Summer just started, the lease has already been signed, and its move in day. I figure this would be easier to grasp if I make a half ass time line so here goes.....
(12:00 pm): Should be standard move in time, so thinking that I arrive at the house with my stuff ready to move in. BIG MISTAKE!!!! There is a white van parked on the lawn in front of the main door, and the current tenants are still taking their time moving out, AKA they have barely even started. Dirty J is no where in sight and there is really nothing any of us can do to speed up the process.
(6:00 pm): Finally the remaining tenant is done moving out and we are allowed to begin moving in. http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/statutes/english/elaws_statutes_06r17_e.htm#BK21.
Above is a link to the Residential Tenancies Act of Ontario, just for fun, well also to prove some points but who wants to read a big legal document anyways. The point is 6:00 pm is certainly not a good move in time.....but it gets worse.
(7:00 pm): Still no sign of Dirty J, and by this point we are all pretty sure he is not coming. This is where that link comes in handy but ill make it easier on the readers by pasting in good points. House is a complete mess, the prior tenants left pretty much anything they didn't want to take with them at the house. None of us have keys to the house since we have still not seen the landlord. House is visibly damaged and has not been repaired in some time, not to mention the HUGE amount of dust, mold and just plain out greez throughout the house.....the list could go on and on but at this point I just wanted to get my shit out of the truck and into my soon to be lovely home. HAHA
PART III
RESPONSIBILITIES OF LANDLORDS
Landlord’s responsibility to repair
20. (1) A landlord is responsible for providing and maintaining a residential complex, including the rental units in it, in a good state of repair and fit for habitation and for complying with health, safety, housing and maintenance standards. 2006, c. 17, s. 20 (1).
Oops...must have missed that one Dirty J but there is still more......I have lived at this house for close to 10 months now and I never thought I could have ever witnessed this kind of shit from ANY LANDLORD EVER!!!!! Apparently Dirty J owns several properties throughout the city, and even some in other cities........so my question is how does this happen? ? ? Isn't this shit illegal or partially illegal, I mean the guy is getting paid a good amount of money so shouldn't I be seeing results. This is just the icing on the cake though.
Part III coming soon!
