A family stuck paying rent in Toronto and a mortgage in London says they’ve done everything right to get their London tenants to move out, but the system is letting them down. Jeremy Awori lives with his wife and two children in Toronto, and they’ve been trying desperately to move to London into the townhouse they own on Fanshawe Park Road East — but he says the tenant won’t budge.
A family stuck paying rent in Toronto and a mortgage in London says they’ve done everything right to get their London tenants to move out, but the system is letting them down.
“I think the system is rewarding bad behaviour, and this tenant is taking advantage of the system,” explains London townhouse owner Jeremy Awori. “It is not right. It is not right at all. We worked hard to get this property.”
Awori lives with his wife and two children in Toronto. They’ve been trying desperately to move to London into the townhouse they own at 1010 Fanshawe Park Road East.
But, he says the tenant won’t budge.
“They have refused to move out. So my children were supposed to go back to school in London on the second of September, and we [gave] our tenants notice for a long time,” he says.
In fact, he says he served an eviction notice in February of this year, and not only have the tenants refused to leave, but Awori says they have stopped paying rent altogether.
