Dear 250 Frederick Inc. Management,
This is a notice to inform you of the following:
1) In relation to the notice that I received on April 30, 2024 titled 'Notice To End your Tenancy Because the Landlord Wants to Demolish the Rental Unit, Repair it or Convert it to Another Use N13', this is a formal response to notify you that I disagree with this notice. Furthermore, my existing lease agreement and tenancy will continue as usual under the existing terms.
2) In late February 2024, I spoke with [redacted] about whether the building had a formal policy for roommates. I was surprised to hear from her that roommates are not allowed, despite the fact that I am the sole occupant of a two bedroom apartment. I have also had a roommate before under the previous management with issue. I asked her if she was certain about this, and she responded that she was indeed sure, and that she even checked with the head office to be sure.
This declaration is at odds with common sense and numerous legal writings, which says that the landlord cannot "arbitrarily or unreasonably" prevent a tenant from having a roommate.
Therefore, I would like to formally request that 250 Frederick Inc. provide a statement to clarify their position on this subject in writing within 30 calendar days.
3) Repair Of Tap
On June 16, I spoke with [redacted] to make him aware of an issue that I have with a leaky tap. He replied that he would take a look at it when general inspections were performed in a few days. [redacted] did indeed stop by and inspected the tap and confirmed that the leak was present. Several days later, I saw [redacted] in the hall and asked him about the status of the repair. He said that the issue had been escalated to the head office, but did not provide a specific time estimate for the repair schedule.
As of today, August 26, 2024 the leaking tap persists and presents a flooding hazard. Attached to this letter, you will find photos demonstrating the mechanism of the leak.
If 250 Frederick Inc. does not fix this tap or provide a concrete plan to do so within 30 calendar days, then 250 Frederick Inc. agrees to indemnify TD Insurance for all damages, directly or indirectly resulting from the neglect of this known and declared flooding hazard for an unlimited amount. In the event of actual damages resulting from this leaky tap, this document and the accompanying pictures and video of the leaky tap, will be submitted as evidence to TD Insurance.
Sincerely,
Robert Elder of 250 Frederick Street (Apt [redacted])
