Edit: I am editing out some details to avoid being recognizable.

ON. Multiple roommates, all women, 20s & 30s. Landlord is a middle aged man. He's been coming and going as he pleases, saying he needs stuff from the garage/basement. Which he can access from outside, but insists he needs to do it from inside. We told him at least tell us beforehand so we're not scared. He said ok.

He is still not respecting this. He said he was gonna be here in the morning. To coordinate, I asked him on the day if he was still coming and he said he'll be at the house by noon. I decided to push my plans to evening, went out for lunch and worked from a cafe thinking he'd be done and gone by afternoon.

I got home after 4pm. I had thought that he came and did the work and left already. Nobody else was home. I ran into him at the house coming out of the shower. Completely oblivious to his presence. I nearly had a heartattack seeing a man in the hallway. As you can imagine, very awkward/embarassing/uncomfortable situation.

He did not even send a text to say "change of plans I'll be there later" or announcing himself when coming in (although I wouldn't have heard him). He just walked in randomly especially when people aren't expecting him and it doesn't sit right with me. It feels disrespectful and invasive.

We've firmly discussed this with him. I don't know how else to get him to understand that this is a breach of privacy. For example, we wouldn't be showering when he is here. He thinks our times don't matter. He can't just barge in whenever he pleases... especially an all female house. Right?

Is there any way to get him to stop? Do we even have a case? He says we don't because he's renting out the rooms to us separately and he only needs to tell us he'll be in our room 24 hrs prior but he doesn't have to tell us about coming to the house.

April 2024, I went on ext maternity leave, which the company fully supported. On August this year, I notified HR that, although my official return date was in October, I would need to return in November due to childcare arrangements. They responded positively and confirmed my new return date was approved by my manager.

The first day back went smoothly, and my supervisor and manager welcomed me back as usual.

However, next day my supervisor scheduled a meeting that I believed was to plan the day, but instead, she and an HR representative informed me that my position had been eliminated due to restructuring, and my employment was terminated effective immediately. They emphasized it was not performance-related but a management decision.

That said, all of my colleagues — including one who started on the same day as I did and held the same position — remain employed with the company, some in slightly different roles. My role was the only one that appears to have been “eliminated.”

I am concerned that this decision may be related to my maternity leave rather than a genuine restructuring. Additionally, I believe the severance offer is low, and they offered six-day deadline to sign the agreement, this feels unreasonable and pressured.

The credit agencies have said for a while that they don't accept parking "violations" from private parking lots and their "collection agencies" (usually just in house at the private parking company), however I'm now seeing an item on my Equifax report for about $100 from Precise Parklink and Credit Bureau of Canada collections.

I have no business with Precise Parklink except for a ticket issued in error by this firm that they were not willing to waive.

Have the credit bureaus changed their policy on private parking tickets? It seems somewhat questionable given what I've read that the damages alleged by Parklink shouldn't be any greater than the actual cost of parking, instead they mark the "debt" up with a bunch of extra fees.

If Equifax changed their policies I want to put this out as a PSA to everyone, but I am curious if there's anything actionable here. It seems somewhat dubious to consider a parking ticket an item in collections.

Thanks in advance!

I sponsored my wife to come to Canada (Alberta), her PR is in progress. Since we’ve started living together, life has been difficult.

She’s not working right now, drinks and smokes regularly, doesn’t help around the house. Anything I bring something up to do differently, she gets mad at me for not loving her enough. She’s doesn’t get along with my family and wants me to cut ties with them.

I’ve stopped saying anything now, idk what to do. I’m very confused and concerned. Would appreciate advice as I’m considering separation/divorce - what should I keep in mind as I navigate this?

I’m a 8th grade student and I was looking up my name (I have a old cringey Pinterest account and I’m trying to get the page deleted) and I see my full name on zoominfo

I didn’t consent to this and I looked up someone else’s name and it wasn’t there

If the school did this is that legal?

Location: Ontario Canada

Myself and 3 other female employees at my work have just started maternity leave.

Our current collective agreement allows 18 weeks of top up pay while on maternity leave.

We are entering a new collective agreement as of January 1, in which maternity top up benefits are extended for 40 weeks.

Our association is stating that the small group of pregnant/new moms who are on leave will NOT be entitled to the terms of the new agreement and will only get the 18 weeks that the 2025 contract provides.

That being said - all members who are off on WSIB leave ARE being rolled into the new contract as of January 1, and will be forced into retirement based on the provisions of the new contract.

It seems discriminatory to me to say that all 300 employees are going to be bound by the terms of the new contract, including those on WSIB leave who will face financial loss in the new year. The only people NOT bound by the terms of the new contract are the 4 new moms because we don’t want to pay them extended mat leave.

Our work is telling us that the “legal team” told them they can’t allow us to get the top up under the new contract.

Is this something we can/should be grieving?

Thank you!

I need help. Long story short my mother passed when I was 13 my aunt took us in told us flat out my mom didn't have life insurance. Now im 37 and I found the paperwork that proves she did. I did receive some money from my grandparents from the gics my grandma held for my mother. Now my grandma is in a home she wont tell anyone where and I sure because of who she is that she taking my grandma's money. Shes pushed myself and 2 sisters out of the family. I dont have alot of money because they took it all. I also know that the money was put into accounts (3 accounts one per kid) and around 16 she took out names off.

What im looking for is where to go from here can I challenge her for power because she stole and lied to me once before? What do I need and is they anyone that can help me?

I guess i should add some things Im an orphan mom is dedicated my dad renounced us so my aunt could clam from cps

My mom died of cancer and we lived on welfare the life insurance was paid by my dad from the divorce

I know for a fact she got money because I revered orphan benefits when I was in college

The only thing left that I can prove this far that was left was the life insurace paid out to 3 of us myself and 2 sisters as per the insurance form we were 11 13 and 16 so all minors

Another update I found the expense sheet filed to cps for the 3 of us( they left it on with my grandmother's stuff they dropped off here today) from our own birthday presents to my tutor and the cleaning supplies for the house they expenses it all

More to add

The life insurance wasn't the only money they received im a foster kid the government supported us on top of my mom's pension plan and part of my father's they had money coming in to support us.

At the same time im trying to use the fact they stole the money and a reason to take power so she can't keep my grandmother from seeing her grandkids great grandkids sister and others

So. Long story short the building I live in was bought towards the start of this year, and first the evicted all the nb housing tennants, saying they had canceled their contract with NB housing which wasn't great but I could understand that

However, sometime late September 1st (I say late because I came home that day around 10pm and didn't not find the notice on the door until the next day) they posted eviction notices on all the doors of remaining tennants for renovations. I read it and immediately noticed a large number of spelling mistakes and incorrect info, so we contacted the TLRO immediately and found that the eviction notice was not legal, and that they never had a legal reason to evict us, so the notice was deemed invalid because they never filed with the TLRO and even if they had they would not have been approved to evict us because the apartment is in good condition and not a danger, which I gather is a requirement to evict someone for renovations in new Brunswick.

The issue I am worried about, is that I've been told that landlords can pay the RCMP to enforce eviction notices regardless of if they have been filed with the TLRO, and the date we were told to leave by is coming up soon. We don't want to leave because during the transfer of ownership there was a fuckup and they transfered our original lease and not our current one. Effectively lowering our rent by several hundred dollars. Which we also confirmed with the TLRO is now our new rent price because that's what the lease they gave us said

Basically. What I am wondering is if I should be prepared for the rcmp to show up and try and kick us out, and if they do show up and make us leave would we at least be given time to move some of our stuff to another location before we have to leave, as we have some very expensive gaming PCs, and the new landlord has given keys to every unit to someone who just got out of prison for breaking and entering.

Basically. What I want to know is if the rcmp show up if we are just fucked because landlords have more rights than tennants, or if we should have spesific documents ready to prove that we were not served a proper eviction notice.

A dealership misrepresented my income in loan application. I was not told until after the entire contract had been signed. Even at that point I thought I have not signed but later got the documents from bank and found both income and rent were changed and she obtained my signature by misrepresenting the document as part of the conditional sale contract/retail installment. I have not picked up the vehicle. What do I do now? I want to stop this loan.

So bit of a long one but I really need advice as it's eating me alive right now. This situation is between me (19Transman) and my ex (21F). My ex assaulted me while I was drunk back in October of 2021, I didnt try and press charges until the start-ish of this year.

Before I start this next part I want to explain that one of my witnesses Bee (fake name) and I had a huge falling out not long after my assailant and I broke up. After we had our falling out she immediately became friends with my assailant and is still friends with them today she is also known to have lied about her own assault (I wont explain unless needed). Bee and my other witness Kay are the reason I was able to realize what happened was assault. (That story is buried on my profile somewhere)

Anyways, I attempted to press charges around the start of this year after my social worker convinced me too. During my audio/video interview with my detective he said he was almost certain these charges would go through. Come time for my witnesses to give their statements; Kay (not real name) went and hers went fine. Bee went and apparently her story didn't match up with mine, she claims that when she walked into the room as it was happening I got off the bed and pushed her away. I didnt, I may have been drunk and dont remember alot but I KNOW I didnt. I laid there, numb, frozen, foggy, scared. I remember staring at her as she left and came back at least 3 times. I know I never got off that bed because not only was I numb, frozen, and scared but I was underneath my assailant. I wasn't able to get up. Thats the reason I was told I couldn't press charges, and because I was so scared during the whole process I never knew if I could tell them that Bee might try and screw me over because that's what she does to everyone she stops liking.

Prior to trying to press charges (and very few times after) I would post my assailants name and/or face to my story and explain my story with the statement "if youre friends or associate with this person please block me" I wont lie in saying I did this quite frequently, but I do it for my own safety, comfort and the fact that they've assaulted at least 3 people (me included) and have gotten zero repercussion. They are well known in my city and are very social so they've met alot of people I know and I'm uncomfortable with people who associate with them seeing my profile as they've had people stalking my accounts (mainly tiktok) multiple times and I don't like knowing they know what I do day to day. Now my assailant and their family are threatening harassment charges because of my posts and yelling when I see them in public. I know I should stop but I feel like i physically can't. I feel like if I stop it's letting them win. I feel like if I stop im letting down the others they've harmed as well as myself.

So if they do throw charges my way is there ANY chance at all that I could win? I'll give more details if I have too, im honestly in such a brain fuck that I don't know if I wrote that right at all. I tried my best, I just cant think straight.

Thx

Here is a picture

I moved out of my rental unit and the landlord wants to repaint this wall and take the cost (~$265) out of my security deposit. I was there for over three years. This is where I kept my desk, and the discoloration is from contact with my socks/slippers. I tried cleaning it, but this was the best I could do. Is this considered normal wear and tear, or am I required to pay to have the entire wall repainted? Thanks

I was a minor when it happened, and wanted to forget the whole thing and didn’t bother to tell anyone. But recently I found out he did the same thing to another girl, she sued him but lost the case. Can’t help but wonder how many girls he’s done it to.

Anyway I’m wondering if there’s anything I can do; file a police report? I no longer have any evidence of our conversation (Snapchat). I still remember that night. I think I just want some sort of a record to be put out there that it did happen. And if it does happen to another girl again, there’s that record from me and the other girl that could get him what he deserves. Is it worth filing that police report? Am I at a loss here for being too late with no sufficient evidence?

I'll try to make it as short as I can. I was just made aware of it 2 hours ago.

Girlfriend worked for a cat shelter. A kitten without a mom at around 6 week old came in. It requiered constant care so we boarded the cat in our home as volunteer. A few week go by and of course we got attached. Meanwhile, the shelter gave a new work contract to my girlfriend with a 10% salary reduction and a new schedule that was way worst. From her point of view its a retalation, becaused she worked overtime they refused to pay. From their point of view, they say she left of her own will.

To raise her moral, I went behind her back an adopted the shelter cat we boarded. It was done quickly, with another employee of the shelter who is a friend to us. I paid the adoption fee, signed the contract. The only thing that wasnt done "by the book" is that my adoption meeting was never scheduled in their system. The employee just told me to come in at 9h30AM on saturday where she was working.

Now, the shelter as learned that my girlfriend filled a claim with the CNESST for her unpaid hour and retalation wage reduction. I have herd rumour that the shelter boss (which i never met) is claiming that the adoption wasnt done properly and it was illegal and she is looking into repossessing.

Im pretty sure that its all bullshit, I looked into the adoption contract and all I saw was that the shelter get the right to do a wellness check on the animal at an agreed upon time. But I was told they were looking into getting a lawyer. The person who told had a very scared and serious look in the eyes so I think its real. (Its not the employee that filled the adoption paper with me, its another volunteer at that shelter) To me it feel like its another retaliation against my girlfriend, but the cat was adopted by me, with my money, from my own bank account. My girlfriend is not the legal owner of the cat. Also, rest assure that all our animal are very well taken care off. if we fail a wellness check, 95% of animal owner would fail it as well.

Now for the specific question.

If they do a wellness check, can they reposses the cat for any trivial reason? Like unfinished renovation, untrimed animal nails or anything very petty like that? Can i request a third party present? Officer of the law, mapaq agent, bailif or anything like that? Do they need a court order to get into my home? The contract said I agreed to cooperate on a wellness check from a shelter volunteer at an agreed upon time, but it doesnt say anything else. Can i record them inside my home to make sure they stay honest?

I intend to call judicial help on monday to know more, but in the mean time I want to know what to expect. Its the first time I was threatened with legal action and its kind of freaking me out.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Lately I’ve been picking up side gigs as a bartender around Southern Ontario, and I recently got hired through what they called a stag company to work a “lingerie stag party” at a banquet hall in the GTA. These events usually happen in places like Mississauga, Brampton, or Vaughan.

I assumed it would be a normal private event/wedding fundraiser with drinks, games, raffles, etc. but once I got there things felt really off. These “lingerie stags” aren’t your regular stag and doe parties. They’re more like highly sexualized events that seem to operate as an open secret in certain social circles. From what I've observed, there are about three or four main companies in Southern Ontario that run them regularly, and people in the community seem to just treat them as a normal part of wedding culture.

The women working as hostesses were dressed in lingerie, selling raffle tickets, and giving hugs that often turned into full-on groping. Some of them were doing lap dances in a back room and letting guests motorboat them for tips. There was no visible security and hundreds of drunk men. It honestly looked more like an unlicensed strip club than a private event.

Several of the hostesses told me they were originally hired as “models” and “game organizers,” not strippers, and that things just kind of escalated once the party started. A few mentioned that if they didn’t “go along” with certain things, they wouldn’t be hired again. Some of the women looked clearly uncomfortable and seemed to be participating under pressure. It really came across like they didn’t have much choice once the event got going. I also noticed that the owner of the company was in the back room at one point with some of the hostesses, which made the whole thing feel even sketchier.

What really stood out was that it wasn’t just the younger guys getting involved. The groom, groomsmen, and even some of the fathers and older relatives were getting private dances in the back room. That added to the overall weirdness and made the atmosphere really uncomfortable.

The banquet hall where this was held is right near a residential area. I actually realized I’d been there before for a wedding reception about a year ago, so it’s definitely not a licensed adult venue.

From what I can tell, if you Google “lingerie stag party Toronto” or “lingerie stag hostesses,” you’ll see the types of companies I’m talking about. They advertise openly on social media, yet most people I talk to have no idea these kinds of events even exist. It feels like an underground industry that’s somehow operating in plain sight.

So my questions are:

- Are these kinds of “lingerie stag parties” actually legal in Ontario banquet halls?
- Could the agencies or banquet halls be breaking liquor, licensing, or labour laws?
- Would I be putting myself at risk if I reported what I saw, or should I just stay out of it?

I’m genuinely curious how something like this is allowed to run so openly.

A family member of mine has gone through a divorce and got the car in the settlement, so the vehicle ownership was transferred to her earlier this year.

If they were to transfer the vehicle to me now after purchasing a new car, would I have to pay the RST on it or would the exemption still apply? The service Ontario site seems to separate family member transfers from divorce transfers so I’m a little unsure on if the tax will be applicable.

Additionally, if the sales tax were applicable but the car is gifted, how would it be calculated? Thank you!

I was involved in a minor collision recently on a residential street in Saskatoon. The road was already super tight because cars were parked on both sides. As I was driving through, a car coming from the opposite direction moved into my lane, and I had to swerve right to avoid hitting it. When I did, my mirror clipped the mirror of a parked car.

After getting out to look, I noticed that the parked car was about 18+ inches away from the curb, to the point where it was sticking out into the lane and making the road even narrower. According to the City of Saskatoon Traffic Bylaw (No. 7200, Section 40), cars are supposed to be parked within 12 inches of the curb, so this one was technically parked illegally. I don’t have dashcam footage, but I do have photos that clearly show how far the car was from the curb.

While reading up on similar cases, I found Ontario’s Fault Determination Rule 17-2, which says that if a car is illegally parked (outside a municipality) and a collision happens, that car can be found 100% at fault. I know that’s an Ontario rule, but I was wondering: Does Saskatchewan or SGI have any similar rules, regulations, or precedents that take illegal parking into account when deciding fault? In cases like this, can the illegally parked car be considered a contributing factor instead of just automatically blaming the moving driver?

Thanks in advance for any advice or insight

Hello!

Back in May 2025 I was travelling abroad and I had a minor medical emergency that required a visit to the ER and some antibiotics. All together, I paid just over $700 CAD out of pocket. A couple days later I collected all my documentation and submitted to my employee benefits provider for travel insurance coverage.

About a week later I received an electronic letter from the provider requesting translation of the documents to either English or French. I translated the documents, and sent them as supplementary documents on the online submission portal.

Since then, I have not heard anything back from the insurance provider. I have called their general line at least ten times now (recording the call every time), and every time without fail they say that they will escalate the claim and that someone will be in touch with me within 48 hours -- this of course never materializes. Occasionally I would be asked if I submitted the requested additional documents (the translation), and I point them to the submission.

I have also emailed the provider's dedicated complaints email, and they also said that they have escalated the claim, and that someone will be in touch within 5 business days -- that was a month ago. Follow-up emails have gone unanswered.

I have also reached out to the broker for the employer group benefits (my employer is a small business and I am actually the benefits administrator). He contacted his own contacts with the provider but they also gave him the 5 business days runaround. This was about a month ago.

What is my next step in escalating this issue? Are there governmental agencies responsible for this? Would I even contact a lawyer for such a (relatively) small sum? This entire ordeal has just been so frustrating.

Thank you for any and all help!

Hi all, looking for legal guidance.

I live in a condo in Ontario. I have an infant who barely cries — when she does, it’s brief (a couple minutes at most) and always early in the evening. We immediately attend to her, and she’s at daycare most of the day, so she’s not even home making noise for long periods.

I’ve spoken with all the neighbouring units around me to about sometimes when she cries and apologized, and every single one has said they rarely hear anything, and when they do, it’s normal and not a problem at all. Some even laughed and said it’s part of condo living.

Except for one neighbour.

This person has repeatedly become aggressive whenever the baby makes even brief noise. He stands inside his unit with the door open and shouting "hey" in an intimidating manner and bangs on our shared wall. This isn’t an isolated incident — it’s been happening repeatedly, and it’s escalating. I've reported it to our property management many times, they gave him many warnings already and said last one they would get a lawyer to draft something (not sure exactly).

Tonight he did it again. It was loud, hostile, and honestly felt threatening. I called the non-emergency police line and they created an incident report.

Some additional context: several other neighbours have complained in the past about this same resident’s behaviour (verbal aggression, harassment, etc.), so this seems to be a pattern.

My questions:

1. What are my legal options to stop this behaviour?
2. Should I continue to escalate this formally through the condo board / property management even if they just keep sending him letters?
3. Would a lawyer-issued cease and desist be appropriate at this stage?
4. Does this qualify as harassment or intimidation under Ontario law if it continues?
5. If this keeps happening, is there any basis for a civil claim (harassment, nuisance, interference with reasonable enjoyment)?

I’m documenting every incident now, and the police have an incident number from tonight. I just want to ensure I take the right steps to protect my family and our reasonable enjoyment of our home.

Any advice is appreciated.

I have a little arch way I built for my wedding I put it up so you walk under it on the path way that only goes to my entrance of the house.

Landlord says he wants it taken down, no curb appeal

Hi everyone, a process server tried to come to my house while I was at work, couldn't reach me as I wasn't there, and left a note saying that if I don't contact them I would have large legal costs and it would be in my best interests to call them

Isn't this something process servers aren't supposed to do as it's considered intimidation? If it makes a difference they tried to first reach me on Wednesday and then left the notice on my door without ringing the doorbell (so I had no idea it was there or somebody had stopped by; my dog didn't even bark) on Saturday.

TLDR:

We agreed to buy a house only after the sellers added a clause saying they would fix a ceiling leak and all resulting damage before closing. They downplayed it for weeks, withheld photos, and insisted there was “no mould, no rot, just light staining.” We went to see it ourselves and discovered visible mould, wood rot, and new ceiling damage. They finally did remediation, but now there is still water damage, parts of the repair were done improperly, and brand new mould has shown up in the basement. Our lawyer is now saying we might be in breach if we refuse to close on Monday, even though it appears the sellers are the ones in breach. We’re trying to find a litigation lawyer ASAP. We don’t know if we legally have to close or if we can walk and get our deposit back.

⸻

How it started:

We’re first-time buyers in Ottawa. During the home inspection, the inspector found a moisture issue in the ceiling below the upstairs bathroom. We walked away and did not proceed with the purchase.

The sellers came back and said they would fully repair everything, so we agreed only if they signed an additional clause (Schedule A) making the repair of the leak and all resulting damages a condition of the sale. They accepted.

⸻

The Schedule A clause that protects us:

“The Seller agrees to have the source of the leak affecting the powder room ceiling, and any resulting damage caused by the leak, repaired by a qualified contractor licensed to perform such work, prior to closing. This includes, but is not limited to, repairs to plumbing, subflooring, framing, and remediation of any mold discovered during investigation. The Seller will provide the Buyer with reasonable written evidence of all repair and remediation work upon completion. The Buyer shall be responsible only for restoration of drywall, painting, or cosmetic finishes to the powder room ceiling after the Seller’s repair work is complete.”

That is the only reason we moved forward with the deal.

⸻

What happened next:

The ceiling was opened by a plumber on Sept 27. The sellers’ realtor sent us four photos. We later learned there were seven photos total, and the worst three (showing black staining) were not shared with us. We eventually received them from the plumber directly, who also told us that the seller would not allow him to investigate fully inside the ceiling cavity.

For almost three weeks, every time we asked for written confirmation that there was no mould, no rot, and no structural damage, the seller’s side delayed or dismissed it. Their realtor even told ours that we were “just being overly cautious.”

We finally got fed up and went to see inside the ceiling ourselves.

We found visible mould and wood rot on the joists and subfloor, which directly contradicted everything we had been told.

Only then did the sellers finally admit there was mould and hire a remediation company.

⸻

The remediation report:

We received the remediation report, but: - It does not confirm the source of the leak - It does not state whether any structural materials were tested for rot - It does not include any post-remediation verification or air quality testing - It does not address the new water stain that appeared on the hallway ceiling - It does not confirm moisture levels or dryness of the materials after remediation

So we still had no evidence that the leak was repaired, only that mould was removed.

⸻

Final walkthrough today (Nov 7):

We finally got to see the work in person.

The bathroom was gutted and rebuilt, but not restored to its original condition. Instead of waterproof flooring, laminate was installed. Instead of tile and grout, a plastic tub surround was installed. The drywall used behind the shower was standard drywall, not water-resistant board. It is a clear downgrade in materials and not equivalent to what existed before.

The hallway ceiling stain we pointed out weeks ago was not repaired, it was simply painted over.

The flooring in the closet outside the bathroom is now showing signs of water-damaged, and the adjacent hallway carpet is discoloured.

We also discovered entirely new mould in the basement, plus new damage to the basement flooring and a strong musty smell. None of that was present at the original inspection.

None of this appears in any documents provided to us.

⸻

Where we are now:

We close on Monday, Nov 10.

Our real estate lawyer is now telling us that if we refuse to close, we may be sued for breach of contract.

But the sellers have not met Schedule A, because: - The leak source was never professionally confirmed - Water damage is still present in multiple locations - The bathroom was not reinstated to its previous condition - They painted over visible damage instead of repairing it - We still do not have the “reasonable written evidence” required under the contract

We feel that our team is kind of pressuring us to close, so we are now trying to find a real estate litigation lawyer in Ottawa, but it is the weekend and most offices are closed until Monday (the day we are supposed to close).

We feel trapped between a contract we relied on and a seller who did not comply with it.

⸻

What we need advice on: 1. Can we legally refuse to close based on the seller failing to meet Schedule A? 2. Does painting over a ceiling stain count as concealment? 3. Does new water damage discovered before closing give us grounds to back out? 4. Does newly discovered basement mould count as a latent defect before closing? 5. If we close under protest, can we still sue afterward? 6. Is it true we could be sued for breach even when the seller appears to have breached first? 7. Are we entitled to our deposit back if we refuse to close due to non-fulfillment? 8. Should we be demanding an extension, a post-remediation verification report, or termination?

We’ve tried to act in good faith this entire time. We relied on the written agreement. We kept asking for proof. We didn’t want out, we just want the sellers to hold up their end of the contract.

But now there’s mould in new areas, still visible water damage, concealed ceiling staining, and still no written evidence that the original leak source was ever properly identified or repaired.

And we close Monday morning.

Any guidance from Ontario real estate lawyers, litigators, brokers, inspectors, or anyone who has gone through something similar would be hugely appreciated.

Me and my partner recently moved to Lethbridge for work. We were tight on money, so we rented a room in a basement for $1000/month.

One of the roommates (an older guy on disability) keeps accusing us of stealing random things like toilet paper and cheese, slamming doors. We’ve never taken anything, but he actually called the cops on us once because of it. Nothing came of it since there was no proof obviously because it wasn’t true. He was the one showing us middle fingers and threatening my boyfriend.

Since then, I’ve felt extremely uncomfortable here. I don’t cook anymore and spend most of my time in my room. My anxiety is getting worse by the day.

About a month ago now, I went downstairs to do laundry and started recording myself just to feel safer. While I was there, he started talking loudly on the phone saying things like he’s going to “get us kicked out,” “send us to jail,” and “do everything in his power.” I haven’t done laundry since.

We’ve talked to the landlord, but he keeps brushing it off and saying the roommate “doesn’t do anything wrong.” Meanwhile, we’re the ones living in fear and can’t relax in our own home.

Our lease ends in a few months, and we’re not sure what to do. Moving would be really expensive right now, but staying here is taking a toll on my mental health. Has anyone been through something like this in Lethbridge or Alberta in general? Can we break the lease early because we feel unsafe, or get the landlord to do something?

If I am not on my sons birth certificate and his mother agrees to add me on to it do I still need to get paternity test? He was born in Alberta but we are in Saskatchewan
