What would you do if the life you’ve built was taken hostage?
From Rent to Ruin: The True Story of My Tenant Nightmare is the story of tenants run amok from a landlord’s perspective. What does it take to face down unhinged and destructive tenants while they remain protected by the law? What drives people to take advantage of the system? How much abuse is too much? What’s a person’s breaking point?
A housing provider in Ontario, Canada reveals the shocking story of two strangers who fraudulently gain access to his home, only to take a dark turn into abuse and criminal activity. Parallel to this mayhem, the justice system plods along, unhelpful and ineffective.
This is the story of a vilified small landlord who faced down the worst kind of tenant and survived to tell the story. They may have ruined a home, but they can’t ruin a life.
The first chapter is still available to read for free to SOLO members. Registration is free for all SOLO housing providers.
