"Landlords 'powerless' as tenants get free ride"

Landlords are calling for tougher enforcement after being taken for thousands of dollars by “professional” scam-artist tenants who never pay rent and work the system to delay eviction.
“They are in your house — and you know they are taking advantage of you," said Margarita Loyola, of Victoria, B.C. "You are powerless and there’s nothing you can do.”
Loyola said she is out $20,000 in lost rent, legal fees and clean-up costs after renting to a tenant who has moved from home to home in Victoria without paying, for months on end.
“They left so much garbage and junk. It cost me $1,200 and two full dump trucks just to get rid of what they left behind,” Loyola said.
