I had hoped the saga of Burnaby’s TikTok tenant and her war with her neighbours was over now that she had been forced out.
Sadly, it wasn’t.
You can read the previous stories here and here, but basically the battle has been over noise and escalated into calls to the police, criminal allegations and several posts to the social media channel TikTok.
I was informed that the allegedly noisy TikTok tenant was being evicted and assumed this would be the end of it.
But I was sent an audio recording of a final confrontation as she was moving out. The original complainants were leaving the building, saw the TikTok tenant and one of them started recording – this is what it’s come to, relentless surveillance to catch each other.
Yes, this are grownups we’re talking about.
The TikTok tenants is clearly heard calling them “c**ts” and then accusing them both of falsely having her evicted and making her life a hell for more than two years.
Yes, this saga has dragged on for years.
The TikTok tenant the “gets in the faces” of her now-former neighbours and is then heard yelling for help. I don’t know what precipitated this, but she is clearly trying to get someone to intervene. I don’t know it’s real or if she’s trying to stage something.
The person who recorded this then called the police, once again.
Seriously, these people need to be separated because it’s putting a drain on Burnaby RCMP resources. People often wonder out loud, “where are the police when you need them?” Well, they’re stuff navigating these petty disputes.
I hope the TikTok tenant moves somewhere and finds peace. Same for her neighbours. They all need to move on with their lives.
Some readers wonder why I'm documenting all of this. It's because these kinds of petty neighbour disputes go on all of the time and I'm hoping that by showing what's involved, it'll convince others how exhausting it all is.
