A woman in Surrey, Canada, has been arrested by local authorities following a series of public confrontations with her tenant that were documented and shared across social media platforms. The individual, identified as Raj Tiwana, was taken into custody after a dispute over the use of a barbecue at the rental property escalated into multiple reported incidents of interference and alleged harassment.
The situation gained widespread attention after the tenant, a 50-year-old man, began posting video footage of the interactions on an Instagram account. The recordings depict several heated exchanges between the two parties, including an initial disagreement regarding the tenant’s use of a grill in the garden. In the footage, the landlady is seen objecting to the cooking, citing concerns over potential damage to the property, while the tenant maintains his right to use the space as a paying resident.
Escalation of the Rental Dispute
The conflict reportedly intensified following the initial argument over the barbecue. In subsequent videos shared by the tenant, the landlady is seen removing food from the grill and, according to the tenant’s account, using a piece of wood to displace the items. The tenant alleged that this incident was part of a broader pattern of behavior, claiming that the landlady repeatedly interfered with his ability to use the rental unit.
Further allegations made by the tenant include claims of unauthorized entry into his living space, the changing of locks without his consent, and the removal of the entrance door to his unit. In one of the shared clips, the tenant claims the property had been breached multiple times. Additional footage appears to show the landlady throwing objects and engaging in a physical confrontation with the tenant and his guest.
Police Intervention and Current Status
The series of events culminated in a police response at the residence. Video footage posted by the tenant shows officers arriving at the scene and informing the landlady that she was under arrest. The recording captures the woman appearing confused and requesting to contact her daughter before being handcuffed and escorted to a police vehicle.
While the videos have circulated extensively online, the specific charges filed against the landlady have not been publicly disclosed. Authorities have not yet issued an official statement regarding the incident, and the authenticity of the claims made in the viral videos has not been independently verified. The investigation into the circumstances surrounding the dispute remains ongoing.
