Joanna Colettis has, for decades, owned and rented out to tenants a Vancouver house near City Hall with six suites.
“What is going on here? This is a mess. Is that what could happen to me?” asked Colettis, describing how she rents out reasonably priced units, with two one-bedroom suites for $900 each, and a larger two-bedroom one for $2,040 per month.
Initially, she took her proof to City Hall, where she was told some of it wouldn’t be accepted. She left shaken and upset after the staff person that day interrogated her “as if I was some kind of criminal and trying to hide something.” Colettis teaches English as a second language for a living, but says combing through the requirements listed in the city’s letter left her baffled at a time when she is also frazzled trying to care for her elderly parents.
Colettis’ adult sons live in two of the suites, one for 10 years and the other for two years. The remaining four suites have been rented to tenants since her father bought the building in 1972. Colettis purchased the property in the 1980s and continued to rent out the suites. There have been several long-term tenants who raised their children there, as well as young people for whom it was their first home, she said.
