My first reaction was “Fuck You” upon reading the questionable headline, but it seems that there are actually people living there.
… leafing through piles of forms she gathered from her tenants, including cellphone bills, drivers’ licenses, social insurance numbers, tax documents, business license and rental agreements.
In the end, she gave up tracking down the forms as specified and didn’t take the option of filing a notice of complaint.
she gave up
She’s too stressed to deal with over-complicated CoV bureaucracy, and it was easier for her to reach out to the Vancouver Sun where she can actually talk to someone without feeling like “some kind of criminal”.
IMO this is a good landlord that’s getting shafted. Maybe she can hire someone to fill out al the right forms for her.
Her adult sons are also two of her tenants. She only needed to provide proof of residency for a single tenant. I feel like that should have been a slam dunk in terms of acquiring what she needed to prove something is occupied.
She gave up
While I can commiserate with getting overwhelmed, she needed to get help before giving up. As someone who has had lots of brushes with the CRA and the IRS and being strongarmed for more money during tax time, giving up is a surefire way to end up paying the highest end of whatever fine whatever agency is trying to pin you with. Maybe she wasn’t fully aware what would happen if she ignored this, but I don’t think that’s really any excuse either.
Good points. Why couldn’t her sons help her out, unless maybe they weren’t present? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
sussy wussy
It’s pretty trivial to prove residency. They’ll take literally anything, so the fact that she doesn’t have anything acceptable means she’s either incompetent or knows she’s talking BS.
Man that’s wild. I can’t imagine just…giving up and hoping the government forgets about you after they’ve issued the notice. She can’t ask tenants for a phone bill, credit card bill, anything from 2021? Sounds like she provided data for other years, none from 2021.
Love it! California should take note.
The headline is questionable, please read the article fully.
Yeah it’s incredibly misleading.
The woman was required to provide evidence for a given year and then gives bills and paperwork covering unrelated years.
This person sounds dumb or confused.
