Friday July 2, 2004
As agreed on Wednesday, I made a payment to my landlord and screens were installed this morning. I also gave him a letter listing 33 separate things that need repair in my apartment and the building and grounds and requesting the work be completed by July 28. 95% of these are violations of the Property Standards by-law, the rest covered by the Tenant Protection Act. Far too many have existed since I moved in two years ago. Some appear on the original list of the conditions then and/or on the Order to Repair issued last June.
The preparation of this letter got me back into fight mode. I needed some information about what steps I could take to undo the mess that had resulted on Wednesday. The message I left for Queen's Legal Aid went unanswered too long, so I made my way down there in person. Unbeknownst to me they were closed today.
It was 4 pm when I emerged from my legal coach's office to heed his instructions to send faxes to the necessary parties informing them of my perceptions of the tone of the mediation and my wish to reopen my application. He'd said I should get this done before EOB today.
Got it just under the wire to the ORHT and within a few minutes to the rest of them. There's more I have to do and find out and then meet with him again on Monday.
And now things are a little less tilted in my world, so I'm heading to bed to sleep much better than I have for the past two nights. I'd have a nice warm bath to sooth my nerves, but the P.S. Inspector informed me it was a possible health hazard.
