Yates and his roommates said they had a verbal agreement with their previous landlord, but also have rent receipts. Avagyan said the receipts are not enough to prove that they are the rightful tenants. He also suggested that the tenants and the previous landlord may have been in cahoots to keep the rent low. Yates and his roommates are accusing the landlord of trying to bully them out of their home, but Yates says they are the rightful tenants of the unit. The landlord disputes Yates's claim, saying he loves the neighbourhood and will file an application with the Landlord and Tenant Board.
