2 X 2 - The Concept
Over the past month the co-op has attempted to evict members of two units. The streamlined approach allowed for two separate time-frame votes. All went according to plan, except for the questionable handling of the envelopes with the tallied results - they might have been switched.
This will probably be the last eviction process before the members as Bill 14 will soon be in effect. The Property Manager will then be able to go before the Landlord Tenant Board (co-op sector division) with unlimited evictions in hand and seal the deal.
Not fully satisfied with merely evicting people, the Property Manager will acquire a No Trespassing or Restraining Order barring the member from setting foot back on co-op property.
Not fully satisfied with that, the Property Manager will then charge back $5,000. up to an unlimited amount of money for fictitious damages to the unit and ruin a member's credit rating.
Not fully satisfied with that, the Property Manager will attempt to blacklist a person from living elsewhere.
Not fully satisfied with that, the Property Manager will then seek out other victims to destroy.

If there was any question about voting results, people there should have challenged it then and there. Or they could get a petition to have meeting be re-held and with more strict rules on voting, counting and the results. I'm curious as to what the exact questions were on the ballot --- and I ask that for a very specific reason.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't bet on it being the last. Even tho last time I looked, Bill 14 has not been officially proclaimed into law, I guarantee that co-ops and the sectors have got everything worked out for when that "magic day" comes. In fact, my guess is that there'll be ratcheting up of evictions. Remember that co-ops can move to evict, member can have their appeal but co-op isn't obligated to follow thru until they're ready. Co-ops can simply let the member twist in the wind about eviction until they're good and ready to finalize it.
ReplyDeleteAs for the No Trespassing notice, that is most often used in cases where eviction based on assaults, violence, criminal activity. If it's used for a case of rental arrears, only thing I can think of as far as a rationale, is that they want to prevent that person from moving in with neighbours/friends.
Co-op managers coming up with fake damage claims, making sure members' damage deposit is pocketed in full by co-op, blacklisting person from getting decent housing in future? That would never happen in the open, democratic, caring nature of co-ops. [sarcasm off]
