No they aren't all bad. I've had good ones. They were there for us at the drop of a hat to fix things, they didn't over charge. We paid rent on time and they gave us good references for the next places we would move to. My friend currently rents a 1 bedroom apartment for 800$ in a six unit building. They asked the landlord why they don't charge more when they could easily ask 1500$ plus. He said he knows he could but he also is aware that's not in the budget for a lot of Canadians right now. So he only asks for what he needs to cover his own costs. Would you say that landlord is bad? My friend can't afford the upkeep of unexpected home maintenance and utilities on her current budget.
