Discouraging

While trying to use Google to find out who to complain to about the Sheriff's total lack of co-operation and insistance on adding thousands of dollars to the cost of this landlord and tenant nightmare, I came across a report from the Federation of Rental Housing Providers in Ontario.

Everything we are experiencing and going on about is a well known problem and has been documented by the FRPO. The Feb. 2011 report, Justice Denied: Ontario's Broken Rent Dispute Process includes a whole section on the Ontario Sheriff's offices and their monopoly on the eviction process. It recommends that private baliffs be allowed to handle evictions as they are in other provinces.

The whole thing is ridiculous!

And people wonder why there is so little affordable housing in Ontario.

Off to write really bitchy letters to Ontario MPPs - and then perhaps a newspaper article or two.
