Kayla Andrade
Ontario Landlords Watch Team
Kayla Andrade is a wife, a mother, a landlord and now, an advocate. She prefers actions with tangible results rather than sitting back and ignoring the issues. Ms. Andrade has a long record of successfully guiding local and provincial landlords through the many issues and policies and where many have taken notice of her motivation and skills in advocacy. This strong commitment and dedication is how Ontario Landlords Watch was born, finally providing an avenue where Landlords could share their experiences and struggles. Over the years, this grassroots advocacy organization has built a solid foundation of supporters through their supportive services involving the rental housing market, the Residential Tenancies Act and the Landlord and Tenant Board legislation. This strong team has evolved to fight not only for the rights of Landlords but also for the plight of good Tenants and the heavily burdened Taxpayer. They seize every opportunity to meet with elected Officials, Taxpayers, Landlords and tenants to discuss solutions to the Housing Crisis. Kayla began her endeavours at the young age of 18 where she purchased her first rental property. Since that time, she has become a seasoned landlord and expanded her rentals to include a 5 plex, 6 plex, 2 triplexes and a single family home—18 doors in total. Her dream is to empower a team of Private Sector Housing Advocates in each city, to work together, to provide fair and balanced rules and regulations that benefit all members of society.
