hjnlhlfgg THEY FIXED NOT JUST MY LIGHT BUT ALSO MY NEIGHBOURS’

ghjlgjflghfjlhgf liveblogging my dryer struggles. after two weeks i sent them an extremely long timestamped emailed with all the information needed to file a claim against them incl. screenshots of all our correspondences & they wrote me back IMMEDIATELY. i didn’t actually threaten them bc ideally i want to avoid actually taking legal action but i feel like they probably sensed where this was going

#THREE WORKING HOURS TURNAROUND #MAKE VAGUE THREATS TO TAKE YOUR LANDLORDS TO COURT #the dryer is still broken this was a separate maintainence issue that has been ongoing for like 12 months #however this bodes well #if anyone wants the template i made up i’ll send it ghljghnjl #the summery of my research though is you need to file with the landlord tenants board #and you need to keep all your correspondences via text (email/housing portal etc) bc you will need to present evidence #that it wasn’t fixed in a reasonable timeframe #they encourage you to message your landlord first & give them reasonable time to respond (which is why i waited two weeks)#you’re also apparently entitled to a free half hour consultation with a lawyer #i couldn’t quite figure out how to actually access this & i’m hoping i won’t actually have to but ghjlgfh if i do end up filing a claim #i’ll report back lmao #also ftr they are required to fix EVERYTHING they initially provided in your apartment #regardless of whether it was written in your lease #or whether it was in good condition when you moved in #apparently they’re not requried to fix it well but they are required to fix it #(also this is unrelated but JUST SAYING bc a lot of people do not know this & landlords will use it as a vague threat #it is illegal to take a deposit on the apartment in ontario #the deposit you place at the start (which is legal) is a KEY DEPOSIT #they have to return the full amount to you when you leave as long as you give them back the key)#ANYWAY im not a lawyer pls do your own research etc etc etc but here’s a starting point gjkhgjgfl
