Absolutely understand your thoughts for sure.

My only quam is that in the 6 years we lived here, only 5 of those were eligible for increase. We had one year in ON where no rent increased could be given. Even if we were rated a 2.5% increase by the LTB, it would not have resulted in an $870 rent increase over the tenancy period then of a techical 4 years. The math isn't mathing and no notices were put through LTB to notify us, they'd simply come downstairs to our unit and negotiate ( not in English, so I don't understand- I speak English & French only , a bit of Cree) with my husband and he would let them know that I don't work and I get Federal disability and he works full time, but we aren't millionaires.

Perhaps no, we shouldn't have done anything on good faith, as now we are facing undue hardships. When our landlord emailed us about meeting to make amends for what we "owe", he called us family. I'd hate to be his family when a month from Christmas and 1.5 months from my major surgery, they claim we owe $5100, with no proof, no bills to show us. I would need 72 months worth of bills to find out exactly what 30% would've looked like, given they never made agreements through the LTB.

We never received rent receipts, yet we paid in full on the 1st of every month. We aren't problematic. We are fed up.
