This is a tragic story repeated all too often in many overheated housing markets in this country but blaming the landlord is like blaming a dog for being a dog. Shawna writes a little too much like someone who thinks she has a God given right to live in a bungalow in Toronto. She does not. I certainly couldn’t afford to, could you? Who knows, perhaps this landlord needs the money to pay for the long term care of some loved one, or to pay for the post-secondary education of another. Shawna is indulging herself in the time honored tradition of looking for someone else to blame for her misfortune and in this case by default, blaming the evil landlord. This letter is not news. It is a sad cliché. I do not expect any better from Shawna, but I do from the Globe.  Whatever the circumstances, as sad as this tenants story is and it is sad, it is not the landlords fault.
