In Canada, it is really difficult to find a good apartment, condo or house to rent. The landlord will hide their problems. No matter how hard you inspect you will never know about them until you start living in there.
And these problems are very common. But the landlord won't put money to fix it. The tenants have to adjust to it. They knew, if they leave this house, the next one will have some other problem.
The most common problem is cockroaches. Then bed bugs.
Another one in the house is a basement. They don't make it perfect to cover all kinds of holes. So, bugs, and mouses can easily enter. Moreover, this is a cold country. So, even in summer, the soil is very cold, and the basement area became very cold. The holes give extra cold wind blowing to make the tenant's life miserable.
In apartments, some have heating problems too. But the landlord won't fix the heater. They will keep it high when the tenant visits so they won't figure it out. Later, the heater will go in its own way, so some rooms may become very cold.
Some have leaking problems. In rain or snow, water leaks from the ceiling or pipe.
In some cases you will find broken fittings, some will be fixed after request, and some won't.
Some private houses won't put any money into cleaning. So, you have to do it by yourself after starting living in there.
There should be a very strong organization that can inspect rapidly these problems and make them fixed. I am sure Canada is developed enough to fix this problem.
