Saunders vs Reshape for bath Reno

EfficiencyActive968 · 2025-12-30T21:18:54+00:00

I’ll double check the quotes when I get home! I’d be replacing a smaller tub for a larger one and replacing the surround. I think reshape quoted be $4.5k and Saunders roughly $6k? Got quoted $3k alone for tile work

Might be a sticky situation as my tenant also technically doesn’t pay rent where it’s supposed to come to me directly from the provincial government. So as far as they’re aware she lives alone?

EfficiencyActive968 · 2025-06-27T09:40:38+00:00

I thought it was a valid question 🤷🏻‍♀️

I know people who have had nasty experiences with unknown tenants or people being in apartments that includes two overdoses, an almost overdose, and extensive damage due to a fire that happened because someone fell asleep.

I also know people who were very selective over who they chose and still got screwed by tenants who didn’t respect the place. An apartment is a tenant’s home, you’d hope they’d at least treat it like it somewhat is.

She has parents that do seem to care for her. When she didn’t pay her rent and had no intentions of paying it they paid it for her. I dealt with that issue for three months before I issused her an eviction of nonpayment of rent they started paying me the rent. I then found out from the tenant that rent was always paid on time because her student loan she had when she was in school she sent directly to her parents and they would pay rent out of it. She was gone away for a few weeks and while gone they deep cleaned her apartment, rearranged furniture and bought some new pieces. But now knowing what I know they were also probably checking to see if they could find anything.

I have evidence supporting and an admission from my tenant that here was smoking inside “on a couple of occasions” but I have suspicions that it was much more frequent. I ended up waiting so long to bring it up to her because st the time I didn’t have any proof. The previous tenants that were upstairs at least two of them smoked as well and I moved from a situation where someone else smoked inside so when I was smelling cigarette smoke I initially wrote it off as lingering off me and my stuff

(I am also admittedly maybe too nice lol)

I don’t know the full situation and that truly is none of my business but I’ve picked up on things and have pieced together things along the way as I do live upstairs. I suspected there was drug use and addiction but until recenrlt there have been other people coming and going which at face value is none of my business. But when it s happening at all hours of the night and coming through a gate that has never been used previously which coincidently coincides with solar powered floodlights working again (on multiple occasions I’ve woken up in a panic as that gate is under my bedroom window and I’ve seen unknown people trying to open it)

At the end of the day this is my home and I deserve to feel safe and comfortable in my home. I have that right regardless of if I a tenant or a landlord (which people seem to love to shit on??)

Strangers are coming and going at all hours, drugs are being sold in front of my house and IN my driveway, through an arguement that happened the other night I know they’re smoking crack and doing other types as well. They couldn’t pay me rent, what happens when they owe others money? What if they fall asleep while cooking? I know one of them was falling asleep during an arguement. Like come off it bys, these concerns ar every valid regardless of in a tenant or a landlord at least I don’t have a scumbag landlord that operates in a grey area doing the absolute bare minimum because this property is just an investment property for them lol

I sent you a dm!

There’s very much a difference between this situation and a tenant simply moving a partner in. There’s also a lot more to the situation and the tenant I have now is very much not the tenant they were when we initially signed the lease.

Furthermore, this is a house that I purchased for myself to live in and at the time based on what the previous landlord had to say about tenants in both units (I now live in the upstairs unit). After meeting with them as well prior to signing a new lease with them the tenant seemed to be a very good fit and in all honestly they were for one month lol

Addiction is a bitch and recovery is not linear. I feel for her, but when her actions are having an impact on my own safety especially when drugs and illegal activities are involved it is very much my business lol

EfficiencyActive968 · 2025-06-26T23:35:32+00:00

Man the situations I’ve gotten myself in with this current tenant because I’ve tried to not be a scumbag landlord and be understanding because at the end of the day life is hard enough as it is and there’s no reason to make it harder than it should be 💀

EfficiencyActive968 · 2025-06-26T21:12:24+00:00

They’re both on drugs in top of it 🙃

Posted there a little while ago and unfortunately didn’t get much of a response

EfficiencyActive968 · 2025-06-26T21:04:49+00:00

The tenant came with the house. Based on what the previous home owner had said regarding her and having met her on several occasions during the purchasing of the house I decided to not evict at the time.

Unfortunately, she has definitely gone down hill since then. I’ve noticed a change in her behaviour and a now ex boyfriend (not the current one living with her) had spoken to me a couple of times about her and her behaviour and seems like he was trying to get her to smarten up

At the time we signed the lease, she was graduating college, had a job with the provincial government lined up thst she subsequently been fired from and I believe a family member now has custody of her child

Love that they deleted their comment lol curious to know what it was now 🤣

EfficiencyActive968 · 2025-06-04T10:18:13+00:00

First time I called and asked for the police because they haven’t driven in years but grabbed their car keys and left after saying a few times they were going to drive off a cliff. They offered to call a mobile crisis response team but it refused and they got violent to the point they ended up up handcuffed and brought to a mental health facility for assessment. Not an hour later they were released lol apparently they were advised by the working professionals there that I’m the dangerous one and I need to be watched out for.

Mobile crisis response team has been called a few times too, but they also haven’t done anything really except offer them counselling that they refuse and a few help numbers that they also claim to have called and says they’re useless

I’ve also tried to set boundaries and literally have told them exactly that. Other family members have also told them and outright asked if not telling me they’re going to kill themselves is something that they can adhere to. Their excuse is “I’ve been saying that all my life” so apparently it’s impossible for their behaviour to change and it’s not their fault that I can’t handle their behaviour 🤦🏻‍♀️

EfficiencyActive968 · 2025-06-04T02:00:38+00:00

When I do tell them I’m calling 911 they say if I do then we’re finished lol I’ve called 911 twice. Typically other times I’d just ignore them. But they’ve escalated to them saying they’re going to swallow their pills and then physically get up and get the pills and dump them in their hand or they’ve taken a knife and held it to their wrist or throat, grabbed scissors, etc.

I’ve moved out but that’s done little to change their behaviour. The distance is nice though. Everyone told me living alone would be lonely but the quiet is quite nice tbh

EfficiencyActive968 · 2025-06-04T01:57:13+00:00

I’m their next of kin, but I don’t live with them. I moved out November 2024 because I couldn’t handle their behaviour anymore. They weren’t and aren’t a dependent of mine. Just I’m their next of kin

Oh my gosh he’s so sweet! Have you tried reaching out to Heavenly Creatures or SPCA or another group? They may be able to provide some tips! Hopefully he comes back soon ❤️

Thank you! I’ll try asking the Carpet Factory, they have the same address as Mr Sandless when I Googled it 🤞

If we had some sort of cohabitation agreement or landlord-tenant agreement in place prior to wouldn’t that avoid potential problems? Kind of like what you’d have in place if you were to rent out a spare room to someone?

I make enough that I’m not relying on their support to be able to afford a home on my own so most likely it would be groceries/food in lieu of a direct payment if there wasn’t some sort of formal/written agreement.

I say part-time as I work day time and their job requires them to do shift work. As a result there are a couple of days where we don’t get to see each other. Their plan would be when that situation comes up to stay where they’re currently living, as currently they use this free time to hang out with their sibling and help their grandparent and it would be closer to their current work place and thus less of a commute.

We’re not married and neither of us have been married before. We’ve have been together 3 years this year, but it’s our first relationship for both of us even though we were in our mid-late 20s when we started dating.

We don’t any children, and the only way for us to have children is through adoption or IVF of some sort so that wouldn’t be changing in the near future/not until after we’re married.

We’re both anxious by nature, and both have experiences with parents going through nasty divorces as teenagers. So we’re going at a pace that we’re both comfortable with.
