A viral video showed a Canadian landlord evicting an Indian tenant, sparking mixed reactions on social media over landlord-tenant relations
A video capturing a Canadian landlord forcibly evicting an Indian tenant has gone viral, sparking widespread debate on social media. The 15-second clip, which has amassed over 1.7 million views, shows the tenant standing helplessly, shirtless, as the landlord removes his possessions. The incident has raised concerns about landlord-tenant relations, particularly for immigrants living abroad.
Many have questioned the circumstances that led to such a situation, with some speculating that the tenant may have refused to vacate the property, prompting the landlord to take matters into his own hands.
Social media reactions divided
Social media users have offered mixed reactions to the viral video. While some sympathised with the tenant, condemning the landlord’s aggressive actions, others saw humour in the situation, pointing out the cultural differences in handling such disputes.
According to many social media users, however, the video is presented in a way that doesn’t fully reflect what actually must have happened. One user wrote, “Pretty sure not Brampton. It’s really difficult for landlord to evict the tenant in Ontario. The tenant can take the landlord to court and basically stay rent free until it is resolved, which can take months to almost 1.5 years. This could be a case of tenant not adhering to landlord rules and they were being evicted.” Another user commented, “I really miss ‘real’ news channels when I say these videos with no context… Just for people with two sides of opinion fighting it out!”
