Toronto's wildest landlord stories include a panty-sniffing break-in

Toronto landlords can be a total nightmare, and you never really know what kinds of property management woes you might face until after the lease is signed.

Landlords have been a hot topic in Toronto this year, with a notorious slumlord even receiving a jail sentence earlier this year after years of tenant complaints about nightmarish property conditions.

blogTO recently hit the streets to ask locals about their worst landlord experiences, and we got some shocking horror stories like a three-year mice ordeal, cockroaches, gaslighting, someone having to endure a basement being dug below their home, and even an alleged underwear-sniffing landlord.
