Bill 60 Breakdown: Is Doug Ford FINALLY Listening to Ontario Landlords? | What Landlords Need to Know Ep. 4

🚨 BREAKING: Bill 60 has dropped and Ontario landlords are BUZZING! 🚨

After years of advocacy, the Ford government has finally released the first reading of Bill 60—a game-changing overhaul to the RTA that could reshape landlord-tenant relations in Ontario. Kevin Breitner, Rob Di Lisi, and Kayla Andrade break down EVERY major change: N12 reforms, N4 notice reductions, Section 82 deposit requirements, faster review timelines, and the HUGE controversy around security of tenure removal.

⚖️ In This Episode:
📋 N12 Changes - 120 days notice with NO compensation (but tenants can still challenge)
⚡ N4 Notice Period - Cut from 14 days to 7 days (but still need LTB hearing)
💰 Section 82 Reform - Tenants must pay 50% of arrears to delay with maintenance issues
⏱️ Review Applications - Shortened to 15 days for faster resolutions
🏠 Security of Tenure Removal - The BIG ONE that has tenant unions SCREAMING (and why Rob actually disagrees with removing it)
👮 Enforcement Boost - 8 new sheriffs to speed up evictions
🤖 AI Integration - Faster LTB order processing on the horizon
📊 Public Transparency - Final LTB decisions may become searchable

⚠️ REALITY CHECK:
This is ONLY first reading, folks. Bill 60 still needs to pass second reading, third reading, and receive royal assent. The tenant unions and NDP are already mobilizing hard against this. Kayla breaks down why landlords need to get LOUD with their MPPs RIGHT NOW to see this through.

CRESI Ontario Landlord Series Podcast
20-24% Returns with ZERO Landlord Headaches? The Rent-to-Own Strategy Explained | CRESI

🚨 ONTARIO INVESTORS: Tired of tenant calls, repairs, and unexpected maintenance? Real estate investor David Pereira reveals how rent-to-own investing delivers 20-24% annualized returns while staying 100% passive - no property visits, no emergency repairs, no drama.

This episode breaks down the complete rent-to-own model that traditional landlords NEED to understand. From the exact ROI calculations to how tenant buyers are set up for success, we're exposing an investment strategy that solves problems for everyone at the table.

🔥 What You'll Learn:
✅ Why rent-to-own beats traditional buy-and-hold for passive investors
✅ The exact ROI breakdown: 20-24% annualized returns explained
✅ How to calculate investor profit (spoiler: it's $60K on $100K over 3 years)
✅ Why tenant buyers WANT to succeed (and how you help them)
✅ The property manager model vs. joint venture approach
✅ Monthly cash flow PLUS backend profits at sale
✅ Credit coaching strategy that guarantees tenant buyer success
✅ How to use rent-to-own to exit properties in a tough market

💰 THE NUMBERS (Real Example):
Investment: $100,000 down payment
Monthly Cash Flow: $500/month ($18,000 over 3 years)
Backend Profit: $42,000 at closing
Total Return: $60,000 over 3 years (20% annualized)

🎯 PERFECT FOR: Ontario landlords tired of traditional property management, investors seeking passive real estate returns, property owners looking to exit in a down market, anyone interested in win-win-win investment strategies.

📈 TOUGH MARKET SOLUTION: David reveals how existing landlords can use rent-to-own to command higher valuations in 3 years instead of selling at today's depressed prices. This is the exit strategy nobody's talking about!

💡 PRO TIPS FROM DAVID:
• Tenant buyers tracked through Front Lobby to boost credit scores
• Credit coach partnership (Richard Moxley - The Credit Game) ensures 700+ scores
• Down payment + savings contributions guarantee mortgage qualification
• ALL numbers locked in on day one - zero surprises

⏰ CHAPTERS:
0:00 - Introduction with David Pereira
1:33 - David's Background: From Buy-and-Hold to Rent-to-Own
4:29 - The Win-Win-Win Model Explained
5:29 - Profitability Breakdown: Real Numbers
10:34 - Tenant Buyer Vetting Process
18:22 - Credit Score Strategy: Front Lobby + Credit Coaching
21:54 - Using Rent-to-Own to Exit Properties in Down Markets
24:11 - Disclaimer and Wrap-Up

📚 RESOURCES MENTIONED:
• Front Lobby - Credit score tracking for rent payments
• Richard Moxley - The Credit Game (Credit coaching)
• Mark Loeffler - Rent to Own Investing in Canada (Book)

🎯 INVESTOR vs. TRADITIONAL LANDLORD:
Traditional Landlord: Maintenance calls, repairs, turnover, cops called, unpredictable expenses
Rent-to-Own Investor: Monthly e-transfers, zero property visits, zero tenant communication, predictable returns

This isn't about replacing traditional homeownership - it's about creating opportunities for people who CAN'T buy today but COULD buy in 3 years with the right structure and support.

🚀 WHY THIS WORKS:
1. Investor: Passive income + predictable returns + no headaches
2. Tenant Buyer: Path to ownership + credit improvement + locked-in pricing
3. Operator: Property management fees + backend profits at closing

Everyone is incentivized to reach the finish line. That's the magic of the rent-to-own model.

CRESI Ontario Landlord Series Podcast
What REALLY Happens at the Landlord & Tenant Board? (3-6 Month Wait + No Guarantees!) | CRESI
🚨 ONTARIO LANDLORDS: Think going to the LTB is a "slam dunk"? Think again. Legal expert Rob Di Lisi reveals why even perfect N4s can fail - and the brutal reality of what happens when you walk into that hearing room.

This episode pulls back the curtain on the Landlord and Tenant Board process that NOBODY talks about. From 3-4 month wait times to adjudicators who might not even hear your case, we're exposing the harsh truths that could cost you thousands if you're not prepared.

🔥 What You'll Learn:
✅ Why you're NOT guaranteed to be heard (even with a confirmed date!)
✅ The "block number" system that confuses everyone
✅ How mediation REALLY works at the LTB
✅ Section 82 vs Section 83 - tenant defenses that can derail your case
✅ What happens when tenants don't show up (spoiler: it's not what you think)
✅ Wage garnishment reality check - why you probably won't collect
✅ The settlement math that actually SAVES landlords money

💰 THE BRUTAL TRUTH: Even if you WIN at the board, collecting rent owed is nearly impossible. Rob breaks down why 20% wage garnishments rarely work and what happens when tenants job-hop or disappear.

⏰ CHAPTERS:
0:00 - Introduction with Rob Di Lisi
1:33 - What Happens Before Your LTB Hearing
3:00 - Understanding LTB Hearing Blocks (Morning/Afternoon/All Day)
5:00 - The Mediation Process Explained
6:17 - Why "Slam Dunk" Cases Aren't Guaranteed
8:43 - When Tenants Don't Show Up to Hearings
11:00 - The Real Cost of Going to the Board
13:00 - Wage Garnishment: Why It Usually Fails
15:14 - The Settlement Solution You Need to Consider
16:19 - Thinking Beyond Option A
17:37 - Business vs Principle: Making Smart Decisions

💡 PRO TIP: Rob's golden rule - always be open to settlement. Even with shorter wait times, you're still gambling on a third-party decision. Control your outcome by staying in the driver's seat.

URGENT: Ontario's Bill 10 Could DESTROY Small Landlords | What Every Property Owner MUST Know Now

🚨 BREAKING: Ontario just passed Bill 10 and it's a game-changer for landlords - and NOT in a good way.

📋 BILL 10 BREAKDOWN FOR LANDLORDS:
Here's what you need to know: Bill 10 (the "Measures Respecting Premises with Illegal Drug Activity Act, 2025") makes landlords legally responsible for drug-related crimes happening on their rental properties. Think drug dealing, manufacturing, trafficking - if it happens in your unit, YOU could face fines, property confiscation, or worse. The bill requires landlords to take "reasonable steps" to prevent illegal activity, but here's the gut punch - they never defined what "reasonable steps" actually means. With Ontario's 24-hour notice laws, you literally cannot discover what tenants are hiding, yet you're still held liable. It's a legal trap designed to fail.

In this urgent episode, Kevin Breitner sits down with Kayla Andrade from Ontario Landlords Watch to break down the shocking reality of what just happened to landlord rights in Ontario.

🔥 KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Why the "reasonable steps" definition is dangerously vague
- How 24-hour notice laws make landlord compliance nearly impossible
- The shocking speed this bill passed (May 1st to Royal Assent by June 5th!)
- Why even Conservative supporters are feeling betrayed
- Real landlord stories of 5-year eviction battles while being held responsible
- The broken LTB system that sets landlords up to fail

💰 PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENTS:
This isn't just legal theory - landlords are already fleeing Ontario for Alberta, Texas, and even MEXICO rather than deal with this regulatory nightmare.

📍 TAKE ACTION NOW:
- Join Ontario Landlords Watch
- Sign the petition to remove Doug Downey
- Attend Investor Summit June 26th (use code CRESIFORTY for discount)
