Episode Details

A garage turned into a living space? That’s the wild setup in this podcast episode where Regie Caballero rented his garage to a desperate tenant for $150 a week — complete with an induction cooker and shared bathroom. When the tenant took him to Tenancy Tribunal, the judge called it obvious the garage wasn’t meant for habitation — and Caballero’s “favor” defense crumbled. He was ordered to repay half the rent ($2,775), plus $1,500 in exemplary damages for rule-breaking and another $1,500 for hardship. His attempt to raise rent without notice? Also invalid. The tenant’s complaints about damage? Not part of this ruling.
