Viral video: Canadian landlord throws Indian man's belongings over refusal to vacate house

A viral video showing a landlord in Canada moving out the belongings of an Indian tenant is gaining traction on social media, prompting various reactions from the public. The incident reportedly occurred in Brampton, Canada. The tenant reportedly evicted the belongings of the Indian man after the latter refused to vacate the house.

In the purported 15-second video, the tenant standing bare-chested in a white pant, can be heard hurling abuses at the tenant as he throws his belongings out of the house. The tenant undeterred by the shouting continues to remove the Indian man's belongings out of the house, the viral video shows.

According to reports, the duo had a fight because the tenant was not ready to vacate the house, prompting the landlord to take this step.


The video was shared by an X handle 'Ghar ka Kalesh' and its caption read, "The caption of the video read: “Desi guy and his landlord over he had fight with landlord because he was not vacating the house then the landlord came and started moving his stuff out by himself, Brampton, Canada.” (sic)

How netizens reacted

While some social media users joked about the situation saying that the Indian man received a free movers and packers service, others view the incident as a more “complex” issue that requires understanding from both sides.

"This is not good for the country's reputation. People should follow the rules. This is not the India where someone can get away with such things. It is damaging India's global image, and landlords may refuse to rent their property to needy Indians," a user wrote.

"The tenant might have reasons for not vacating, but it’s also unfair for landlords to feel powerless. Unfortunately, it had to escalate to this point. I feel for both sides here. This is a complex issue that requires more understanding from both parties," wrote another.

"They had enough of him," another user commented.

One of the users blamed the family of Canadian PM Justin Trudeau and their policies, adding that they have "ruined" Canada. "The Trudeau family and their terrible policies have ruined Canada. This is really uncomfortable to watch," a third user added.

"Just witnessed a wild scene in Brampton! A Desi guy and his landlord had a massive showdown. The landlord was tired of waiting for him to vacate, so he decided to start moving the guy's stuff out himself! Talk about taking matters into your own hands!," another one wrote.
