Please keep in mind, I live in a building in Clayton Park. My landlord is really starting to piss me off. Here’s a rundown of what hapened so far:
When we moved in, they gave us thre separate move in dates, claiming they weren’t ready for us. They gave us the final date, the truck was booked and they told us they weren’t ready. We could move in, but everything had to stay in the living room, and we had to be out by 8 am every morning because “They weren’t going to work around us.” We said ok, whatever and dealt with that.
Then, theycome by one morning, ringing the buzzer and knocking on the door, demanding we sign the inspection right then and there, not even giving us the tour. The in inspection said the following:
Cupboards newly painted and fixxed – Not really. The cupboards dont even have a finish on them, or all the pegs in to support it. We cannot use one of out shelves because of this.
Fridge: Brand new, cleaned. – Bullshit. Our fridge leaked for 5 solid months. I’ll ge further into this in a bit.
Lights repaired – Again, a miss. all of our light ixtures are cracked.
We have holes in our walls, we’re missing tiles for the floor and my room mates can’t open their window in the bedroom because they have no screen and we have cats. We’re on the ground floor.
I put in a maintainance repair request form like I was told to, and they told me to make sure everything was away from the back of the fridge so it didn’t clog, and come see them again. When I went back up, the office door was shut and the lady in there was no where in sight. Our fridge has now leaked all over our kitchen floor and warped the linoleum. It took me threatening them with the tenancy board to take the 5 minutes o fix the damned leak.
Yeah, I know because we have cats that our apartment stinks. That doesn’t mean they have to stand in the office when we walk in the front door and say, loud enough for me to hear and no one else “They stink, they stink, they stink.” It was enough or me to tell him to shut his mouth. We look after it as best we can
I ran into him again in the hallway today, and as I was walking to my father’s apartment (yes, I live in the same building as dad), he was at the other end of the hallway, and once again said, only loud enough for me to hear “We’re not going to take your bullshit anymore.” It was at this point I stoped in my tracks and said Ï’ve already asked you repeatedly not to talk to me. Once more and it counts as harassment.”
The property care taker seems to think that the world owes him something so everyone else should bend over and take it. Now, I’m standing up. I will not be pushed around anymore by this jerk. When ever someone says something he doesn’t like, he gets angry and turns purple. He’s nothing but a bully, and
I wont stand for it. This is war, I have pictures of the apartment.
Now for the big issue: When they were in fixing our fridge, there was an arguement that broke out, and one of my room mates, to prove a point, dumped a bit of water from our fridge onto the floor. Well guess what? Some of that water splashed on the lady who works in the office and now we’re being evicted for assault.

My cats don’t stink.
That’s WAY too volitile for it to be healthy. How much do you pay a month in rent? Because if it is over $800 then you can mortgage a crap home and fix it up to your liking, just read up on it for what is acceptable and crap.Yeah, dealing with that shit is not cool and it is expensive to move. Maybe you and dad can go splits and get a duplex?
the residential tenancy boards are your friends…really. been through there in my renting time, and if you stick to fact, back it up with written statement, provide pics from cellphone or digital and keep your head you can win this.it sounds out and out retaliatory, and the only thing i think that may go against you perhaps is the degree or tone of the water trajectory. once these things start though, assume the tenant landlord relationship is toast and that alone is enough to have the board rule one way or the other.request an emergency hearing, at least you may leave on your own terms.also…you are entitled to compensation for being inconvenienced (really..) and it sounds like you’ve been dragged through hell by someone more interested in her tv than her job.smote them.
Yeah with $800 a month like the Gimp says you can buy a shithole. Gimp its funny that yesterday you were bragging how rich (effluent) you are, and today you say you live in Spryfield. Don’t tell me you’re like that other troll that used to post here, that you could afford to live anywhere, but chose to live in a shithole, in order to learn more about the less fortunate.You are truly beyond belief.
Aaaahahaha floyd – do you think??? Could it be he who shall remain nameless?? They both have the whole douchbaggery thing going, and they both stink like beasts. Hmmm… I got my sleuthin’ cap on now…
Hi Q, it never occurred to me they could be one and the same, but hey you never know. One thing’s for sure, they both deserve a gold medal in the Trolympics.
Trollympics. I like it. What might some of the events be? Threadjacking. A$$talking….
And Gimp before you correct me that you said affluent,,, I agree with Plonk that the more accurate description was indeed effluent, as in the context of a waist product…Just wanted to clear that up…
My favorites might be the 100 metre free-style blowhard event, or perhaps the decathalon… Thats the one where you simultaneously post on 10 different sites…
Hmm, seeing as how you had nothing to contribute towards the poster’s concern about their serious and unhealthy situation. A hard working canadian resident that is basically living in hell for whatever reason possible. Which one is the troll since it seems that you go out of your way to try ellicit another sage-like nugget that you happilly injest and probably mastrubate furiously to.Having said that, Mastrubate away on my blessing.
Gimpy, you’re so creepy; what’s with your preoccupation with masturbation? Dad used to catch you jacking it to pictures of your goat? Or maybe you had to lie awake at night listening to the cruel hum of your mom’s vibrator… hmmmm??Hey Floyd, did you happen to catch tonight’s Men’s Trollyball final? The way Miles spiked Gimpy into Jammie’s court was spellbinding… too bad he’s playing on China’s team 🙁
Because mastrubation is sweeping the nation.Safe sex kids!
Qwerty you were SO close, you were out of the medal round by .00001 of a nanosecond… Yet another heartbreak for Canada.The answer we were looking for was: Gimpy’s paw caught him spanking the monkey WHILE the buzz and grind of maw’s vibrator hummed away not too discreetly through the bedroom door…
Hows this for a trolyympic event, the BitchJavelin,OP bitches, people comment and the one threadjacker ( see I’m including 2 sports here now ) that yaks off topic to the point that all the regulars chime in and carry said threadjack for some funny laps has in fact impaled or Javelined the tread, wins a gold, ummmm, plunger. Now that’s something to type for.Sorry OP, had nothing really construtive to say about the rental situation, good luck with that BTW.
If there were a trolyympic Floyd would be tested in every event because his abilities are superhuman.In any event, if you have decent transportation move further from the city. You would find decent places down Williams Lake rd in Herring Cove and it’s fairly quiet and peaceful. You might even see a deer or three.
Williams Lake Rd. is not in Herring Cove! I guess Homie isn’t the only poster who needs a map…..it’s not even close…
And Gimpy tries to pull away with the old “I know you are but what am I trick” but floyd, the seasoned veteran he is, expertly sidesteps and Gimpy falls flat.
To the OP, there is only one apartment buiding in H Cove and it’s a dive…but their are lots of affordable and decent places in both Spryfield and Fairview, you just have to no where to look. Every area has bad section…just stay away from those.
It is turned off from Herring Cove rd. The entire stretch from when you get off the roatery and go up the hill past the Needs is Herring Cove Rd. Look it up again.
You didn’t say Herring cove ROAD…you said “in Herring Cove” I was just clarifying that Herring Cove doesn’t start until somewhere around Lumbermart on Herring Cove Rd. everything before that is either Spryfield/Cowie Hill/Armdale/etc. Williams Lake Rd. is definately Spryfield. Your not the only one to make the mistake, don’t feel bad….there there.
I know where spryfield begins and ends. If you want to nitpick about missing letters the correct tense is “you’re” which is a contraction of you and are since you are referring to a person and the object sentence with an inclusive. Like I said, Williams Lake Rd has some nice places you can check out but follow the contracter mantra of read up and ask questions before you invest on something that major.
Easy, gimp, I wouldn’t start correcting grammar if I were you… what with the glass house you currently reside in and what not…
I was corrected for a typo and as such I corrected the poster’s typo. Meaning I reciprocated the action which she facilitated by making the pointed statement followed by the snarky condescension.
It’s okay Qwerty, he had nothing else to go on so he had to find a gramatical error. If you know where Spry begins and ends why would you refer to it as something else? Anyway, I’m not usually one to say these types of things, but why don’t you go back where you came from, Gimp?
And so ends the tollerence I see that you so cling to your chest.And I never told him to get an apartment, rather I told him to start up a mortgage depending on what his rent was. Seems like you failed to read the posts.Where is that bleeding heart of yours with a statement like that? And you have the gall to comment on my compassion. Hypocrite.
“the action which I facilitated” ….pfff I was clarifying the difference between Spryfield, Herring Cove Rd., and Herring Cove Village. You said IN Herring Cove, not OFF Herring Cove Rd. so don’t act like it was a fucking typo. My typo was clearly that, a typo! And did not affect the message I was trying to send. Just like YOUR a ASS or YOU’RE an ASS, pretty much works either way!
hahahaagain, people on here talking about the residency or tenancy board. This province hasnt given these fucks the powers they need. Landlords here can skirt the regulations even after the hearings. Its almost a joke court in this province. Regardless of what anyone thinks, this shit will continue forever till some government decides to really help tennants. Without this aid, rent will be WAYYYYY too high for the garbage you rent, and they can raise rents here every 60 days and nothing can be done about it……so fuck asking the government for affordable housing, the government needs to be stricter on this fucks that run buildings.
No it doesn’t. your an ass means nothing. you’re an ass means something. Thanks for playing anyway bigot.The price is wrong bitch!
I love when msg boards turn into flamewars between the posters. Time to go find somewhere else to have intelligent discussion.Btw, $800 a month will get roughly $125k mortgage, last I checked. So two people in shit apartments could easily pool their dough, get a decent place, and fix it up, and maybe are looking at 1000-1200 a month, depending. I’m doing it right now, most home renos are reasonably easy if you are somewhat handy. Plus you can always get your mortgage for more than the purchase price for home renos. Might be worth looking into if you’re planning on being in Halifax for a few years.
I am the fastest man in the world. And the fastest swimmer. And the best female free style wrestler.Flame THAT, bitches!
PS Does anyone else think the Bird’s Nest and Water Cube are architectural eyesores? Yeesh, thems are some ugly structures.
