$35K in Tenant Arrears: Solving Landlord Woes with OpenRoom

On to this week’s guest! I’m thrilled to introduce Wei Ting, an unstoppable entrepreneur, speaker, and innovator reshaping the rental landscape in Ontario with plans to expand across Canada. After losing over $35K to non-paying tenants and spending countless hours navigating Ontario’s complex rental compliance laws, Wei Ting decided enough was enough. She co-founded Openroom, a bold step toward building a transparent and connected rental ecosystem for landlords and tenants alike.

And if that wasn’t enough, she’s also a 24/7 on-call mom to two little ones under two years old. Wei Ting describes parenthood as her most demanding role yet, with expertise in patience, roadmap planning, and improvisation.  Did we mention the co-founder of Openroom is her husband?  Mixing personal AND Business 😀

She’s been featured on major platforms like CBC, CTV, BlogTO, BNN, and Yahoo News, and her talks promise not just insights but also laughs and eyebrow-raising moments. If you’re looking for someone who’s obsessed with making life easier for landlords, while balancing humor and grit, you’re in the right place.

Let’s dive into Wei Ting’s incredible journey with Openroom and the lessons she’s learned along the way.
