Just total bully behaviour, something that so many renters say has been happening to them.
“I shouldn’t have to be scared to leave my room.”ĭisgusting. “I’ll be trying to leave the house and I can hear their nails scurrying on the floor and them barking because they can hear me,” she said. Sarah says that there have been a couple of instances in which the dogs are loose in the house. I’ve asked to get set up on direct deposit, but he refuses.” He even brings them when he collects the rent. These dogs are growling away and so I have trouble getting the words out. He’ll have this smirk on his face and he’ll ask, ‘So, you have a complaint?’ Like he knows how hard it is for a person with two dogs snarling at you. “But then he shows up at the door to my room and he has these two vicious pet pit bulls on leashes. “I’ve tried just texting politely,” Sarah said. The problem is how the landlord deals with such issues as collecting the rent or answering virtually any question. So, Sarah looked past the red flags and moved into the house, which was pretty rundown and in need of repair. “But I didn’t have a lot of options because at that point of the pandemic, there weren’t many places available and I needed housing right away.” “He was very aggressive with his questions and had zero patience for my questions about the home,” Sarah said. Sarah moved in last year despite some red flags during her interview with the landlord.
Like Sarah, who has been dealing with a “bully” landlord who likes to intimidate her and the other tenants of their Burnaby rental house. Well, I have and that led to this column about the “tenant from hell” but renters are just more outspoken about their issues. “Talk to more landlords,” one landlord wrote.

My recent series of columns about renters and landlords has brought out some homeowners complaining that there are too many items about renters being victimized.
