This is a community to discuss the housing crisis in Canada.

All so Canadians can find a decent home to live in.

Racism is still absolutely prohibited, but you are welcome to debate population growth, immigration rate, foreign home buyers, and the merits of single family homes or the green zone.

A merge of r/canadahousing and r/canadahousing2 for those coming from Reddit.

Bits of the sidebar and logo taken from those subs and will be going through a slight revision as things get settled.

The true landlord way is to not even bother gluing them down so you can keep your tenant's security deposit for "damaging the floors"

You're not supposed to glue them. It's a "floating" floor meaning it needs to be allowed to expand and contract according to temperature and humidity. If you glue it down it'll start bulging and joints will open up. I install these for a living and the manufacturer instructions specifically forbid the use of glue.
