in the business today is crazy Landlords dont own th llll dings anymore he said lhcy just manage them for thc tcn ant and government Mr Jennings said the final blow for BillTlf landlords was the citys minimum standard bylaw approved by council last week With thc Ontario Landlord and Tenant Act passed in 1975 and the formation of Rent ltcvicw Board landlords do not stand chance in the province he said The whole thing is vcightcd in favor of the tenant he said The combination of the three of them makes it lllllll5lll for landlords to makc any money from thcir buildings Mr Jennings said tlic city standards bylaw will ctlcclivcfy got rid of low cot rental ac commodations in Barrie He said the controls and regulations arc too severe for most owners of older buildings to comply lhc bylaw was prepared to set standards for maintcnancc and occupancy of property in the city It also forces the land lord to repair and maintain any property which does not conform wilh the standards $500 DAY Penalty for conviction for not complying with the bylaw and refusing an order to do rc pairs can be as high as $500 day for every lay the land lord contravenes the order This is an example of he km of

great he said But there are pcoplc who skip out on rents and people who do damage to buildings Mr Jennings said accordinc to the act either the landlord or tenant has to give 60 days no ticc to terminate any written or oral agreement for monthly ren tal accmnmodations But he said tenant can ac tually leave at any time without giving forwarding address for cing the landlord to spend addi
