A New Brunswick tenant says he’s being pushed out of his rented bungalow as retribution for complaining about his landlord, but his landlord says she’s the victim of an unfair tenancy tribunal ruling that is preventing her from using the unit to house family.

Jonathan King and his landlord, Ashmin Goolab, have been embroiled in a bitter year-long dispute involving a notice of a 65 per cent rent increase, a failed eviction attempt, and claims that the unit is needed to house Goolab's mother-in-law.

King, who lives in Chipman, said Goolab is trying to force him and his wife out of their affordably priced bungalow in an effort to circumvent New Brunswick's rent cap, and as retribution for a complaint he made about being given improper notice to alter their lease.

Yeah, there are assholes on both sides of the landlord tenant dealings.

I saw a reddit post once of a tenant complaining the landlord was withholding the damage deposit due to new stove top needed. The tenant was looking for sympathy and shared a photo of the stove top. It was the glass top style and looked like the tenant had claned it for a few years by scrubbing the surface with 40 grit sandpaper and used angle grinders on the baked on part.

A family member managed a low income building:
There were tenants who removed all the plastic switch plates and plug covers, and pulled all the baseboard and door jamb frames off.

One had a closet full of garbage and human feces. Toilet worked fine.

One had a water leak they never reported and the entire lower kitchen cabinets looked like it was being eaten by an alien tentecle creature made of black mold.

People just aren't well, whether its a tenant or a shitty money grabbing landlord
