But not really superior for tenants in general because the landlord hasn't had any negative consequences for their actions. Terrible landlords give all landlords a bad name.
They are currently under investigation by the City of Calgary. However the fines are not much of a deterrent. I read a story of a landlord being fined $85000 for a fire that claimed two of his tenants lives after failing to install smoke alarms. Not much of a deterrent when you can be making $5000 per month from renting out enough rooms.
