Giving shelter to city's 'bad guys''Out of control' system preventing troublemakers from being evicted from public housing, critic says |

Shoot a gun, deal drugs or assault a neighbour and your days in Toronto's public housing should be over.
"The truth is, nothing can be further from the truth," Harry Fine, a former adjudicator on the provincial body that resolves disputes between landlords and tenants, tells the Sunday Sun.
In fact, Fine insists, there's a revolving door for bad tenants in this city's troubled public housing projects.
The Toronto Community Housing Corp. evicts problem residents and the province's Landlord and Tenant Board lets them back in.
"In my informed position, the Ontario Landlord and Tenant Board is the most serious impediment to cleaning out the bad guys from social housing," Fine tells the Sun.
