For the better part of the last month and a half, I have made it a point to ignore the narcissists attempts to get me to react to his dog whistle routine. It took a couple of weeks for him to realize I may have been ignoring his attempts. In return, he has gradually increased his efforts to no avail.
However, that changed. For the past two days, he has decided to increase his efforts exponentially and has decided to cut the heat off for the entire building. It started yesterday morning and the heat stayed off for the entire day. It did eventually come on again but it wasn’t until the middle of the night. We were gone for most of the day, so it didn’t affect us too much (my son had a doctor’s appointment in the morning and we had a play day for the rest of the day). Today, the same thing happened: the heat was off by 7:15am and has been off since.
The landlord is aware of the situation but she is choosing to turn a blind eye to it because of his ‘family man image’ and he’s been helping her out financially by paying some of the bills related to the building.
To say I am livid would be the understatement of the year. Since we live in the Province of Ontario, an application was submitted to the Landlord Tenant Board regarding the issue. He was made aware of it, but he’s unphased by it and keeps turning the heat off (despite it being against the law). I’m expecting it to get worse because he has no qualms about sacrificing everyone else’s safety and comfort just to get his way.
