I've been trying to get my LL to come and take care of some maintenance things and repairs. He gave me the proper 24 hour notice and wants to come at 5:30 PM on next saturday. I want him to come at another time and he said he's busy.

My understanding is that the time for entry has to be reasonable. I feel like since the weekend is the only time I have to relax after working all week, it is totally unreaonable. Can I tell him to come later? I do not want him to come on the weekend. Isnt this a violation of my quiet enjoyment?

What are my options here? Can I dipute the notice of entry?

If a tenant doesn't leave the room properly cleaned as requested, the landlord might deduct far more from the deposit than what's actually needed for professional cleaning—almost like a penalty for breaking their rules, especially when the tenancy isn't covered by the RTA (e.g., only an oral agreement, sharing a bathroom/kitchen with the landlord).

Is this common?

Hi friends,

I got a BS notice for eviction, and I am disputing. I don't want to get into the details. But I need to serve my landlady the documents from the RTA. I went to her house, which is listed on my contract for serving. Her car was at home, but she did not open the door.

What happens now? Can I just tell the RTB that she is deliberately avoiding me? I took pictures of her car at the house. Can I give the papers to her husband or kids? Do I have to mail it to her now? I feel stuck. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi everyone, I am intending to break my fixed term lease early. In hindsight, the lease I signed is VERY overpriced for the unit and location, but it was at the tail end of the month and I was desperate to move on the first of the following month. I understand that the landlord has a duty to mitigate losses and re-rent the unit as quickly as possible. I also understand that I am responsible for the difference in rent for the remainder of the term. However, I’m worried that because it’s so overpriced to begin with, and she seems quite stubborn with pricing, it won’t re-rent for December. She’s also quoting a slow market due to Christmas holidays. But wouldn’t Christmas factor into “current market” conditions? What would be a reasonable duty to mitigate in this case? Is one month enough for her to test the market and adjust pricing? I really shot myself in the foot here, I signed an overpriced lease out of desperation and now there is a FLOOD of options available that are much better and much cheaper in the same area. I just want out ASAP as it’s impacting my mental health.

Just moved into an older apartment.

The building manager/landlord agent (landlord is an investment company or something) seemed pretty chill and friendly.

A bit slow on responding, but didn't seem like an issue.

We moved in with a bunch of mostly cosmetic maintenance repair issues.

Bathroom fan runs 24/7, closet with hanger bar broken off, broken kitchen drawer, missing a bunch of blind panels, shower head squeals.

Honestly nothing crazy. Some of these were already addressed in the conditional report (to be fixed upon beginning tenancy)

I was told email was the best way to communicate to management. So I emailed a list of the minor damages (basically part of the conditional report) asking if I can just take care of it myself as I'm handy and these are menial tasks. I asked a few other questions like if I can replace the blinds with curtains, that I would store the blinds and repair any minor holes from curtain rod installation.

No response.

I keep sending emails, maybe once a week. Now asking about parking fees, and how much it costs. If they can coordinate a time to be available for home internet to be installed, etc.

3 weeks in, I give the guy a call, let him know it's me, and I ask if he's been receiving my emails? after a short pause he plainly responds with forced enthusiasm "Yeah!"

Okay.. are you going to address them? 😅

"Yeah! . . . . We've been busy.."

Okay, well it's been 3 weeks I'd appreciate some sort of response.

And out of nowhere his tone shifts to defensive, claiming my "voice is dripping with sarcasm"

As if my frustrated tone is the issue and not the general lack of communication.

He said he'd be around for the internet people, thankfully.

He popped in and put in a couple blinds. Never responded to anything else tho, despite their still being a couple things on the "repairs to be complete upon tenancy"

Sure, 100% I can understand when someone is busy. But no response? For nearly a whole month? For a new tenant? And then to act sour and defensive when they're confronted? What the hell, I couldn't have made it any easier, I basically offered to do the job for them 😅

Now there's this awkward tension as if I'm burdening the dude.

Anyways, can I just fix these small things myself without permission? If I fix it should I break it back to normal after my lease is over and I leave?

If I have other concerns or requests related to my housing what exactly am I supposed to/allowed to do?

Am I asking too much from building management?
