Thanks Landlord

[NinjaBoy]

Hey landlord, thanks for fixing my shower! Seriously, I do appreciate it. And throwing on a much needed coat of paint while you were at it, awesome. Could you just do me a favor.

Next time you decided to paint on my rooms, could you please tell me, or failing that, MOVE MY SHIT OUT OF THE ROOM!

My soap, toothbrush, and bathroom decorations, aren't much good covered in paint.

Thanks, I honestly appreciate it, and I am looking forward to the rest of renovations this week. Just a heads up!

[Carrie]

aww. i thought they had to give you notice before they do any work like that.

[.LxT]

I think you could still work the toothbrush with a bit of effort. And, if you're a smoker, a bit of paint thinner brushing my remove that yellowing from your teeth.

Get them to pay for shit they ruined.

Turns out it's Ninja Sage.

WHO KNEW?

[Magi]

This happened to a few of my things when my roommate/landlord did some painting.

On my comb, razor, and all over things in the kitchen such as pots and pans and dishes.

Kind of annoying, really.

Bahahaha$@@%&*

Just wait till Chris sees the YouTube videos he made dancing to Madonna while taking a break from renovating Chris' apt.

PS- Great job ripping everything out of my bathroom. Next time, could you buy the replacement fixtures and book the plumber first. I only mention this, because it's been over a week now, and most of my shit doesn't work.

[Paroxysm]

that's pretty rough, i had my landlord get drunk and try and kick my door because he was crazy.

[lildonkey]

You're welcome.

I saw a muffler on the grass outside 1060 Harwood while back.

Dear Landlord,

I haven't written to you all week. Maybe you didn't get my last letter? My shit still doesn't work. While it may be a good idea for me to learn to live without the little things in life so I learn to appreciate them, I still would like to use the bathroom.

Have a note from you that says "Do not touch anything" is kind of scary. Also, my living room light doesn't work. I mention this again, because I'm not sure if you have forgotten since I told you six months ago, or are getting mentally prepared, but yeah, could you get on that? And also, the fence you built for my patio hasn't been completed. It's been 3 months. There isn't much point to having a fence that has a meter long gap. Between pride parade and the fireworks there are going to be a lot of people in my neighborhood, many of whom, while nice outside of these events, tend to get drunk and do idiotic things. I would like to keep these idiotic things off of my patio. I have enough of my idiot friends on there dancing, adding strangers to the mix isn't a good idea.

Once again, I do appreciate all your work lately, it's awesome, but just a friendly reminder.

Judge Judy would own you if you ever brought this too her... she would tell you if he messed up once to never let him inside your appartment again. And secondly to MOVE OUT! The paint was bad enough, how could you let things continue to slide?

Huh? It doesn't work like that Rhia. Maybe if he was getting his car detailed or going in for some kind of service, but the onus should NEVER be on a tenant to leave their living space. The laws in BC are set up specifically to protect tenants from having to leave their home.

Not going to someone for business is one thing. Having to pick up ALL YOUR STUFF and move to a different location is completely different. And unless the landlord is willing to cover all his expenses (hotel, moving van, security deposit, labour hours to move) then the tenant is under no obligation to leave under the law. IANAL, but as far as I understand it, it's a landlord's duty to make sure that the tenants' property is not damaged during maintenance. If they do not perform that duty, they are liable.

You don't have the option to tell your landlord to never enter your apartment again. They own it, possession is 9/10ths etc.

^Sue in progress???

I don't have any dispute with the facts as you present them here, but in terms of the options Chris should and shouldn't be considering, "moving the fuck out of this retarded place" is definetely in the "should" column.

Moving's a bitch, but so is staying in a bad spot, right?

[NinjaBoy]

Overall the place is great. But the length of time/incompetence that the renovations are being done is pretty bad.

[MissBehavior]

There has to be SOMEONE that you can report this gongshow to.

When you pay rent, you expect your shit to work. And apparently this isn't happening...Maybe you should pay less rent until it gets better? (and yes, I do realize that this isn't really an option).

[ebbomega]

AFAIK (IANAL) (And whatever other acronyms you can think of) they should pay for the damage for not properly warning him to move/cover his personal items. If the contractors did it without the landlord's direction then THEY should pay for it. Either way, someone unjustly damaged his property and is liable for it. If the landlords give a stink about it take it to small claims.

Oh, and move the fuck out.
