Toronto man says landlord evicting him to rent unit to Airbnb.

# data[].attributes.body
This article is about a man and his wife being evicted because the landlord's son wanted to move back in. He is allowed to under "personal use" eviction but he believes the apartment is actually being put up on Airbnb rental. I believe that he has the right to be angry because it is a little unfair for a landlord to boot out a tenant for his own family.

From turmoil in Syria to eviction fears in London. 

# data[].attributes.body
This article is about a family that is facing possible eviction after noise complaints. They didn't start receiving any complaints until a new neighbor moved into the downstairs apartment. They don't believe they made much noise and tried they're best to prevent it because if they get evicted they'd be stranded in Canada. I don't think its right that a landlord can give an eviction threat to a tenant just because another one is being too unreasonable.

They fled danger and uncertainty to come to London for a better life.

The last thing the Syrian refugee family expected was to face eviction from their new home.

But that's the reality for Muhammad Othman, his wife and three young children, Kurdish Syrians who

arrived in London only four months ago from Lebanon.

The reason for the ominous new twist in their lives that's left Othman feeling "miserable"?

Too much noise from their place - the sound of furniture moving and, apparently, a child or children running.

"I was very happy and looking forward to (coming to Canada)," said Othman, through translator Daryos Dary, who is helping the family to adjust.

Last week, the family received a notice threatening to end their tenancy in the west London apartment owned by rental giant CAPREIT, saying they had seven days "to stop the activities or correct the behaviour described . . . and avoid eviction."

The notice followed two earlier warnings.

Such shape-up notices are nothing new to seasoned renters, but theirs has shaken up the refugee family.

"I came here to be a very good citizen and didn't want a bad record," said Othman, 41.

He said they don't move furniture around, and there's only the sound of his children playing.

"It's hard for the kids to adjust," he said.

The Free Press spoke with the building manager, who referred questions to the company's head office.

Repeated calls and emails seeking comment, last week and over the weekend, were not returned.

CAPREIT offered to move the family to a different unit, but it won't be available until September, said Othman.

The family of five moved into their apartment three months ago.

Their two eldest children, Sevine, 8, and Sipan, 6, started school at Riverside elementary.

Othman's wife stays at home with their youngest son, Sibar, who is almost two.

About a month and a half ago, someone new moved into the unit below theirs - and that's when the family said its troubles began.

Almost immediately, the Othmans started getting noise complaints.

A letter dated May 5 from the company said, "should we receive any further complaints regarding the above mentioned, the landlord will proceed with legal action and will be serving you with . . . (a) 'Notice to Terminate a Tenancy Early'. This will place you in our legal department for early termination."

The family said they covered as much of the floor as they could with rugs and blankets to try to muffle the patter of tiny feet at play.

Their toddler, Sibar, was the noisy one, they said, as he happily babbled away during a reporter's visit to the apartment and zoomed around the place.

But the complaints kept coming.

On June 4, someone even called the police, they said.

It's "very unfair," said Dary. "They are children full of energy and excitement, it's not fair to stop children being children."

Othman said he's worried the family will be on the streets, after having travelled halfway around the world, leaving Syria and Lebanon for a better life in Canada.

He's even considered going back to Syria, whose brutal civil war has displaced millions of people.

"They don't have (another) place to go," said Dary. "They don't have anything, they don't even have a job, they don't even speak English."

Tenant billed by Ottawa Community Housing for bloody clean-up.

Tenant billed by Ottawa Community Housing for bloody clean-up.

# data[].attributes.body
This article is about an elderly man named Roy Hobbs who was threatened with eviction and billed for cleaning up blood after his friend was attacked in his apartment . His landlord stated that he is being held responsible for the actions of his other guests. Hobbs believes he is being treated unfairly and that the perpetrator who also lives in the building should be getting an eviction letter. Hobbs took his complaint to the Ontario Landlord Tenancy Board and was able to evade his eviction and reduce cleaning costs by half. I believe that Mr. Hobbs should not be punished for something he didn't do even though it was in his home you can't always be responsible for others.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
On May 14, Hobbs says he let some acquaintances into his apartment. A short time later, a female friend was attacked inside his apartment then stumbled out into the hallway and elevator, leaving behind a bloody trail in the hallway of the social housing residential tower near Britannia Park.

The woman, whom CBC News is identifying only as "J" to protect her privacy, was hospitalized and required 11 surgical staples to close the wound at the top of her head, Hobbs says.

There was blood on the walls, in the hallway, in the bathroom. Roy Hobbs, Regina Street resident

He's been reeling with guilt since the incident.

"It's been extremely taxing, my anxiety is really high. I failed to protect my friend," he says.

Hobbs, who is 62 years old, says he's a quiet man who spends most of his time painting inside his apartment, but on the night of the incident he let three other people into his apartment who knew "J."

He was in another room getting cigarettes when he heard sounds of a heated argument, he says. He didn't see his friend being struck, but saw the aftermath.

"There was blood on the walls, in the hallway, in the bathroom. It was just a lot of blood from a head wound in the middle of her forehead," Hobbs says.

Machete attack suspect charged with murder in separate case

Police were able to track down the machete-wielding suspect after the May 14 incident and laid charges of assault causing bodily harm, assault with a weapon and carrying a concealed a weapon against 34-year-old Daniel Adjetey-Nelson.

Adjetey-Nelson is the same man recently charged with first-degree murder in the stabbing death of his ex-girlfriend's father while he was out on bail.

Prior to his arrest in the homicide case, Adjetey-Nelson lived in the same building as Hobbs at 2651 Regina St.

Hobbs says he has been co-operating with police and doesn't understand why Ottawa Community Housing would punish him for a crime he didn't commit. Two days after the attack, an eviction letter and bill for washing the blood off the hallway walls and elevator was slipped under his door.

The OCH document, shown to CBC News by Hobbs, stated: "Your guest 'J' was hit in the head with what 'J' described to be a machete, causing her to bleed in your unit and in the common area ... the cost to clean up the blood in the common area is $391.09."

"Why are you charging me for the clean-up? It's like a slap in the face ... The [alleged] perpetrator, he lives in the building, too," Hobbs says.

Held responsible for actions of his guests

OCH's lawyer told him he was being held responsible for the actions of his guests, and there was concern he was putting other tenants at risk, Hobbs says.

But he believes he's being treated unfairly and wonders if OCH sent Adjetey-Nelson an eviction letter as well.

Under the Residential Tenancies Act, OCH can terminate a rental agreement if the tenant causes substantial disturbances, commits illegal acts such as drug trafficking, misrepresents their income, damages property or if there is serious risk of safety where the tenant lives.

Several tenants told CBC News they were afraid of Adjetey-Nelson, and that he was dealing drugs. Police sources told CBC he was a known gang member.

Douglas Baum, Adjetey-Nelson's defence lawyer, says his client was required to live at 2651 Regina St. after securing bail because his neighbour was his surety. Baum said Adjetey-Nelson lived by himself and never mentioned to him that he had any problems with his landlord.

The trial for Adjetey-Nelson on charges stemming from the machete attack is set for next June, while court proceedings on the homicide have just started. Baum says it's unlikely his client will get bail again now that he's facing a charge of first-degree murder.

More than 20,000 calls to OCH safety hotline so far this year

Ottawa Community Housing, citing privacy concerns, would not say if they started eviction proceedings against Adjetey-Nelson.

But speaking in general terms, CEO Stéphane Giguère says if Ottawa police make a recommendation that someone be removed from public housing because of safety risks, they can act quickly, but the majority of the time evictions are an "elaborate process" which require hearings and testimony from witnesses.

"It's one thing to make a call, but it's also very important to follow through and provide us with the evidence and provide Ottawa police with evidence," he says.

OCH oversees 15,000 apartments in the city and so far this year there have been more than 22,200 calls to its safety hotline. The calls range from parking complaints to noise infractions to suspicious activity. Giguère says about one per cent of complaints result in evictions.

As for Hobbs, he decided to fight his eviction and cleaning bill in front of the Ontario Landlord Tenancy Board. With the assistance of a legal aid representative he staved off eviction and cut the cleaning bill by half, but must pay the full $170 fee that's required when filing a complaint with the board.

Terrible eviction of disgusting tenants!

This tenant not only forgot to pay their rent... they spent it on junk and left it all for us! The sheriff who evicted them didn't bat an eyelid because he sees this situation all the time in this area.... Be careful where you invest! High crime, high eviction areas can cost you dearly.
