To the editor,
I recently read the article “Fire Hosed” in your last issue and I would love to support Chris Dabrowski!! I know exactly what he is going through, as I had rented an apartment from the very same landlord and had nothing but a nightmare from day one. I couldn’t begin to tell you about the trouble, from him telling me to buy a heater because he didn’t have time to fix the heating system, to calling me a bitch on the phone. I also did not get my damage deposit back, with no explanation. I took my concerns to the Tenancy Board and received my damage deposit plus extra because I had everything documented.
I would love any victory—even a small one—that can be won over this man.
