Canadian home buyers beware because in Canada, with the exception of Quebec, there is no law in place that forces sellers to disclose information that stigmatizes a property. This means that someone can sell you a home in which a suicide, mass murder or even torture ensued and they have no obligation to let you know about it. A 2001 study revealed that houses known to have some sort of dark history attached to them sell for 3% less than they would otherwise, and even more alarming is the fact that they stayed on the market 45% longer as well. This may be the reason why many sellers aren't motivated to disclose this type of information to potential buyers.  One may argue that not disclosing this type of information is misleading as it could cause someone to purchase a home they otherwise would not have, or that it may potentially result in a home buyer paying more than they would have for a home had they known. Canadian courts don't see it that way because they ...

          Mississauga recently passed a bylaw restricting the use of clotheslines, in order to prevent residents from misusing them, and now the city is considering passing another bylaw.  This bylaw deals with preserving trees. Due to the ice storm that took place this previous winter as well as raids from bugs many trees are in bad condition.          The city already has rules in place to protect trees including the rule that limits the number of trees property owners can cut down each year to two. However they can cut down any two trees no matter how old, how big or how beautiful they may be. The proposed bylaw would make it necessary for property owners to seek a permit in order to cut down any tree that is 50 centimeters or more in diameter. This may sound extreme but will only impact two percent of the trees in Mississauga.  This image was taken from the link at the bottom     ...

Last January Mississauga's new licencing procedures for basement apartments and other forms of second units came into effect. Mississauga has banned second units for almost 20 years and the city had no choice but to change this procedure due to affordable housing legislation.  The city is facing scrutiny over this because even though they changed their procedures in the last six months only one license was issued. Some believe that the city hasn't put in enough of an effort to promote the new bylaw and that they wish to hide it from citizens.  Under the new bylaw landlords have to go through a series of things in order to be granted a license. Landlords must pay an administration fee of up to $1000 on top of paying for any work that needs to be done, following mandatory safety inspections, to bring the property up to code. Mississauga has thousands of illegal second unit homes which is a problem for tenants of such places because they have no real protection in dispute...

This image is from the article in the link below A new bylaw was passed on Wednesday  limiting the use of clotheslines for Mississauga residents. The law forbids anyone from putting clotheslines in their front yard. Also clotheslines must be at least 1.5 metres away from the fence line and a maximum height of 3 metres high. Why pass such an extreme law?  The culprits are are a couple living on Indiana Grove Dr. The couple had over 15 clotheslines with some over 20 feet high. The worst part however is the fact that the couple had dirty laundry displayed 24 hours a day 365 days a year. Whether snow, rain, thunder or sunshine the couple refused to take down their laundry.  Neighbor  Steve DeVoe, having a direct view of the couple's yard, had suffered with the eye sore for over 5 years. He even has pictures showing the couples underwear and stockings hanging outside in full view of his home. He says that it started off with just 4 clotheslines and that the nu...

Half Price Mansion? Any Buyers? A Mississauga mansion that was originally listed at $8 million has been drastically reduced in price. The house has in fact been up for bids in an auction with the bidding beginning at $4 million. The home was initially purchased for roughly $5 million and has undergone $2 million in renovations. While the house has great features including a three car garage, indoor pool, and a gym, perhaps the pricing is still too high.  The home has been up on the market for a year without any buyers, with the owner essentially having no choice but to sell at whatever price would satisfy buyers.  If you're a seller this is an important lesson to accurately determine the market value of your home and the conditions the market is in. Always keep in mind, Half price is indeed 50% off, but when it is 50% of $8 million its time to see how deep your wallet is.
