Renting to an SP
- Thread starter Luton
- Start date
If it is a condo, I would not do it. If it is discovered the condo by-laws could force you to sell. Otherwise I would be 50-50 about it.
Very good point. The strata council would likely fine the living hell out of an owner who knowingly rented out an incall. Discretion would be key. I don't understand not seeing her as a client, so long as business stayed business.
How could they prove "knowingly" but the fact is, under C36, they could FUCK YOU UP if they could prove it.
Fair point, I just think it would be awkward. As for condos most of the sps I see rent out of condo buildings. I don't disagree with you and Celticman's point but just curious that this is the case.
I guess if she is a high end girl you won't be a client, so the bed should stay free of vermin and "pathogens".
Luton, I can assure you this is the case. A well known SP on Terb (I think you have carnal knowledge of her
) was renting a condo and the shit hit the fan. The owner received a notice to sell up or evict her.That is a shame. She probably was great and I think I know who you are talking about but I can't remember the last Sp I saw that I was disappointed with (thank you terb).Luton, I can assure you this is the case.

I know of one who had to back out of a lease because they discovered shortly after she moved in that she was 'operating a business'. She didn't want the hassle and had to look for another place.Luton, I can assure you this is the case. A well known SP on Terb (I think you have carnal knowledge of her
You could try to get more money up front (besides 1st and last) as added security. I know that security deposits aren't legal for residential tenancies, but if L & T know the underlying business, they might have their own deal going.
I only would fear about any C-36 backlash concerns, but isn't there a presumption of innocence if the rental rate is equivalent to market (secret security deposit aside)?
I both own and rent. I would absolutely rent to an companion (why not?!), but no way I'd continue to see her professionally. At that point, it becomes a business relationship, and I'd expect the same of her as any other tenant. I want to see real ID, I want to run both credit checks, and yes, I want references!
If it's a different situation where (for whatever reasons) she can't provide all three of those I'd be cautious... however; my gut has found me better tenants than my logic. Honestly (and this is SO weird) I walk them down to their car, and I look inside. I've never rented to someone with a messy back seat.
I might be naïve but I am not concerned about C-36. All indication so far is that Toronto or Ontario is not interested in pursuing cases under C-36. IMHO people are overreacting to its implications since I don't believe there is a willingness by the provincial government to pursue it. One of the main reasons I believe is that there are a lot of people in the provincial government don't agree with the bill and feel it will be ruled unconstitutional. No proof, but I do find it ironic that most of my hobbying days prostitution was illegal but people did it. We had a brief period it was legal but after Bill C36 people are scared shitless. I don't get it.
Bill C-36 has certain provisions about 3rd parties materially benefiting that are vague which could include landlords IIRC, so you may assuming more risk post C-36.
I don't disagree with your assessment but I don't believe there is a willingness at this time to enforce it. I also believe even if they tried to enforce the bill it be difficult to prove a Landlord know about his tenant unless he is accepting services in lieu of rent.
