Ontario realtors group calls for stronger protections against grow-ops
This hilarious article can be found here haha I laughed my ass off on this one:
The association representing Ontario’s real estate agents wants stronger rules to protect home buyers against the risks involved in purchasing a former grow-op, a situation it says will increase once cannabis is legalized this year.
According to The Ontario Real Estate Association home inspectors are useless. Screw em, we need to sell homes and we need protection for our commissions, I mean we need more protections for our clients. Being that the market is hot and 1500 square foot houses are selling for millions of dollars we want to make sure that these homes on the market are restricted to the amount of plants they can grow.
For 1,000 square feet or smaller only one plant should be allowed to be grown LMAO! These peoples I tells yah, this is what happens when you grow the government. EVERYTHING gets complicated. This is so silly, to be honest I don’t mind this nonsense, but I think this stuff should be left to municipalities, the provinces should not be able to enforce such nonsense. This is pure unadulterated nonsense.
The Ontario realtors group also states and I’m quoting here:
home inspectors should receive training on how to spot the signs of a former marijuana grow operation.
Yea and so what happens if they don’t? What happens if they miss something? Suppose the illegal grow ups do something that home inspectors are unfamiliar with? Something that’s not part o the home inspection training you’re proposing then what? Who gets sued? Also whose going to pay for these court costs?
Another one of their demands:
It also wants to ensure all illegal cannabis operations are inspected by a building inspector and wants all municipalities to be required to register remediation work completed on a property.
Ummm… Who’s going to pay for that? If it’s illegal cannabis operations do the cops or authorities already know of its existence? If they’re making such demands I think The Ontario Real Estate Association should pay for that with their commissions. If they want to pass it along to their customers they’re free to do so but detail it in writing for their customers, make their customers decide what they want and if they’re willing to take the risk? Why should Ontario taxpayers be paying for million dollar home owners? If The Ontario Real Estate Association wants to do this, they can do it on their own and pass those costs onto their customers.
This is the craziness that happens when you grow government, and protect the housing sector, poor people paying for the middle and upper rich classes.
Take your proposal and shove it Ontario Real Estate Association, pay for it yourselves!
