A couple hours after the second alarm, an announcement was broadcast over the speaker stating that a test of the fire alarm system would be conducted today, and to disregard further alarms. This was in fact the case as the fire alarm sounded intermittently for several hours (as it usually does during the annual fire alarm test).

Later in the day, the following notice of entry form was slipped into my mail slot. The notice says that a routine annual fire inspection will be conducted in the unit, tomorrow October 29 some time between 9 and 5.

At 8:43am on October 28th, the fire alarm went off for the second time today. By 8:50am the fire alarm had been switched off, and the fire department was already on scene. I spoke with a fire fighter who was interacting with the panel in the entry way and asked him about the possible cause. He said that this alarm had the same origin as the one that happened earlier this morning, and that it was 'likely a faulty sensor'.

Today, at 7:26am on October 28th, the fire alarm went off and sounded for approximately ten minutes. At 7:36am, I arrived downstairs to see that the fire department was already on scene in front of the panel in the entry way. The fire department was speaking with both representatives of the building's management team. The fire department left shortly after I arrived downstairs. I asked one of the representatives of the building's management team about the cause of the alarm and they said "You never know with these things, it could have been that somebody pulled the fire alarm, it could have been someone smoking in the parking garage." I asked if the origin of the alarm was from the parking garage, and they responded "Yeah, it was in the parking garage."

Below, you will find a redacted copy of the information package that I received in the mail on October 15th from the landlord and tenant board:



Upon logging into the Ontario Tribunals portal and reviewing my case, I can see that 5 pieces of evidence were submitted by the landlord. One piece of evidence was the 'SCHEDULE A' mentioned in the L2 application (which I will not release, since it relates to other tenants). The other four pieces of evidence are provided below:

• Certificate Of Serice


• N13 Copy


• Form L2: Application to End A Tenancy


• NOTICE OF VIDEO HEARING

At 6:01pm, there was a power outage 250 Frederick and the surrounding community affecting approximately 1000 people. Power was restored by around 7:29pm.

Today, in the evening of October 19th 2024, a tenant reported to me that they do not have hot water. The tenant claimed that another tenant in the 07 apartment stack does not have hot water as well.

Today, October 17th 2024, I observed the following notice posted in the hallway by the elevators:

Today, on October 15th 2024, I received a large envelope delivered by Canada Post from the Landlord and Tenant Board. The envelope contains several pages, one of which indicates a case number for the L2 application that the landlord has filed against me.

Highlights of the information package include the following:

• The 'Date Submitted' on my file is '2024-09-30'. This implies that the period of time between the landlord filing the application and the date when I received it in the mail was 15 days.


• The status of the L2 application is 'Hearing Scheduled' with a hearing date of 2025-02-19, which is just over 4 months away.


• Several documents are attached to the case, which includes a scanned copy of the N13 that the landlord served to me, and a full list of all other tenants in the building who also got an N13 notice. According to the information that was submitted, a total of 61 units (of approximately 108 units in total) in this building have been served with N13s notices as of September 30.


• One of the documents attached to my file includes a description saying that the hearing will take place over a video call, and provides a link to join the video call when the hearing happens. Alternatively, it also allows you to call in to join the hearing via phone call if you do not have internet.

I will post more information on this topic in the future.
