To Landlords (Housing-Providers:)

Hi! I’d like to book rounds of temporary stays w/Mgrs who do Best Practices, but 1st have some questions:

• What education do u have? Do u favor the Separation of Church & State/Rule of Law?
• Do u vet your Applicants? Do u put constructive/destructive new Tenants in separate sections?
• Do u need better software/Application Forms?
• What stay-lengths do u offer?
• Which certified rent payment-method do u prefer?
• R u licensed/Bonded? R u in compliance w/the BC Occupiers’ Liability Act/Duty of Care?
• Suggestion: Have u received govt funding so your property can be called “Crime & Violence Free?” If so, does that mean your Tenants likely buy Content-Insurance over time, & your Insurance would cover loss from unlawful acts at the property? To promote this idea, have u added Soundproofing at the Units/miked security-cameras at Common-Areas?
• Sensitive: May I see details from a CRC/Psych Eval? Do u get many RCMP-callouts? Have u had traffickers?
• Do u make your Tenants do sth constructive?
• Have u requested govt funding so u can house ppl who do sth constructive?
• Do u have a social context?
• What type of person r u looking 4?
• Do u have conditions?
• What do u feel is “unreasonable disturbance?” What sort of Tenant-disputes have u had?
• What r your long-term plans 4 the property?

If Applicants did the Hare Psychopathy Checklist, could the results help u decide which bldg-section to put new Approvals in?

To Roommates: Hi! Would u like to live where u r accepted, but keep a clean space w/others? R u basically decent, informed & productive? R u vaxxed/Not using? Have u got goals?

Until I’ve got a Micro Shelter, I’d like to book temporary stays, w/guaranteed timeframes, where I do productive activity, help w/chores (& practice Music?) I got life-mistakes (eg, an affair)/Evictions/Refs & no CR/DL. I don’t believe in God/marriage (& risk retaliation b/c of my activism?)

Introverted, I’m celibate/a tomboy who prefers men’s clothes. I write to fix what I see as issues. Distasteful Me c/w occasional irritability. My family may have had ASPD, but I disregard evasiveness. I want control/can be critical & vindictive.

(At what seemed a few tryouts/“enter at your own risk-” scenarios, I saw residents act out & seem to get away w/it. The bldgs’ morale seemed to go bad & every1 knew. “Religion-y bldgs” seemed to be murky places w/harassment, what seemed “Bldg-Scapegoating,” a purging & retaining of bigotry. Providers mixed good/bad ppl in bldgs w/o surveillance to monitor what went on. I’d be led to believe I might be at a rental indefinitely. No one seemed to make residents stay on track, who’d be clear about having to move out (if?) Competing priorities ran afoul & devolved into power-struggles. It seemed ppl snitched to Mgrs who didn’t fact-check & issued delusional Evictions. I’ve got no proof.)

Despite a housing-crisis, Canada’s real-estate industry & (housing rental-laws) don’t seem reigned in by the Charter/Criminal Code. Until Procedures/safeguards improve, I want Mgrs to sign my rough “Rights-Agreement” & work w/us on a DIY (Contract,) which has flex 4 the unexpected & options to extend/renew/re-do, & which makes us follow the Charter/Criminal Code, our Provider’s rent payment-method & (A. House-Maxims.)

TELUS has subsidized-wifi if u r eligible (“Internet-For-Good.”/I need a landline jack.

<May I see details from a CRC/Psych Eval?>

My main income is a BC Disability-Pension based on a Paranoid Schizophrenia-diagnosis I think might be mistaken. After going to Emergency Rms to talk about bad rentals, I was told I had PS but wasn’t given hard evidence 4 it (’89, ‘99.) I’d like a 3rd opinion/my Firearms License returned.

I don’t take psychiatric medication (“meds.” I took Risperidone (’99-’14?) But when I started researching the side-effects of any medicine I took (sth u should do,) I felt scared. It seems meds may eventually cause permanent (brain) damage. W/o Dr-Approval, I tried tapering off meds safely. (Quitting meds cold-turkey may mean death, related to how long the meds were taken/dosage taken.) I got periodontal-disease, perhaps caused by gum-recession from dry-mouth, a side-effect of Risperidone. IDK what caused my perio-disease, but it may be permanent & lead to probs. I take a PRN to get sleep & REC Vitamins/Supplements.)

(Don’t ignore signs that medicine you’ve been taking may have started harming u. If u have concerns, don’t change how you’ve been taking sth until u consult w/a Dr. Research your concern & come to Appointments prepared, w/a list of questions specific to the concern.)

I may have gotten reprisals & can’t confirm that cause-stalking or “Landlord Brigading” (def?) targeted me (’89, MTL; ‘99, WR; ‘17…, KAM.) It may be I’m Kamloops’ “Town Scapegoat” or “Town Whore,” image-wise.

What’s real? Maybe I lost psychic-barriers (def?) & how they protect us from the thoughts of others, incl victimizers. Let’s say I get unwanted thoughts: I may “broadcast” (def?) to defend my psyche, & unintentionally plague u w/unwelcome, shared thought-transference (def?) or hallucinations, perhaps while we sleep, thru walls & w/mates. (Maybe there’s such a thing as “normal head-sounds” (source?) or I’m describing signs of PS or PTSD. But if researchers have started to prove ESP, IDK what the data’s like. Taking Risperidone didn’t clear up “hearing voices” (source?))

There may be street-heckling directed at me, committed by ppl outside/inside our bldg, migrated from my last home & a prob we’ll dine on AL until our bldg has surveillance.

<Can u resolve conflict?>

It seems a CDN renter can be shifted out b/c “Landlording,” seemingly a phantom activity w/o supports, never required Owners to remit data re: Probs at their bldgs. The real-estate industry has a lot of renters & evidently little (B. Oversight) or accountability 4 Owners. There appears little compunction 4 Mgrs to be honest or fair (even at “Interview-Stage,”) get an education, comply w/the Constitution/Commercial Law-ideals/a Code of Conduct/the Golden Rule, or do what mercenary, shrewd Operators will likely do to avoid legal action/unwanted attn from govt/disrepute. There appear Providers who take liberties while they enjoy balance of power-/burden of proof-/leverage-advantages, grant precarious safety/power-of-choice to Tenants & create “foot-stamping machines.” We don’t seem to have a tested legal-structure that reflects what your average, law-abiding citizen will likely do when vying 4 (a mth-to-mth Lease,) & studying media, sees an ad w/o apparent no-can-do’s, submits info, gets a call, attends a Viewing/Interview, doesn’t hear about probs w/his Application, starts to think he’s passed filters (“all r welcome”/1st-come, 1st-served/seniority) & background-checks (into crime/psychology/character/belief/health/work/school/$-profiles) & is approved 4 a Tenancy. “Seems they like me,” the new Tenant thinks. “If I fulfill my obligations to the Owner, doesn’t the law say a person’s home is his safest location, where he gets respite, & lets off steam on condition of being mindful of others? Outside my Unit, I’ll try to be circumspect w/mates. I’ll face them head-on if probs arise.

Rentals r sensitive, so I ought to give notice after staying no more than (6mth-2yrs.)“

(Disclaimer: This paragraph refers to what Taylor sees as real/ongoing: (Cont’d:) “If these r hopes of a renter who scruples but finds that his Provider evicts w/o giving sound reasoning or evidence, then a citizenry, which is permitted to curate legislation, can help repair hard feelings & a poor quality of life-image, & request various levels of govt to give funds (eg, re: Bldg upgrade-/Insurance-costs) to Owners who: Publish perspicacious advertising/Company shop-talk, do Sales/Marketing, openly specify desired clientele, use waitlists & chip in Moving-Expenses 4, or help find rentals on behalf of, former Tenants whose Eviction-Causes r shown to be egregious.”)

Can we straighten out sth twisted & add off-ramps letting either party cancel safely?

(If I can, I’d help open a Chain that rents to groups (eg, crime-victims, lone females & sex-workers, & their kids) shown to get bias (& worse) from Providers. Clients stay temporarily & do sth productive. I’d try to actualize the concepts of truth-in-advertising & right to informed choice, serve a human vital-need & preserve life-&-limb, not prioritizing “subject-to-interpretation concepts, like tourism” (source?) Or concerns w/how a bldg looks, how I look or how I make a Provider feel. I hope CDN Providers, shown to treat ppl humanely & operate what may qualify as infrastructure tradeable at the TSX, get funding. Providers who retain status quo (eg, religion-y bldgs:) IDK.)

If we meet, mind hinting at your dark side?

A. House-Maxims: Signatures r binding; most Burden of Proof is 4 Owners; Due Diligence is done at the outset by all parties; “speak now or 4ever hold your peace;” once a Contract’s signed, every1 gets Due Process each x a prob arises; Presumption of Innocence is bulk of decision-making; (C. “It’s what my Dr thinks;”) unless u sense an emergency going on in your mate’s Room, MYOB; if u sense an emergency going on, get help; freezing some1 out may affect a community; Instigators may bring ruin.

B. CDN Non-Profits don’t have oversight.

C. “In Canada, it’s what your neighbors think:” Did a resident at Unit #427-Rosewood Court say this (’22?) But the CA Mortgage & Housing Corp implies that a Tenant, unhappy w/another Tenant, is obliged to approach the offending party 1-on-1 & try resolving the prob openly b4 telling a Mgr. Next: If a civil exchange is attempted & nothing changes, the aggrieved party may contact the Mgr & complain (Sample Letter #6)(Surveillance+Soundproofing=Have it 2 ways?)
