The video explains that it can be hard for a landlord to deal with tenants that do not pay or do illegal things such as rent out an apartment although they are not the owner. In both situations the Landlord had to access the Landlord and Tenant Board to sue the Tenant for unpaid fees, but had to wait months to process paperwork. This can allow the tenant to stay free and becomes very costly to the landlord. This video shows some of the responsibilities as well as difficulties that a landlord can face when dealing with tenants. The video goes on to say that there is ‘not much sympathy for the landlord’ which can put landlords in a situation that they have to increase their rent to recoup their losses.
