Devious tenant works the system in Canada
In October it seems she obtained an eviction order but this was cancelled “when the tenant complained of missing the hearing because she was sent to the wrong room”. She then failed to turn up for the next hearing, where an eviction order was made, but this was set aside again at the tenants request. At the third hearing the tenant was ordered to pay the back rent but needless to say Randall has not received it yet:
Although landlords here complain about delays in the system, I have not heard of a case where the tenant managed to get a extra time because she went to the wrong room. I wrote in my post here about a tenant who managed to delay things by claiming she was ill all the time.
Do you have any stories about how tenants have managed to string the system along?
