So, I went to see the paralegal (not a lawyer as I previously mentioned) re the issues I'm facing with regards to my basement. The paralegal has advised me that when the City knocks on my door to do their inspection, I should...

MicK101 Thank TeamCholent....it is really good news....I feel relieved now. I will actually start working on putting the drywalls up this weekend. If the City comes, then at least I've done something and they'd be easy on me. I actually have a contract with the...

I am a first time homeowner who've decided to rent out my basement due to financial difficulties my family is facing since my wife had lost her job. A few weeks after we let the tenant in into ourlives, our hellish life began....

MicK101 Hi Kris...it would be hard for me to increase the ceiling height since the flooring is tiled and for the ceiling - the pipes are in the way. I'm glad you've got your own place now...be careful with tenants...regardless of how nice they seem. Everything will...

MicK101 The City don't keep track or investigate houses on their own. They must first receive a complain (normally from a neighbour - in my case, the tenant herself) to start their investigation. Right now, I am waiting for the City to knock on my door since my...

MicK101 I would assume that the fire department to give me time to put up drywalls as recommended. However, I don't know what the City will have to say about my basement. I hope it's the same as the fire department's recommendation and that the City won't take legal...

MicK101 Why do good landlords couldn't find good tenants? You've been in a far worst living accomodation compared to the tenant renting my basement who've called the fire department and the City...and not to mention that the unit is fully renovated - brand new...

MicK101 You really have a good point there TeamCholent....don't think that the City would take legal action against me without giving me a chance to repair or renovate what is needed to be done first. Unfortunately, the same tenant is still living in my basement...
