Star Investigation: Family Home and House

star investigation: The man who ran the house is Michael Ryan, who represented himself as the homeowner but is not the rightful tenant, according to Toronto Star. He informally sublet the property from an ex-girlfriend, who is the only occupant listed on the lease but hasn't lived at the house in more than a year. Facebook By Brendan Kennedy Staff Reporter Fri., May 12, 2017 An upscale family home in North York was turned into an illegal rooming house and crammed with as many as a dozen international students without the owner's knowledge, a Star investigation has found. These people have taken our family home and used it illegally for their own profit to take advantage of us and the students, said Douglas Melville, who owns the six-bedroom house with his wife, Gailina Liew. We feel very sorry for the students who have found themselves in this situation, Melville wrote in an email to the Star. The couple bought the property in 2014, but two years ago moved to the Channel Islands, where Melville was hired as the financial ombudsman for the British archipelago. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
