www.ottawa4rent.ca has been buying up properties in Ottawa and converting
single family homes and basement apartments into student "rooming
houses".
They recently secretly converted a 4 bedroom single family home into a 8
bedroom student rental and a 5 bedroom basement apartment that allowed couples.
That's 26 students in the same home.
They did this without applying for a building permit until neighbours expressed concern to the City of Ottawa. Even then they waited until the last minute to get the permits. It is unlikely that they had permits for the other properties they own.
Other properties owned by these owners include 32 Seneca which now has 8 bedrooms and 2 Pansy
which has been converted into 2 apartments with 5 and 6 bedrooms.
I hope that any students or parents of students that are looking to rent in Ottawa will
avoid the properties owned by these greedy owners.
How would you like it if your neighbourhood was under attack like this.

3 of my friends and I currently live in this home, 2nd year now. It is only 4 of us not 74... lol... :P
this is one sorry person who was trying to ruin Kasha's reputation. She is the best landlady we've ever had! House was extremely clean when we moved in and ever since she is responding in timely manner to all our needs. She is taking care of many houses in this area and she is very well known in student community. Over the years we heard many horror stories about other landlords and Kasha is not one of them.
Don't believe this report, it is one BIG lie!
