Without knowing my rights, I put in a deposit when I signed my lease. Is there any recourse I can follow?

[thetruthergirls]

@mrhaider I know that technically, they are not supposed to ask for a deposit but they often do and just won't rent to you if you don't make one. So now that you've made one, don't dwell on it. If you signed the lease, you're in contract and you have to pay the rent. The deposit should go toward your first month of rent, if you're in Quebec.

Does Anita ever shower?

[thetruthergirls]

@jasonmushersee Once a week or so. She's very environmentally-conscious.

HEY SONIA

I'm all for tenant's rights. I think LandLords all too often benefit more from the arrangement. That said..

I've NEVER heard of this Automatic Lease Renewal. From what I've experienced, it nearly always switches to a Month to Month arrangement once the initial duration of the lease has transpired.

Now that doesn't allow the landlord to raise the rent willy nilly.

But conceivably the landlord COULD raise the rent after two month's notice through registered mail.

Just my 2 cents!

[thetruthergirls]

@rdority On further investigation, I found out that in the US most leases are month-to-month and the landlord can raise them as much as about 6% a year. It's mostly the very poor who rent like that and the landlords seem to have a lot of trouble with their tenants. It's not like that up here, it's totally different. The only people that applies to here are the REALLY poor ones, like bums, who rent rooms by the week or month.

It is a joke because the lords of the land, unfortunately, is the State, the "landlord" rents from the State(Pays through "property taxes").

Tenants have less rights in the U.S. (of course). Many landlords in and around NYC raise rents high, so they can move illegal workers into apartments to work for rich people. They can make much more money, renting a 1 bedroom apt to 5 or more "day laborers", at around $350 per month, than 1 tenant for $1200. It is illegal but the govt never enforces laws for rich ppl..

[flamesdemon19]

This is fucked up.lol

[crackfiendables]

people dont even realize what you pay in rent you could figure out for a mortgage and the same place would probably be cheaper to live in, renting is a shame its so unfair!!

[crackfiendables]

one of my landlords in mtl mdisappeared for 11 months, we had no running water for a week or heat, and when they sued me because my roomate wasnt paying rent then missed the flipping court date

[sheenarose88]

I am just happy I am good friends with my landlord.. She's the best! Cause this would suck having to deal with all that non-sense and drama. Well THANK YOU TRUTHERGIRLS FOR SHARING! LOVE YOUR VIDS!!
