The family does not need a tenant financially but says they're trying to be a good neighbour.
A one-bedroom rental in Victoria is listed well below the market average in exchange for helping the family who owns the property.
The basement rental was shared on Reddit with many comments opposing the listing, but the owners of the house say they are trying to be good neighbours. "Finding a suitable and affordable rental is difficult for many in B.C.,” says a spokesperson. "Arrangements like this, where rent is reduced in exchange for labour, is allowed under the Residential Tenancy Act, as long as there is an agreement signed by both parties setting out the terms.”
The family says they don't need a tenant; rather, they thought an extra set of hands could free the husband and wife to have dinner together from time to time.“It was especially hurtful to read comments from people saying that our kids 'are probably a**holes,'" the owner said.
