    Scenario #1 I bet the gentleman didn't report because he was tired of waiting for approval and was about to get into apartment. People face the risk of being homeless while waiting for approval for section 8 or low income housing. Some are already homeless

    Be careful. I have been in a HUD building for thirteen years. It is almost impossible to leave. The buildings fall in disrepair. I mean totally get it if that's your last choice, but I would pursue a Section eight housing. This will provide you a choice. Yearly inspections under sec 8 will help keep your landlord to maintain your apartment. But Please don't rip off a private landlord. Section 8 clients have a bad reputation.

    I just spent 10 years on the net trying to get my Affordable Housing question answered. I think this would be a good subject for you to do a video on cause there is no other information online about it. Can a Landlord require someone that lives in an Affordable Housing unit to obtain Liability Insurance in order to get that Affordable housing unit? Same answer applies to Housing Choice and 40B properties....that might help you find the answer if you dont know it already.

I got a legal aid, paid the late payments and court costs and I was let back in. Now I have a mark on my housing record.

The rents are so high in the GTA that 75,000 is nothing but 1-2 years worth of living expenses, rents 2000-3000 is insane. Explain how are we to cope without being thrown out?

      The minimum requirement depends on the apartment complex most times it's 2 to 3.5 times the rent. If you don't make this much you'll need to fill out an affidavit that states someone is going to contribute the missing income so that you are able to pay the required rent amount. If you have kids you could even list child support from their father's. You must show valid proof or have them write a statement and get it notarized.

      I know it was already done, but you did not have to take that route. You were protected under what's called Violence Against Women Act also known as VAWA (look it up). The landlord could've transferred you to another building without you incurring expenses.
      If you haven't already done, so please contact the landlord and let them know you left the unit due to DV. Failure to do so will let the billing continue under your name and this can result in a placing you into collections. I will do a video on this tomorrow or Monday.
