Sanaulhaq Zarawar's experience highlights a common issue faced by landlords: reliance on real estate agents without understanding contractual obligations. He hired an agent to find a trustworthy tenant for his Whitby rental property but faced significant losses after the tenant stopped paying rent and appeared to have submitted fraudulent application materials. Despite verbal assurances from the agent regarding tenant vetting, it was revealed that such vetting was not included in their contract. As a result, Zarawar is now owed nearly $40,000 in unpaid rent and utilities.
