A new registry of delinquent Ontario tenants — and some unscrupulous landlords — is gaining traction among landlords and legal experts.
Weiting Bollu founded the platform Openroom a little over a year ago after she had trouble ousting a tenant from the home she owned in Vaughan — even after the tenant stopped paying rent.
“I thought I was the only one until I met other landlords. And I said, ‘Why isn’t anyone doing more about this?” she said.
“That’s when I said ‘You know what? I build software for a living. Why don’t I go build something myself?'”
She says the online database now contains more than 10,000 documents.
