Man, any time we see a landlord try to pull a fast one on a tenant, and then the tenant proceeds to teach them a lesson, it warms our hearts. In this case, it really just seems like the landlord didn't expect the tenant to do their research. From there, soon as the truth came to light, you can pick up the clear scent of resignation from the landlord trying to continue onward with their antics. Check out another time a shady landlord was defeated by a moral enforcer.

    Text - Hi L friday? you sent the payment on 11:03 a.m. Hi no I didn't. I was waiting for you to tell me if I'm leaving or staying like you said. If I stay, l'll pay rent. If I'm not staying, then I don't have to pay rent for October, as I paid first and last when I moved in. Right? 11:09 a.m. No i said you will continue to make regular payments and I will refund you your security deposit which us equal to one month of rent when you vacate. That way you get back your last month rent.

    Text - Text - so regardless of what happens with the house sale you were to continue making regular payments. 11:13 a.m. But. that was not a security deposit I That wS first and last gave you month's rent as standard in Ontatio. I'm not sure you can change that to a security deposit when it was given as first and last month's. Let me look into this and l'll get back to 11:14 a.m. you.

    Text - Text - yes please do. it's last month rent hold as a 'security deposit' by the landlord and refunded when the property is vacation and in an acceptable condition. normal wear and tear excepted. 11:16 a.m. D vacated* 11:17 a.m. No no. First and last month rent indicates first month and last month are paid. A securit deposit is seperate. I've rented from 5 different places before. They've never changed it from last month to a security deposit. 11:17 a.m. D

    Text - Ok no problem 11:20 a.m. Thanks. Security deposits are not allowed in Ontario. . For example, a landlord cannot charge a "key deposit," or a repair deposit, or any amount other than a last month's rent deposit. If the landlord charges a rent deposit, it must be held and used to cover the tenant's last month's rent. T www.legalline.ca » legal-answers » .
