Wrong assumptions lead you to wrong conclusions.



lol

What's more surprising are the replies:

People are like "Aw, shucks dude. Nothing you can do about it now. Better pay them money to go away."

If you lease something in my country, a copy of the lease signed by the tenant and landlord goes to the government. If it's not with the government, it's not legal. How the fuck do they not have a system?

So, if you buy the house, are you supposed to leave someone at the house to guard it so that no one takes over the house? What is this medieval shit?

There was no question in your post.
You need to provide the info from the period specifically requested by IRCC in your ADR.

Thank you kindly.

What I'm guessing is there's a part of the story they didn't want to tell. That's probably why the woman couldn't go the legal way and sue them because she's also in some shady shit with the land lord and/or the broker. I wouldn't be surprised because I've seen with my own eyes in Vancouver how land lords only accept payment in cash and never by bank transfer. I guess you can figure out why they do it and also that it'd be foolish to even think those land lords would make a receipt for the monthly rent paid.

I won't only bash Canada over this. In terms of real estate, every single one of these so-called developed countries is an absolute shithole.

How is something like this even possible in a developed country?

Aren't leases registered with the government first?

It's sad really. It's the same even in free, pro-gun, Castle-doctrined Texas. You cannot use (deadly or not) force on squatters and have to let the courts do their thing and that takes time.

It's the same in India too, legally speaking. Although, you can bribe some policemen or politicians to get it done sooner extra-legally.

This is the case in South Africa as well. You can't simply evict a squatter or a non-paying tenant. You have to go the legal route. They can continue to occupy your space for 90 days until the court gives them notice. You also cannot claim damages from them.

I had a similar scenario few years ago, with a tenant that was not paying for 5 months. I couldn't evict them, so I started removing stuff from the apartment gradually to make it uninhabitable (doors, window panes, cut off water, electricity, etc), which eventually forced the tenant to leave .

This is all so fucked up! Why would you put in a million-dollar of your money that is so fucking fragile to own!

If I own a pace of land, I will always have to stress about it. I must constantly worry about squatters taking over and there is absolutely nothing I can do about it.

Why would you want to purchase any property?

Empty lots/land are even worse. In SA, people take over govt-owned land as squatters and even the govt has to go to court to get them off it. It takes months (even years) to resolve. It's a hot mess.

I am shocked about this happening in Canada though. As someone in the market looking for a house to buy, it scares me.

Imagine this scenario:

You buy someplace for 300k over asking and take a mortgage on it. Some emergency comes up and you need to visit your home country for a couple of months. You come back and someone has taken over your place. They have the fucking legal right to live in it until the courts do something about it. There is absolutely nothing you can do on your own. And you must keep paying mortgage on it along with a taxes.

Why is there a fucking law to support squatting!!!



what in the absolute fuck is this mess

I'm just relieved to see that law has been abolished in Saskatchewan .

True. The legal route in Alberta:

Easy there tiger - when I said there is absolutely nothing you can do, I meant it. You can't walk in the squatter's "residence" and shoot him either. Even in Texas, you have to living in a place to claim that the squatter was trespassing. The whole point is squatters will take your empty place and there is nothing you can do about it.

They don't call it squatting but they do support it. You can't go to the police and register a complaint against the person because it's a "civil matter".

Makes me sound crazy when I say I don't want to own land ever.

I rather just rent a condo from a legit rental company like the one that evil conservative leader owns. The only problem is price gouging.

When you said there's nothing I can do, you forgot to add "besides putting the asshole on the hot end of the barrel".

No I can't shoot him. I can dump a whole mag of AR15 at his feet though. If he's still staying, he sure as hell deserved it.

This just prevents them for claiming eventual ownership. Nothing stops them from squatting until a court order of they come up with fake documents and have bills in their name at that address.
