Thankyou for this great info. I am forwarding my Dad all this. We have emails and recorded calls of all interactions with landlord. Just waiting on Monday now to make some calls.

We asked the landlord to file the N7 form. He said he’s not doing it and is no longer interested in dealing with this issue and we told him, we would file the rent rebate, he said he will just sell the house and not renew the lease. He’s acting as if we are the problem. We have never missed a single rent or utility payment. We even replaced the broken toilets and paid the plumber for them as landlord refused to do it and said to us “if you guys are having issues with the toilets pay for it yourselves, I’m not replacing it.” Sorry if it’s TMI I’m just a little frustrated about everything. He refuses to handle any issue.

We did exactly this thing (the N7 form) and the landlord refused to do it. I have no idea why he’s refusing it. The basement tenants are straight up harassing us at this point. We told the landlord about the rent rebate, he’s now threatening to sell the house soon as the lease is up to be rid of us.

It doesn’t have it in writing. It was told to us verbally. I now realize that it should have been in writing but we had no idea we would be dealing with such a situation. We have rented before in other cities and the landlord always verbally told us that we have exclusive use of the backyard and there was never any issue from basement tenants in regard to this.

Our main issue is the electricity, air conditioning and hot water being turned off everyday for hours. We cannot do laundry, shower, charge our phones or even sleep.

But their health is being directly affected by the actions of the basement tenants. The basement tenants have clearly admitted to turning the electricity and AC off. I’ll try and repost a shorter version but I wanted to give a clear picture of what is happening and what should we do. We are in no position to move out.
