much for setting it up for us.
This is a constant reminder to scamming tenants. If their name is on open room and a landlord checks it, renting with them will not be possible.
You are doing a great job! Someone found my bad tenant through openroom and found me on Facebook to thank me for posting there!
Great work! Sorry, i am moving or would have participated in the offer to assist w/ the site. Take good care & keep up this need work! �
I think the news letter was great - well rounded and representing different perspectives. I think removing the tenant names from the search in the instances stated is a good idea. Would like to see more states and data if possible in the future.
Thank you. I am just wondering how to promote the OPENROOM.CA to every people as possible. If success, we will have a ecosystem that any bad behavior will have the consequences...
Thank you for your efforts to advocate on behalf of Ontario landlords, unfortunately necessary because of dysfunctional and broken LTB system
Great newsletter, and I really appreciate Openroom as a channel for transparency. Thank you for all that you are doing! I believe in transparency and its importance in a democratic society. I'm not sure I agree that tenant names should be hidden, although I understand the need to appeal to the tenant side, too. Please keep up the great work!
Been in the game since 1977 as a real estate broker, and property manager and since 2008 as a licenced paralegal. About time you people came along. Let me know if there's anything I can do.
We appreciate all you've done and continue to do. As a small landlord the ability to easily search public record of judgments to aid the already difficult process of qualifying tenants is extremely helpful. Thanks SO much
Great stats breakdown! Lets see those eviction numbers from the condos… should be scary!
Very informative News Letter, great job! Rental Housing Providers have come a long way. When do you think the government will change the name landlord to RHP? I have written 26 letters to Mr. Ford over the last 3 years and starting using RHP after a few letters thanks to Chris Seepe's recommendation and explication. I have finally received a detailed answer from the Minister of Housing from my last letter. To me this is a sign that finally they are listening to us. So all this work is worthwhile.When one looks up the origin of <landlord> then one realizes it is time to remove it from today's usage as RHP are so much different from what landlords were 10 years ago. Well RHP would be another step going into the right direction just like your newsletter is another step in trying to change things for the best. The LTB is broken and the lack of respect of many tenants towards RHP has never been higher. I rent out apartments for a property manager and I cannot believe the comments I receive from entitled tenants as soon as I advertise a unit. They are not just comments but attacks...almost threats.... I always try to beat them to the race and disallow comments but they seem to be just sitting there and waiting for the opportunity and therefore sometimes, win the race. Mr. Doug Ford has really changed the attitude of tenants in this province and how bashing RHP has become a trend and, it seems, they're right!Well, enough, great work. Looking forward to your next newsletter. Richard
You're doing more than I could ask. I appreciate your efforts, research and dedication.
Love what you are doing for the rental industry... keep up the hard work!
Well done! We ALL, and that's Landlords and Tenants, all need a resource such as this one. I wish I had been able to research in this fashion before I got stiffed for $25k in unpaid rent.
I appreciate your efforts to make the system just a little better every day.
Thank you so much for doing what you do! This is so valuable.
We were delighted to see evidence that our Bad Tenants, which we had to do a ‘cash for keys’ settlement to remove them from our property last year due to lengthy LTB delays, have finally got an official eviction on their record from screwing over yet another landlord. Karma!
Thank you very much for creating Openroom.ca! Such a great resource!
Recently I rented out my unit to a tenant with fake credit and eviction on her name and started the long eviction process with LTB. This would have been avoided if I used openroom as screening process. I hope you guys can continue develop this and make everybody's lives better
OpenRoom, let me tell you, you're doing an incredible job! Believe me. I know rentals. I am the best about rentals! Open Room is fighting the corrupt LTB, so corrupt! and FAKE NEWS! We need to make rentals great again, folks, we will make rentals great again.
Thank you for what you do. LTB is so broken for both tenants and landlords. We need to stick together to avoid bad tenants and landlords!
(Luckily) I have a great tenant but here’s a couple coffees for the work you do to help safe guard against LLs for the future.
