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.
“we’re bleeding money” so lets get my mother-in-law who is already in a long term care facility to move in and not pay a dime which will end up costing us MORE in the long run as she’ll need to be cared for.
But you own 7 other units, why not just sell one or two of those if you’re “bleeding money”.
I just wish people would be honest every now and again and simply say “We make a lot of money but we want to make more.”
