A small group of landlords who own hundreds of rental properties across the province have run out of money, owe over $144 million in unpaid loans and face dozens of lawsuits from creditors, according to documents filed with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.

Dylan Suitor, Ryan Molony and Aruba Butt are behind 11 now-insolvent corporations that face a “liquidity crisis” with only $100,000 in the bank, the documents say.

The landlords and their corporations are based in the Hamilton area, but specialize in buying, renovating and in some cases relisting “distressed residential real estate in undervalued markets,” said a court factum.

Those markets are in Timmins, Sault Ste. Marie and Sudbury, as well as smaller communities, including Kirkland Lake, Temiskaming Shores and Val Caron.

    2 things keep landlords from being an infinite money glitch: morality and stupidity. Somehow I doubt these folks are afflicted by the first one.

    Time to sell the properties and get a real job, damned leaches.

      Yeah like the term ‘undervalued markets’ makes me shudder, you mean where people are living and have been for years - just aren’t paying enough to in your eyes?

      Landlords are the realest leaches
