Got the paperwork back from our LTB hearing which took place on the 22nd.
We won - and the adjudicator STILL managed to make sure it was us that lost.
Not only did he make a statement in the order that John - her partner who has lived there full time since May 2012 and who had a SIGNED LETTER OF INTENT TO RENT even - was not a tenant and therefore not liable and removed his name from the order (which means we will never see a fucking CENT), he also GAVE HER EXTRA TIME.
FFS!!!! He was satisfied that she gave notice that she would be out by the end of November but he STILL thinks that due to her situation we should have to lose yet another month's rent which we will NEVER EVER SEE?
Must be nice to be so fucking charitable - with other people's money.
Anyone want to buy a house? Or two?

Surprise!
Apparently ~someone~ thought that we were blowing smoke about the notices we've given her re: paying rent and cleaning up garbage and so on ...
stopped by to deliver notices of hearings for the two of them last night and she seemed surprised that there would be hearings on OUR issues. Imagine us objecting to not being paid rent since October! To being locked out of our own house! To having police called if we ~interfere with her enjoyment~ by using the central vac downstairs (and actually telling us to go away!). To receiving regular letters threatening fines from the town for the garbage collection she keeps. To having to deal with threats and BS from a variety of officials she calls and lies to.
Clearly, we are just terribly unreasonable.
Funny though - I was there to serve her notice of the hearing about not paying rent and once again, in spite of her claim that she keeps TRYING to pay me, not a single cent offered.
She might have been surprised by the whole interaction - me, not so much.

Excuse me?
SHE GAVE NOTICE. SHE did not pay November's rent and told us to apply her last month's rent toward it.
and she has never ONCE offered a single blessed CENT in rent.
I just decided I'd like to throw $5000 + down the shithole for no good reason cuz I -clearly - am insane.
Surely to God the adjudicator at the Landlord & Tenant Board will use just a wee bit of common sense?
Sure hope so!

No restraining order yet
....but we did receive a call from a police officer wanting to know what R. did while at the job site.
Don't you just LOVE how the tenant can do one thing after another that is illegal and just plain WRONG - and yet it is the landlord that is constantly being told that the tenant has rights?
Ds and Mr. Ds are STEALING from us. They have illegally locked us out of our own property. And the police are complicit in all of it.
They are the ones that refuse to act to ensure that we are provided with a key.
They are the ones that kicked R. out of the basement unit for interfering with the ds' ~enjoyment~
And they are the ones that call us at 9:30 p.m. at night over stupid nonsense.
Thanks SO much for all your help, OPP.
As R. asked the cop on the phone - are we just supposed to hand over the deed to the property, too?
RIDICULOUS.

Whatever
Too funny. The d.s. just called to threaten us because Ross stopped by Mr. d.s.' place of work to find out the company name.
Given that the name is clearly written on the side of the trucks and that they are working on a public hwy, I'm pretty sure that Ross is more than within his right to stop by and speak to the foreman about whatever he likes.
In any case, we now have the information we need about the company he works for... which is, of course, important for later, once we have our order for more than $4k which they will owe us for rent and expenses by the time we have our hearing at the Landlord and Tenant Board in Ontario.
Can't garnishee wages if you don't know where they actually work, after all.
Silly dirt squirrel :).

Discouraging
While trying to use Google to find out who to complain to about the Sheriff's total lack of co-operation and insistance on adding thousands of dollars to the cost of this landlord and tenant nightmare, I came across a report from the Federation of Rental Housing Providers in Ontario.
Everything we are experiencing and going on about is a well known problem and has been documented by the FRPO. The Feb. 2011 report, Justice Denied: Ontario's Broken Rent Dispute Process includes a whole section on the Ontario Sheriff's offices and their monopoly on the eviction process. It recommends that private baliffs be allowed to handle evictions as they are in other provinces.
The whole thing is ridiculous!
And people wonder why there is so little affordable housing in Ontario.
Off to write really bitchy letters to Ontario MPPs - and then perhaps a newspaper article or two.

Snotty bitches
Seriously ...I don't have enough snotty bitches to deal with, with the thief who is stealing from Ontario taxpayers and from us, and inconveniencing and harassing a whole lot of other people - now I also have to deal with snotty bitch tone from the Sheriff's office receptionist?
I don't fricken think so!
Did find out that the office is actually only closed on the dates one might expect, i.e. Dec. 25th & 26th, and Jan. 1 .... the SB says it's a ~resource issue~ that prevents them from bothering to enforce the order. .... from Dec 17 until sometime in Jan, they have insufficient resources to do their jobs. If that is the case, I think they should close the office down - why are taxpayers paying to keep it open at all? No work, no pay... isn't that how it works? Except for landlords ...we still have the work, and the bills... but the tenants don't have to pay, or get out when they've given notice, or....
Me, I think it's a lazy fucking waste of taxpayers' money we don't want to do our fucking jobs issue.
Funny, I've been reading through the Courts of Justice Act, RSO 1990, c C.43 - exciting reading that - and nowhere do I see anything that they get to be paid through December without actually having to do any work.
This whole thing is so much crap - the entire system does nothing but support the so-called-tenant while soaking us for more money because we were stupid enough to rent to a lying cheating thief. Bad enough if the so called services we are forced to pay for actually were provided in a timely manner.... which, I must admit, the Landlord and Tenant Board actually did .... but what good is it if the next (and more than twice as expensive, btw) part of the system can't be bothered to do their job.
Not impressed that the Ontario Ombudsman's office "can't" call the Sheriff on our behalf - no oversight there... they are Provincial ... so who the hell DOES have oversight? MPPs office thought it would be the Ombudsman but no such luck.
Am I having fun yet? Not really. Merry Fucking ho ho.
