A landlord in Ontario, Canada, is under significant stress due to tenants allegedly affiliated with the Khalistan movement who have reportedly failed to pay rent or utility bills since January this year.

Independent journalist Nitin Chopra brought the issue to public attention through a video report posted on social media platform X. The video included interviews and footage from the affected property.

“Another Victim Landlord in #Ontario Tenants have not paid rent since Jan 2025, not paying Utilities bill either What a Landlord should do? When can we fix the system ? Enough is Enough!," Chopra stated in his post.

He also shared images showing a Khalistan flag visibly displayed on a post outside the rental property.

The landlord, Raman Kumar, told Chopra that five students moved into the residence in October 2024 and had paid rent up until December. However, beginning in January, they ceased rent payments estimated at 3,300 Canadian dollars per month as well as utility bills.

“I’m paying the mortgage, property tax, and insurance out of my own pocket," Kumar said. “This is putting me under extreme mental stress. I myself live in a rented house and have my own expenses. These tenants are making my life miserable."

Kumar further claimed that the Khalistan flag outside the property was put up without his consent. “I am very scared by these kinds of activities, and the neighbourhood is also unhappy," he said. “Authorities need to intervene. We’ve always lived peacefully as a community, and this is creating unnecessary tensions."

He also alleged that, despite renting the home to five tenants, more individuals seem to be residing there. “I can’t give the exact number, but there are a lot of people coming and going," he added.

According to Kumar, the tenants have been causing disturbances in the area, particularly during nighttime hours, prompting neighbours to file complaints.

While Kumar has initiated legal action, he mentioned the process is moving slowly. “I’ve started legal proceedings, but it will take time," he noted.
