A Richmond landlord is warning others after discovering his tenant had been running an illegal short-term rental in his condo.
When Bobby Ni rented his son’s condo out in September 2022, he was told the tenant and her son would be living together.
All seemed well at first. Ni was able to speak with the tenant’s previous landlord, whose comments didn’t raise any concerns, and he had met the tenant in person to sign the tenancy agreement. Although, that would be the last time he saw her face to face.
