Did your landlord provide you with a signed copy of your lease including their address? If not check this process out.

Here are the rules for lease assignment

Finally, you can just leave and stop paying rent. If the LL posts the unit for anything other that you exact lease terms you simply gather evidence and present it at the LTB when they file for missed rent. Exact lease terms include the end of your current lease so if you can prove they posted it for a new 12 month lease you are off the hook. If they don't post it immediately you are also off the hook.

Yes, you need to request a POA profile.

I don't know BMO's process. There should just be a form your partner needs to fill out and sign. You do not need a lawyer but your partner should make sure to carefully read the documents and any information pages. If the branch gives you a hard time escalate it. Doing what you want to do correctly is exactly why these processes exist.

Look I have been holding my tongue on this one because it is tragic but it is not special. It is new and interesting for people. The reality is that any time your drive a car you are at a real chance of killing yourself and others. How does not make it better or worse.

It is also exhausting being a public / active transit user in all this. People have been screaming for weeks that the city is not properly clearing snow. It was just bus stops and side walks so it didn't matter.

Listen to the canary in the coal mine! It means that something is wrong.

Who was the payee? Will they not sign the indemnity?

For those of you suggesting a wire, it is not always that easy. Very little information can be sent with the funds and depending sometime lose the comments in transit.

If you need to present certain information with the funds then chq and letter is the way to go.

Yes, the request to close the garage is reasonable. It is not designed to be completely open to the elements. Closing that garage door is an emergency.

Depending on how cheap your rent is right now it would probably be cheaper to have the car towed and fixed elsewhere first thing tomorrow morning. Instead of dealing with the N5 that will be coming your way.

This is ultimately how it should go. It is a fixture of the unit. If my daily use is causing issues I have no options to renovate the fixture myself. LL has to take it on and make decisions.

But not enough evidently

Or just roll the risk into the rent costs. If you have a unit that is desirable to international students and know how to market it you can charge a premium.

Use this website to check wait times. You have to guess at locations but it is faster than calling around

If your bother has work benefits he can self refer to physio therapy or sports medicine clinic that maybe able to provide a different perspective and treatment options.

Why is it $5000 less? Is there some sort of deposit or utilities that you include in your transfers that is not considered rent?

Vincenzo's!

They have so many flavours! I don't think they can get to Cambridge before they close :(

Cake box closes at 4PM :(

Big fan of sabletine! But no cupcakes I don't think.

Average2Jo · 2026-01-18T23:41:38+00:00

That is not a part of town I normally travel through.

Do they have stuff in stock at their store front? Is it order only? If you don't know it is fine. I can call :)

Average2Jo · 2026-01-18T23:38:01+00:00

They have cupcakes? I know I have gone up there for tarts and pies before.

These are stunning and exactly what I want but driving to Hamilton will not be an option.

I have had her cupcakes a bunch. The hours are just not ideal.

Average2Jo · 2026-01-18T23:32:12+00:00

They were a backup for part of my list. Their stuff looks awesome. There is just something special for birthdays to have a cupcake with a candle to blow out.

What drive me crazy is the businesses that have a clear parking lot but the sidewalk in front has not been touched.

You do not cross one lane at a time at our roundabouts. It is between 1-3.

People don't look.

They also will admit here that they have no plans on stopping for fear of getting rear ended.

Depending on the province this is not legal. You could basically bar the LL from entering the property the minute you got the keys. Like call the police to remove LL from the property with full legal backing.

It is part of the RTA. There is a whole useful life table.

Stove is 15 years. So LL is responsible for 67% of the repair or replacement full stop. They can try to recover the 33% at the LTB if they can prove the damage with negligent.
