《千万小心这一房东》！！

看到白居不易去年的贴子，听到今年仍然有新房客上同样的当，我忍不住提醒一下新来的人，这是RICHARD的惯用诡计：必须在签租约之前先交四个月的房租，10天以后才给新房客租约(LEASE)。

RICHARD的算盘是利用新来的人租房心切的心理，不懂租房法律，猛涨房租。法律规定：对没有写明以前房价的新租约，新房客有2月时间去Rent Board (Regie du Logement) (Sherbrooke East 5199)核查以前房价，然后要求降低涨幅。但对已经写明以前房价的新租约，新房客仅有10天时间去Rent Board (S和5199)核查以前房价和要求降低涨幅。所以，新房客可以先签下租约(LEASE)，再去Rent Board核查以前房价和要求降低涨幅。Rent Board存有所有房子以前的租约(LEASE)，若是房价涨幅太高超过标准，马上命令减下来。我一朋友就因为发现及时，行动迅速，减下来了$90多。

回来再说RICHARD的惯用诡计。即使前年就有人发了贴子揭露RICHARD的这个惯用诡计，可至今仍让新来的人频频上当。这是最近的例子。RICHARD有一地下室终年不见阳光，空闲了大半年租不出去。原因是房价涨幅太高。但还是有人上当。这新房客急着要租约(LEASE)用，忍不住先交了四个月的房租，住进去以后发现条件不好，想退出来。可四个月的房租要不回来了。硬着头皮住下，就算为了租约(LEASE)牺牲吧。可10天以后拿到租约(LEASE)，一看以前房价，又气又悔，只差上吊了。这地下室的房租足足涨20%，而正常涨幅是2%左右，去RentBoard已经没用了。10天早过了。这也体现了RICHARD狡诈凶狠的一面，用预交了四个月的房租把新房客钓住，10天以后才给新房客租约(LEASE)，让新房客吃明亏，还无处告他。

不过，这新房客也不能全怪RICHARD。因为新房客违法在先：预交四个月的房租，签字后不马上拿租约(LEASE)，或倒签租约(LEASE)日期。才给了他机会。法律规定本来是保护新房客的。

希望RICHARD的房客，不论新到的或长住的，揭露他的坑人把戏。也贴出你的应对措施，不管结果怎样，都对大家有利，也对社会有利。加拿大是一个法制社会，对付RICHARD这样“合法的坏蛋”，实现社会公正，是每个人的神圣责任。

I had similar experience with another Quebecor landlord.

When I sublet my apt to another people, the landlord asked me to pay $200/person for their credit check. So if it is a couple, I have to $400 for their credit check. If they didn't pass the credit, I have to pay $200/person for the next person again.

I could not believe it. I went to rental board, they told me how to sublet apt and gave me all the forms. I called my landlord and told her that I have been to rental board and they told me it is illegal for her to do that. She screamed on the phone, "shit, you must pay the money". I replied to her "NO. It is illegal for you to ask for that. I will go to the court to fight." Then she gave in. She said: "stupid! OK, come to my office to stop your rental contract without paying penalty. I don't want to see you anymore!" See, if they know you will fight, they are afraid too.

Don't give up. Fight with him to give him a lesson. We chinese people know the law too. We know how to protect ourselves.

Even your English is not so good, you can ask your friend who can speak good english to talk with him. Let him know that he can not do anything he wants to us.

Good luck!
