I
have made repairs to my apartment at my own expense. The lease
states that my landlord was to do these repairs but he ignored
this, even when I told him. How can I
recover the money I have spent?
I
am having a problem with ants in my apartment. I have told my
landlord several times, but he has not done anything about it.
Is there anything I can do?
Under
the terms of my residential tenancy agreement, my landlady agreed
to carry out repairs to all the appliances and the plumbing. Two
weeks ago, the refrigerator stopped working. I complained immediately,
but still no one has come to look at it. Can
I use some of my rent money to get someone to fix the refrigerator?
For
the last two weeks, there has been renovation work going on in
my apartment building. I work at home a lot during the day and
find it very loud. My tenancy agreement states that my landlord
would not disturb my peaceful enjoyment of the premises. Is
there anything I can do about this?
I
have reported a problem with my landlord to the local Landlord
and Tenant Advisory Board. It said that it could mediate the problem
for me. What is mediation?
