According to a Canadian CTV report on August 21, a black tenant turned every property of 11 landlords into illegal apartments that can accommodate 20 people and stopped paying rent.
It is understood that the tenant Arif Adnan Syed (Arif Adnan Syed) is facing 11 fraud-related cases for allegedly using fake identity documents in renting applications in Richmond Hill and Markham Allegations, these allegations have not yet been confirmed by the court.
It is understood that one of the landlords, John Davis, signed a rental contract with the tenant in November last year, and thought that the tenant Arif was bringing in a family. But a month later, he discovered that Arif had actually subletted all the rooms in the house. At one time, nearly 20 people lived in the whole house. Even the heater room and storage room in the basement were subletted into bedrooms.
Davis said that he charged Arif $3,000 (approximately RMB 21,000) in rent per month, but according to his estimates, Arif can earn $11,000 per month (approximately RMB 77,000).
Later, other landlords also found out that their houses had been remodeled, so these 11 landlords handed Arif to the police and asked the police to drive Arif out of the house. But who knows that the police’s answer is that they refuse to hear or consider evidence of criminal charges, or other cases related to the tenants, because these evidences are not directly related to the eviction application, so they cannot drive Arif out of the house. In March of this year, the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) cancelled the eviction application due to technical issues.
The landlord, Facion and his wife, said: “I don’t know why there is no way to stop this type of business. In April this year, when the epidemic was the worst, we rented our four-bedroom house to Arif. I did an investigation, checked all the supporting documents of Arif, and searched his past experience on the Internet. Now we know that he successfully lied to us by changing his name, and we can’t find his truth anywhere. History.”
It is reported that if you search the real name of Arif on the Internet, you will find that he has been accused of fraud. The man, whose real name is Markham, was charged with fraud in 2010, when Toronto police said they destroyed a moving company suspected of fraud. These allegations were later dropped. He also faces a total of 38 charges from Ontario's car sales regulator for allegedly selling a vehicle equipped with a rolling odometer. The allegations made last year are still being heard in court.
It is understood that although the local police were unable to prosecute, the 11 landlords still did not give up and filed a lawsuit against them on the grounds that "Arif is suspected of fraud." Subsequently, the York District Police intervened and arrested the 37-year-old Markham man Arif and his companion Hafsa Naser on Thursday, and charged them with forged documents, identity theft and fraud for more than US$5,000 (approximately RMB 35,000).
After unremitting efforts, the tenant Arif and his tenants were finally evicted from a Richmond house. The landlord couple said that when they finally evicted everyone last month It was found that their house was destroyed.
The landlord Jafarian told the media: "Someone turned the closet into an aviary. It was full of broken eggs, eggs thrown on the wall, and some for raising birds. Materials."
He said that she and her husband spent a total of US$16,700 (approximately RMB 110,000) to repair the house and replace electrical appliances that were stolen before the forced eviction.
At the same time, LTB has ordered Arif to pay more than 12,000 US dollars (approximately RMB 83,000) to the couple in rent and repair costs. The Ontario High Court ruled that Arif should pay Falxien and Jafarian in legal fees worth US$9,000 (approximately RMB 62,000).
