As some of you know I recently returned to Toronto from Korea at the beginning of the month. My 2 best friends are renting the top unit in a house on Davenport and agreed to let me stay free of charge upon my return until I figured out what's next (realistically 2-3 months at most). The landlord lives on the first floor of the unit. He saw me leaving today and approached me asking who I was and on what grounds I was staying in the house, he seemed quite upset and demanded I have one of the 2 guys on the lease agreement give him a call. I simply said I was a house guest and I would have them contact him.
To my knowledge they only have to notify him of my stay if I was a sub-letting part of the unit (to which he can refuse which would then give the tenants 30 days to get off their lease). I'm not paying them anything and I certainly haven't provided this as my address to anyone. All utilities are paid by the tenants so I can't see how he is in any way affected by my stay.
Can we safely tell him to f* off when he raises the issue?
They were already upset that my friend put a trailer in the garage claiming it was taking up too much space (even though it only occupied my friend's half of the garage) so that argument went nowhere and was also upset that they brought a cat into the house (despite the rental agreement stating no pets) - unless the law has changed I understand a tenant has the right to keep pets in their rented property regardless so that's probably why that was never followed.
Any input on how we should handle this would be appreciated.
