The last 6 months have been rough, especially the last 2. Trying to make my voice heard isn’t as simple as telling my story. There have been roadblocks and hurdles and detours that have made it even harder than it should be. It also hasn’t helped that there are individuals who are insisting on seeing me fail, to the point that they’ve made it obvious that’s what they’re doing.
Today, I did something that I consider brave and it scared the crap out of me to do it, but I did it anyway: I submitted multiple applications to the Ontario Landlord Tenant Board to have this issue regarding the interference of heat to stop. I did so knowing full well that the landlord’s representative could come back with a threat. He had done so already once before when he threatened to bring in the police to evict us, even though it’s against the law to do so. The landlord and her ‘representative’ got a courtesy heads up so they wouldn’t be surprised and claim they were caught off guard by the applications. The response so far basically read: thank you for the notice, although the portable heaters you were provided and the locked thermostat that was installed should have been sufficient to fix the problem.
I have no regrets going after the landlord for the stupidity that is the narcissist in the apartment upstairs.
