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.

    And instantly jacked up the rent beyond what was legal. And when that failed tried to evict the tenant and when that failed waited the requisite amount before issuing another eviction also they can make more money on the property.

    I don’t fucking ever want to hear about “impoverished landlords” they can get fucked.
