To Landlords (“Housing-Providers:”)

Hi! I’d like to help law-enforcement & return to academia. I’d buy ST rentals from Mgrs who uphold Best Practices/BC’s Political-Belief Protected Human-Right. I’ve 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 Tenants in diff sections?
• Would u like to have some guidelines/an image-adjustment & updated software/Application Forms?
• How long can ppl stay?
• Which certified rent payment-method do u prefer?
• R u licensed/Bonded? R u in compliance w/the BC Hotel Keepers Act/the BC Occupiers Liability Act & its Duty of Care?
• Suggestion: Have u asked 4 (or received) funds to help make your property “Crime & Violence Free?” If so, does it mean your Tenants will likely buy Content-Insurance 4 a long time, & your Insurance could cover losses from unlawful acts at the property? To promote this idea, have u added Soundproofing at the Units/miked security-cameras at Common-Areas?
• Sensitive: Do u have a CR? Have u trigger-points? May I see details from a Psych Eval?
• Do u get many RCMP-callouts/traffickers?
• Do u make your Tenants do sth constructive?
• Have u requested funds so u can house ppl who do sth constructive?
• What’s it like living here LT, from a contextual SP?
• What type of person r u looking 4?
• Do u have conditions?
• What do u see as “unreasonable disturbance?” What sort of Tenant-disputes have u had?
• What r your LT plans 4 the property?

If Applicants did the Hare Psychopathy Checklist, would the results aid w/superlative Tenant-Placement?

To Roommates (“mates:”) Hi! Do u have shame-processing EXP? Would u like to live where u r accepted, but r in close 1/4’s w/strangers & still help out? R u basically decent, informed & productive? R u vaxxed/Not using? Have u a 5Yr-plan?

I’m processing what I see as interaxns w/dark personas & seek contracts where I help w/chores, do productive activity (& practice Music?) I incurred mistakes (eg, an affair)/Evictions/Refs & have no CR/DL. I don’t believe in God/marriage (& risk retaliation b/c of my activism?)

A tomboy/“Type A-” personality, I’m not active sexually. I write to fix what I see as probs partly b/c I want to control what happens to me. I can be critical, vindictive & irritable.

(At what seemed a few tryouts/“enter at your own risk-” incidents, I saw residents act out & seem to get away w/it. Bldg-morale went bad & every1 knew. “Religion-y bldgs” were murky places w/24-7 heckling & what might be “Bldg-Scapegoating” & Purge-Evictions. 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 ppl stay on track, who’d be clear about having to move out (if?) Conflicting arcs devolved into power-struggles. It seemed ppl snitched to Mgrs who didn’t verify what was said & issued delusional Evictions. I’ve no proof.)

Despite a housing-crisis (& near-0 vacancy-rate,) Canada’s shadowy (housing rental-laws) seem sundered from the light of our Constitution. Until procedures/safeguards r improved, I’d like Mgrs to sign my rough “Rights-Agreement” & work w/us on a contract which allows 4 the unexpected & options to extend/renew/re-do, & which makes us obey the Charter/Criminal Code, our Provider’s rent payment-method & (A. House-Maxims.)

TELUS has subsidized-wifi if u r eligible.

<Do u have a CR? May I see details from a Psych Eval?>

My main income is a BC Disability-Pension based on a Paranoid Schizophrenia-diagnosis I think might be mistaken. After bad rentals, I’d go to Emerg to talk about hard-to-explain effects of extreme stress (“environmental-load?”) & was told I had PS (’89, ‘99.) I’ve not seen medical proof 4 PS & want a 3rd opinion/my FAC returned.

Recovery from PS isn’t certain; I don’t take psychiatric medication (“meds;”)(Q: R meds mostly to keep Patients sedated?;) a Dr told me Risperidone (“R”) would help me sleep better. I took R (’99-‘14?) But when I began to research the side-effects of any medicine I took (sth u should do,) I felt scared. It seems meds could 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’ve had periodontal-disease. (A side-effect of R is dry-mouth, which may cause gum-recession.) IDK what caused my perio-disease, but it may be permanent & lead to more health-probs. I take a PRN to get sleep & REC Vitamins/Supplements.

(Don’t ignore signs that any kind of 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 can’t confirm that I got reprisals or that cause-stalking/“Landlord Brigading” (def?) didn’t target me (’89, MTL; ’99, WR; ‘17, KAM.) Image-wise, I may be Kamloops’ “Town Scapegoat” or “Town Whore.”

What’s real? Have I lost psychic-barriers (def?) & how they protect ppl 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/unwanted, shared thought-transference (def?) or hallucinations, perhaps while we sleep, thru walls & w/mates. (Perhaps there’s such a thing as “normal head-sounds” or I’m describing signs of PS or PTSD. But if researchers have started to prove ESP, IDK what the data’s like. Taking R didn’t rid me of “hearing voices.”)

There may be street-heckling directed at me that’s committed by ppl outside or inside our bldg, migrated from my last home & a prob AL until our bldg has surveillance.

It seems a CDN renter can end up stranded b/c “Landlording,” w/o accreditation & somewhat under-regulated, means Owners don’t have to record/remit/store critical info re: What happens at their Bldgs. The real-estate industry may entail lots of renters & little (B. Oversight)/accountability 4 Owners. Today, a Mgr may elect not to: Act honestly/fairly (even at “Interview-Stage,”) obtain an education, comply w/federal or Consumer Law/the Golden Rule, or do what a mercenary-but-shrewd Operator would do to avoid legal action/unwanted attn from govt/disrepute. There appear Providers who exploit while enjoying balance of power-/burden of proof-/leverage-advantages, granting precarious safety/power-of-choice to Tenants & creating “foot-stamping machines.” We need tested laws that reflect what your average, law-abiding citizen would do when vying 4 (a mth-to-mth Lease,) & studying the ads, sees 1 w/o apparent “no-go’s,” submits his info, gets a call, attends Viewings/Interviews, doesn’t hear about any probs, starts to think Landlord-software has crunched tons of data (re: His crime/psychology/character/creed/health/work/school/$-profiles,) after filtering it thru (eg, what most ppl do upon seeing certain signals (Welcome Mats/Open Signs=greenlight/1st-come, 1st-served,)) & is approved. “I’m in,” a just-moved in, new Tenant says. “It means they like me. On-cond I fulfill my obligations to the Owner, doesn’t the law say my home is my safest location, where I get respite & unload on-cond of courtesy towards others? When outside my Unit, I’m to be circumspect w/mates & face them head-on if probs arise.

Shelter is hard; a rental-relaish is delicate. To not overstay my welcome, why not give notice after (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 solid reasoning/evidence, then a citizenry, which may curate legislation, can help fix a blighted “quality-of-life-” image by asking various levels of govt to give grants/subsidies (eg, for Bldg Improving-/Insurance) to Owners who: Publish shop-talk/smart info, do Sales/Marketing, openly aim 4 desired clientele, use waitlists & chip in Moving-Expenses 4, or help find rentals on behalf of, former Tenants whose Evictions were meant to hide sth egregious.”)

Can we straighten out sth twisted so either party can cancel safely?

(If I can, I’d help open a chain that rents to ppl (eg, crime-victims, lone females & sex-workers, & their kids) shown to suffer bias by Providers. Clients stay temporarily & do sth constructive. I’d try to manifest the ideals 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 vs 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, get funds. Providers who retain status quo (eg, religion-y bldgs:)?)

If we meet, mind hinting at your dark side?

A. House-Maxims: Signatures r binding; Owners have most Burden of Proof; every1 does Due Diligence at the outset; “speak now or 4ever hold your peace;” if a Contract is signed, every1 gets Due Process IC probs; Presumption of Innocence is paramount; (C. “What do the experts say?”) MYOB unless u sense an emergency; get help ICE; 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:” AFAIK, a man said this (Rosewood Court-Unit #427, ’22.) To clarify: The CA Mortgage & Housing Corp implies that a Tenant, unhappy w/another Tenant, is expected to approach the offending party 1-on-1 & try to solve the prob this way b4 involving a Mgr. If a civil exchange is attempted & nothing changes, an aggrieved party may contact a Mgr & complain (Sample Letter #6.)
