WATCH: Canadian landlord caught on video evicting Indian tenant

15-second clip with over 4m views shows shirtless tenant helplessly watching as landlord tosses his belongings out.

A video showing a Canadian landlord forcibly evicting an Indian tenant has gone viral, igniting heated discussions on social media regarding tenant rights and proper eviction procedures.

The 15-second clip, which has garnered over four million views, features the tenant standing shirtless and helpless as the landlord tosses his belongings onto the street in Brampton, Ontario.

The footage was shared by a user named Jist, who claimed the eviction was due to the tenant allegedly refusing to vacate the property.

The post highlighted the tenant's assertion that he had not received proper notice to leave. As the landlord discards items, bystanders can be heard expressing their disapproval.

The incident has raised eyebrows, with many social media users suggesting that the video does not provide a complete picture of the situation.

One Instagram user remarked, “Pretty sure not Brampton. It’s really difficult for a landlord to evict a tenant in Ontario.”

The user noted that tenants can legally contest evictions, potentially prolonging their stay for months or even up to 1.5 years.

Others have criticized the lack of context in viral videos, calling for more “real” news coverage.

Amidst the outrage, some commenters even made light of the situation, with one saying, “I support the landlord,” while another quipped about Indian tenants not taking warnings seriously.

In related news, recent data has indicated a surge in undocumented Indians crossing from Canada to the United States. The numbers have reached an all-time high, with 5,152 individuals recorded in June alone.

This influx has put Canada’s visa screening process under scrutiny, especially as some Indian passengers seek asylum in the UK while in transit.
