Bruce Boudreau Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 There are also many drug dealers who shoot other people in the face. What is your point? These criminal douchenozzles are OK because other criminal douchenozzles (who just happen to donate significant amounts of money to the BC Liberal party) do the same thing and get away with it much of the time?

ronthecivil Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 It's two months notice, and the landlord has to give you at least one month of free rent. It's one months notice for bad conduct. The issue is ultimately one of gentrification. The DTES is becomming a nicer area. Rent is going to go up in that area. And it's not just greed from landlords driving the process. It's young upwardly mobile adults (Yuppies) who are moving into these areas and paying the increased rental rates who are the other side of the coin. If there are other issues like unsafe asbestos removal going on, that is a criminal matter. The people responsible should obviously be prosecuted.

ronthecivil Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 On the face of it, no. However I believe in the concept of "you break it, you buy it" and there is much "broken" in this city to the advantage of developers and dirty investors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buggernut Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Well there is but it's about to smack them in the face when this property bubble comes crashing down in flames. Then they will be begging for tenants! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satan's Evil Twin Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Are the zoning and height restrictions that ER addressed earlier one reason why the bubble hasn't burst already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buggernut Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 My old boss is starting a framing job on probably one of the first 5-story (or 6, I forget) wooden frame buildings in BC. I imagine those will become all the rage in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry_Wilkins Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I doubt the warranty would be still valid 30 years later. Anything built 30 years ago would seem to be built poorly because the standards were less then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronthecivil Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 This was the case only several years after it was built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
