Ontario has a rental housing enforcement unit. It investigates a fraction of cases and fines even fewer (www.cbc.ca)

The RHEU, run by the province, is mandated to uphold landlord and tenant rights. It has the power to investigate complaints and fine individual landlords up to $50,000. It works independently from the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB).

Of the ministry's $1-billion operating expense budget for its housing program this year, $1.8 million goes to the RHEU, according to the ministry's website. The RHEU's budget is expected to stay the same next year.

In comparison, Ontario's animal welfare service agency, which also employs officers to enforce provincial law, has an annual budget of $21 million.

I can't believe how organizations like LTB and RHEU (the latter of which I'm just learning about today) are falling behind. This should be the one thing that both landlords and tenants should agree on: timely justice.

#DrugFraud could give a shit about Ontarians. He only cares about the rich people who donate big bucks, so he serves their interests.
