There is a family of tenants that are currently under investigation for fraud.
There is an open case with the Landlord and Tenant Board and the family has been accused of committing fraud against three separate landlords.
They have a history in Burlington, Ontario, of renting homes and not paying the rent that is due.
A TREB Member REALTOR® has reported that the tenants are now looking for a rental property in the Richmond Hill area.
This is a reminder to all TREB Members of their duty to be vigilant in verifying the identity and credentials of any and all clients in a real estate transaction.
