    I'm the Co-Founder and CEO at Openroom

    No one wants to be in a dispute. It is extremely painful & stressful. My tenancy dispute led us to create Openroom.
  2. 2

    I wanted to grow my family and move into my home

    I issued the notices, paid compensation, and gave more than 2X the amount of time for my tenants to find a new home. Tenants decided they weren’t going to leave and they weren’t going to pay rent anymore.
  3. 3

    $35K in rental arrears and 7 LTB orders later

    I was 30 weeks pregnant, I went to the Tribunal Hearings and finally got the order to evict. It was a near 2 year dispute that was mentally exhausting.
  4. 4

    Built Openroom to hold people accountable

    I found out I was not the only one. Thousands of people were going through disputes - be it tenants or landlords. I wondered why these orders were not made public in a timely manner because Canada has the Open Court Principle. With that, I shared my 7 court orders with you.
  5. 5

    Over 100K visitors and 2 million searches

    The Openroom community members, like you, helped us build a Court Order Search Engine that has changed the rental industry. All of us created this movement towards transparency in the rental ecosystem.
  6. 6

    Going all in on Openroom

    I ended up leaving my corporate job to continue educating, sharing, and building for the Canadian rental ecosystem. There's so much to be done and part-time isn't going to cut it!

    Building more tenant protections & becoming a Consumer Reporting Agency

    From day 1, responsible tenants who upheld their lease agreement meant they needed to be protected so we added protections such as when tenants win a case, their name doesn't become searchable in the Openroom database. Plus, we became a registered Consumer Reporting Agency with the government. We are legal and compliant!
  8. 8

    Continuing this epic movement

    My team and I believe in a world where great tenants and great landlords can thrive together. I invite you to join us on this journey to build towards a transparent and connected rental ecosystem.

Well done! We ALL, and that's Landlords and Tenants, all need a resource such as this one. I wish I had been able to research in this fashion before I got stiffed for $25k in unpaid rent.

It is a life saver!.Openroom has saved us at least $100,000this past year. I screened tenants and they had issues of non-payment of rent. I don't accept anyone without doing an Openroom search first.

I went to our eviction for a tenant, the Sheriff says to me 'this is a tenant with multiple evictions, haven't you checked Openroom?' I do a search inside Openroom, and sure enough, multiple Orders came up.

Recently I rented out my unit to a tenant with fake credit and eviction on her name and started the long eviction process with LTB. This would have been avoided if I used Openroom as screening process. I hope you guys can continue develop this and make everybody's lives better.

Just to let everyone know that Openroom does work, I have a tenant knowing that the order for eviction is coming and they were told by other landlords that he has an eviction for non payment of rent. The tenant went into a payment plan and did not pay a penny. He is now pleading to stay which will not happen. Happy New Year everyone.

Thanks for co-creating Openroom. This kind of resource is such a great help and can literally save Landlords potential headaches, stress and money! It's such an awesome idea and I'm glad it exists! It is immensely helpful.

A major shoutout to Openroom! Had a tenant inquire about a rental unit, a really thoughtful and strong-sounding inquiry, would normally be happy to offer them a viewing and an application. A quick Openroom search told me that she and boyfriend signed an N11 in exchange for waiving their 3 months unpaid rent with LL. When it came time to vacate, they stayed and fought their N11 at the LTB, buying them another 4 months of living for free at the expense of their LL. Was very easy to verify their identify with Openroom and Facebook combined, to ensure it was indeed them. Keep on uploading your LTB orders to Openroom and be sure to search prospective tenants you are considering!!
