John Gerard Shane, Karen Shane, Carson Shane, Dylan Shane, Ritchie Shane

John Gerard Shane is married to Karen Shane. John and his family live in New Canaan, CT. John works in investments. John used to work for MF Global in New York but was terminated. He still travels to New York for work.

John Gerard Shane rents out properties that he owns in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. There are four known properties so far: Connaught Street, 756 Regent, 702 Barrydowne and 362 Victoria Street.

John has three children, Carson, Dylan and Ritchie.

Unfortunately it seems that when John has a need for money he will resort to illegal and unethical conduct for what amounts to just a few extra hundred dollars a year. I might understand if you worked at a Burger King and rented out a property but this man is wealthy and doesn't need the extra money. John enjoys putting people out on the street using perjury and lies.

John likes to use the tactic whereby he contacts his paralegal to issue his tenants a notice of eviction. The letter indicates that Mr. Shane would like to move into the apartment and gives them 60 days to find new housing and to move out. This is a legal means only if the landlord has a GENUINE interest in moving into the property.

John does not.

The tenant may oppose the eviction but the Landlord and Tenant Board rarely sides with a tenant in these cases. The Landlord and Tenant Board should already have a good idea though, based on the chronic eviction attempts by John Shane, that these are not being made in good faith.

The Landlord and Tenant Act states:


48. (1) A landlord may, by notice, terminate a tenancy if the landlord in good faith requires possession of the rental unit for the purpose of residential occupation by,
(a) the landlord;
(b) the landlords spouse;
(c) a child or parent of the landlord or the landlords spouse; or
(d) a person who provides or will provide care services to the landlord, the landlords spouse, or a child or parent of the landlord or the landlords spouse, if the person receiving the care services resides or will reside in the building, related group of buildings, mobile home park or land lease community in which the rental unit is located. 2006, c. 17, s. 48 (1).

It is not good faith if you never planned to move in and if you let another tenant unrelated to you take the apartment of the former tenant. Of course the rent price goes up which is the reason for John's unlawful evictions.

756 Regent Street

John Shane tried this method with a young woman at 756 Regent Street. While the tenant was currently trying to find a place to live within the allowable 60 days, John decided to issue her a 10 day eviction to expedite the process when he claimed that the woman had "seriously impaired the safety" of the other tenants by leaving the hot water taps on for a few days. Understandably the woman was probably quite upset at the illegal eviction.


This was thrown out of the Landlord and Tenant Board because running hot water does not pose a risk to anyone else in the building. John Shane, in my opinion, sounds like an totally uneducated idiot. Running water impaired someone's safety?

Unfortunately Brian Cormier (Landlord Tenant Board), in my opinion a village idiot, sided with John Shane and allowed the eviction.

After the tenant moved out, John failed to move in. The apartment was left vacant for two months (so much for John's urgent occupancy) and then re-rented out to someone else. Sound familiar?

The tenant wisely took Shane to court to recoup her costs of moving, which is an option under the Landlord and Tenant Board. Sadly, paying a small fine of about $1000 is nothing when you can jack up a rent by $100-200 a month.

The tenant WON but packing up your life into a vehicle and moving it to another place is time consuming, costly and stressful. It's too bad we can't force his bank to repossess his house and force HIM and his wife Karen out.

It should be noted that John Shane wrote in an affidavit (for this eviction) that, "I need one unit of the building to live in while I am in Sudbury. Up until now I have been staying at local hotels at a considerable cost.

Cost of a hotel to a successful chief financial officer? About a mere $80 a night or $560 a week.

Cost of an entire rental property? About $400,000.

Does John Shane truly expect anyone to believe that he bought an entire building just to use for a few weeks at a time out of the year. He has never been seen by ANY of his tenants as far as I know.

Double Evictions

In 2007, John issued TWO eviction notices to two separate tenants at the same time. He required two apartments to live in at the same time? I think not. Unfortunately Brian Cormier, Landlord Tenant Board Member, seems oblivious to these bad faith evictions coming across his desk from the SAME landlord.

Finally, in the case of wrongful eviction #3, John claimed that he had been 'terminated' from Merryl Lynch, his last employer. With such ethics as we've seen, is this any wonder?

702 Barrydowne

John has tried evicting tenants from this building. One tenant was well aware of John's history of illegal evictions and told this to the paralegal. According to the paralegal, Lynda Beavis, they admitted that John was not going to move in but did offer him a free month of rent.


Clearly if this is the case, Ms. Beavis went against the paralegal code of conduct and enabled Mr. Shane to commit these disgusting acts.

Some would argue that a landlord owns a building and should be able to evict.

In this case, innocent homeowners have arrived home one day to find notices telling them to move out within 60 days, at a time with occupancy rates at a very low rate and rents at a high rate. It isn't legal, it isn't moral, it isn't acceptable.

So if you are a John Gerard Shane tenant, now you know the facts.

Another Story

John Shane evicted a woman with cancer from her home, and as expected, never did move in after she was vacated.

Facts

Note: John uses an address for Henry Bujak in Sudbury for his correspondence. Henry does "occasional work" for John but Mr. Shane does not live there.

John uses the name "Gerard Shane" (his middle name) for rent receipts so his tenants can't Google him.

Despite evicting someone in 2007 from the three unit property, John Shane now needs a bachelor apartment at 702 Barrydowne two years later.

John used the same false pretense that he will live there.
(Note: He never did move in)

Darson Shane, Dylan Shane and Ritchie Shane should be embarrassed to have this man for a father.
