Bad Landlord Award – July.9.2003

Tenants of 40 and 60 Tyndall Avenue in Parkdale publicly condemned their buildings as not fit for housing. City inspectors were called about the conditions in the buildings and to deal with a landlord that tenants can’t find. The owner received the Golden Cockroach Award for the worst landlord of the year.

* Changes Needed to Tenant Law in Ontario. Lobby your MPP to have all buildings covered by rent control. Current law exempts newer buildings. Ask also that the language be changed so corporations can't use Personal Use provisions to evict tenants.
