Varun SriskandaGUEST
And you know what the city tells me? Mr.
Varun SriskandaGUEST
Sri Skanda, this is an LTB issue.
Varun SriskandaGUEST
Please take it to the province.
Varun SriskandaGUEST
Well, why isn't this an LTB issue when you want to go after all these landlords? I'm hearing that a lot of this could amount to almost a form of double jeopardy.
Varun SriskandaGUEST
You're penalizing these landlords at the municipal level, and then you get them again at the provincial level when they go to their LTB hearings.
Varun SriskandaGUEST
And at the provincial level, there's no track record of who's already been penalized.
Varun SriskandaGUEST
It's up to those landlords to defend themselves and tell the province at the LTB, no, I've already paid my fines for this set of facts.
Varun SriskandaGUEST
So I think this is going to develop a lot further.
Greg BradyHOST
You want to make a splash.
Greg BradyHOST
Then advocate that the landlord and tenant board do things faster.
Greg BradyHOST
Advocate for some form of systemic reform.
Greg BradyHOST
I think a mayor could absolutely make some noise about that and ask why there's so much change.
Michelle TeichroebGUEST
No, it's not without risk.
Michelle TeichroebGUEST
And if you don't, it's so highly regulated with the Landlord Tenant Board and the Ontario Residentials Act.
Michelle TeichroebGUEST
that if you don't follow all of those things to a T, you will get behind or you will mess it up and not be able to move properly forward.
Michelle TeichroebGUEST
So people get tripped up because they want to be nice to someone who's not paying their rent and let it go too long.
Michelle TeichroebGUEST
And there's all of these things.
Michelle TeichroebGUEST
And you really have to be on top of it.
Michelle TeichroebGUEST
It is even going to the landlord tenant board.
Michelle TeichroebGUEST
Back in the day, you could go and self-represent.
Paul StevensonHOST
So we talked about this, like, how do you feel about this? Do you think this will force, I guess, tenants to be more responsible? Or do you think this is just something simply to give a bit more protection to landlords?
David WarrenHOST
I think it's a great change in the LTB for overall.
David WarrenHOST
I think it puts the onus on the tenant and on the landlord.
David WarrenHOST
There's aspects in it that the landlord also has to speed up things and on the tenant.
CarolynGUEST
Like, they came up.
CarolynGUEST
They, and the action, we went to the landlord and tenant board, and we never saw them again.
CarolynGUEST
You know, they didn't come back to the building, you know? And that's where I always have to give my, my re- my commendations to the members of our Tenants Union and the OTD members.
CarolynGUEST
Like, they have been there for us, you know? And they-
15 MINS LATER
CarolynGUEST
Probably isn't because of the new tenants laws that Doug Ford instituted.
CarolynGUEST
But we're getting people to talk to each other about, like, not paying the AGI.
CarolynGUEST
We said because AGI, w- um, the Landlord and Tenant Board said we have until March of 2027 to pay, so we've been advocating for people to not pay because this is our next big collective action to push back on the AGI.
CarolynGUEST
So we tell tenants, "If you see someone, talk to them about the AGI, explain to them what it is, what's going on with the AGI, and advise them not to pay." Right? And that's the other thing.
