I think the landlord should be informed. I know disputes between the tenant and the PM will look bad for his business. So yes, go ahead and tell him so he can mediate between the two of you. If that does not work, let professional mediators do the work instead.

For problem PMs like those, I’d always carry around a recorder. It will be difficult to counter a recorded proof.

The problem with reporting to the police or the landlord is that the tenant could face retaliation. I know the law says it is not right for a tenant to face retaliation after filing a complaint but the truth is, it happens a lot. It happened to me. So I went with the safer and more effective action – I filed a complaint with the RPA.

I have worked in the rental industry and I have seen this much too often. I must say, I am ashamed to be working in the same field as these grown up bullies. I feel sorry to everyone who has been bullied by these PMs.

When you go to the police, don’t forget to secure a copy of the police report too.

Even if you are renting, you are not losing rights, you’re actually gaining a new set (your tenant rights). So if you are being harassed or threatened, tell the landlord. If he does not believe you, tell the police or file a complaint.

Sometimes, tenants don’t need to do anything because they are not at fault here. Sometimes, it’s just the PM that’s the problem. Well, anyway, tell the police, tell your neighbors and tell the landlord. The more people will know about it the better?the stronger your case will be.

Ok. Can you remember what you did when he decided to trespass or even shout threats at you?

I think Apartment Associations are policy creating bodies. I don?t think they?ll be able to help you out much.

How about reporting it to Apartment Associations? Wouldn’t that help?
