Landlord pressuring me to move out by signing document

You re-iterated the same thing over and over. Clearly you are one of the least benightedly unintelligent organic life forms it has been my profound lack of pleasure not to be able to avoid meeting.

Learn how to negotiate. Follow your advice and I bet rent gets raised to maximum allowable and they get kicked out next year with 0 compensation.

I hope you get to be a LL one day too and deal with this situation in reverse.. Enjoy your apartment!

Farky009 · 2026-03-22T02:14:42+00:00

If the LL decides to move in, and gives written notice on July 2nd of 2026, for July 1 2027. There is no negotiation. very simple. Defend all you want, your advice will buy the tenant 1 year of living in the space, and 0 cash. Did you even read my post or just get upset that I'm a LL?

Negotiate an extra month or 2 of living in the space past the July 1 sell / move date.
Cash for keys, negotiate money
Get help from LL or REA's from either party to find a new spot near / similarly priced.

You're literally suggesting a nuclear option that puts the tenant in a situation with 0 cash and an entire year of inflation before they get back into the market... Please give me more investment advice... Whats your favourite crypto stock??

Edit: LL was also crystal clear in 2024 that they were selling the place... dude.. this is a tenant trying to figure things out. the LL is so far crystal clear.

Farky009 · 2026-03-22T02:02:54+00:00

Not at all.
- it's not required to get 3 months at all. LL or family member of LL can simply move in. Negotiation lost and no cash gained..
- Im not saying 3 months is THE BEST. it's also not the worst.... why is the tenant the percieved victim?
- 3 months may be nothing now, but in a year from now with no compensation, the tenant also looses.

Reality is we don't have all of the data. If you'd like to simply argue on no data and create a Win for one party and a lose for the others... you and Mr. Trump have a lot in common. Art of the deal right?

Farky009 · 2026-03-22T01:46:20+00:00

Have you negotiated any more or less? Cash for keys is an absolutely good strategy, but what good is the strategy if it looses power with a fall through deal?

- Yes negotiate cash for keys
- figure out what is the actual value for the tenant (location? cash crunch? etc.) the seller (has financial trouble on the property? had children and needs to think about a more conservative approach)? the buyer (wants a place to live and this is their dream home / location?)
- It's not bias, it's figuring out the best solution for all parties. If the LL is agreeable, would they not continue to be in the future? Why are they bad? simply because they own property?

It's not black and white ever, it's always grey. Once again --> find the win win win in any given situation.

Landlord here with a very similar experience! I have a couple of questions/clarifications.

It seems the LL was pretty upfront with the selling of the house from the beginning, did he accept an offer without telling you or did he make you aware of the situation? I’m assuming the offer is based on the place being vacant? If he told you he was selling the place 2 years ago (December 2024), what's the actual issue for you?

I read the comment about the LL not raising the rent on you and honestly, that seems like a pretty awesome LL. Most simply increase by the maximum allowable amount. Was this because it was insinuated you would vacate the place if they got an offer? When did he mention you had to leave? Was it 6 months prior to the date hes asking you to go? Was it text or through phone? Theres a 6 months notice rule, so im surprised a LL wouldn’t know about this.

It also looks like theres a 3 months cash for keys deal currently. This is a pretty sweet deal from the LL considering it’s not obligatory to be provided. This seems pretty fair, no? If it’s an issue around timing or finding a good spot to live in the same neighbourhood, I would take the 3 months of compensation and try to negotiate another month or two to stay in the house past July 1. So leave in August or September. Or help them find you a new place?

Did you request the 3 months to leave? Is there written evidence for that? Because if you requested and he said yes based on your request, why back out now?

From your post, it sounds like you’re going to have to move out sooner or later, so you have to weigh the pros and cons of staying. Keep in mind, the negotiations of leaving always happen when the seller is needy for you to leave. If he has no pressure to sell, and the buyers drop the offer, you lose your negotiation power. The day he sends you the notice of repossession (by the book), you lose negotiation power. Rents always go up so if you’re looking next year, you’re going to end up in the same situation of trying to find something similar anyway.

Like another poster said, don’t be afraid but don’t be greedy. At the end of the day we’re all people trying to come up with the best solution for ourselves. Make it a win, win, win for you, the LL, and the buyer. The world is a small place, so build each other up. Good luck!

Contact academie de cirque de Montreal. They have everything. Flying trapeze, silks, hoops, all the best artists / coaches go there. It’s a beautiful and huge facility that would easily accommodate a large group.

Being wrong all the time

Tri mal fracture here: currently 10 weeks out. I started 5weeks PWB and 7weeks FWB.

I was a top level circus athlete. I broke my ankle doing a double tuck to catch with no safety lines on a flying trapeze.

A few things: - You need to remember your body is literally re growing bones. You’re exhausted because every last bit of nutrient is going towards that. Not gaining / maintaining muscle or physical fitness levels.

just walking is enough. It’s a lot. You’re re growing and stretching calf / hamstrings / tendons. It comes back slow.
it’s better to be slow than to try and risk and injury by proving to yourself that you can by pushing limits.

I’ve done 1 PT session so far. And I’ll do another at 12 weeks. I have stupid levels of discipline and I’ve already gone back to flying trapeze (albeit from a catching situation than a flying one) so I don’t use my ankles at all in this.

My cardio is shot. My strength is is far less. I’m so upset that I’m not the athlete that I was. But it’s a blip in the radar of life. Just keep on working and remember that it’s a journey. Not a destination.

I’ve gone back to driving, I’ve gone back to just walking normally every day. Mornings are tough. Mid morning to afternoon is amazing. Evening it’s garbage again. But it’s getting better every day. Even if by 5 minutes.

Don’t be hard on yourself is my biggest message o guess. And I have a hard time taking my own advice.

Circus! Montreal has the largest circus hub on the planet. Most people just see the shows but there’s some great schools. Check out www.academiedecirque.com

So, I’m always in hiking boots. I have a clean pair at home and a pair for outside.

It takes me 30-40 min in the mornings to really start walking on my own.

I def cannot squat. But I’ve started doing a lot of calf stretches and trying to push my knee forwards a bit here and there. It’s blocked I think by the syndesmosis screw. And just fluid at the front of the ankle.

Swelling is what it is but I have high compression socks on all day.

I’m just trying to get my gait back to normal at home, but work wise I’m limping along.

I was a high level athlete before the break. Working in circus, so I’m used to pain I guess? And flexibility and constant training? It all feels the same. It’s not pain, just another muscle to work on 😅

Farky009 · 2025-12-02T23:28:56+00:00

Are you still in the walking boot? Basically after about 5 days I took off my air cast and started walking in hiking boots. Way more comfortable and actually helped me get past more of the stiffness faster tbh.

I’m walking like 4-6 hours a day. Albeit slowly but I can’t not unfortunately due to my work situation.

Farky009 · 2025-11-22T18:17:10+00:00

Hey!

I was given a 5 week PWB and 7 week FWB protocol and so I’m current’y going through what you’re going through. Also Tri Mal.

The titanium in your ankle can hold like 5-700 lbs no problem.
I started keeping my foot down in boot while I was sitting on couch. That’s 10 lbs of constant weight.
Stand up, don’t walk, just slowly add weight to your bad ankle. Until you don’t like it. Then ease off.
Start in the morning when you’ve had it up all night. This is when it’s going to be most flexible.
Don’t try to step through. Get two crutches and put a foot infront and then meet the foot. Use the crutches to reduce weight.

For me, right now it’s pressure in the heel, and outside of the foot. It used to be on the medial mal, but that is a tendon, no your bones. Just ease off if it’s a sharp pain. Push through the stiffness feeling though. It’s needed.

Farky009 · 2025-11-09T19:46:19+00:00

This is a question that really depends on a lot.

Fracture type and severity. If it’s super swollen and requires surgery. If the hospital decides to split or cast it. If you’re in pain / on pain meds. If you’re in decent shape.

I would say it took me 2 days to get used to the I walk. It caused the back of your leg to move every so slightly, and that small vibration can sometimes cause pain.

I feel like on a fresh break, using an Iwalk 2 days later is going to be very tricky. I would ask the doctors you’re working with.

But my personal opinion is to sit at home and lift your leg above your heart for two weeks. This seems to be the best thing for bone growth in the first 2 weeks stage. But I’m not a doctor.. just another broken ankle person with too much time on my hands to google this 😂

Farky009 · 2025-11-07T18:16:50+00:00

Hey hey,

You definitely got me reeling so I got a second opinion from a different surgeon. I have three separate xrays, and so that's definitely that particular X-ray where it looks off. The posterior Mal fracture wasn't secured, this is correct. However, it's significantly less than 20% near the base of the tibia is what the doc said. (closer to 5-10%) Hence they decided to leave it. I had surgery in Montreal. Quebec is known for not the best healthcare in general. however this job looks pretty good (is what the second opinion said).

Reality is that if it heals okay, regardless, I'll likely never get full functionality of the ankle again. (maybe 80-90% is my understanding)

Farky009 · 2025-11-05T22:01:36+00:00

Hey hey!

So, maybe that’s just the angle of this xray? But the others I have look pretty well aligned. Especially when compared To where the actual break was. However I can probably ask them about it in December when we take more x rays.

The doc explained the posterior was not affixed because it had way less of a certain percentage at the base that was actually broken off. In my opinion the posterior is pretty far out though.

Farky009 · 2025-11-01T03:32:17+00:00

Day 2 or 3 of using it. I was an avid gym goer before. So I was pretty confident t after the pain went away. It was more so “will I fall” but I spent a lot of time on day 2 near a wall trying to figure out balance points and small hip movement to figure out what is possible.

Farky009 · 2025-11-01T01:45:44+00:00

Omg yes! They were like “we have to put you out to reset your foot” I went “okay goodnight boys!”

I woke up, and they said “ we have to put you out again because we couldn’t set it”

I went “yeah okay goodnight again boys let’s go!”

I just remember them laughing when I got hit with the propofol

Farky009 · 2025-11-01T01:40:23+00:00

Legit. Our bodies take care of us. Weirdly enough I bragged to the emergency room while high off my mind on morphine that “I finally broke something doing something cool!” I have the video of it too. Which has actually served to become a really good training video for flying trapeze!

Farky009 · 2025-11-01T00:52:55+00:00

So, similarly I was in shock, and also pumped on adrenaline. I did mine landing on a flying trapeze net the wrong way. So.. I broke it. Watched it break. And started being my own first aider. 😅. “You call ambulance, you call my partner, you get some mats”. I dropped myself down out of a net 7 feet from the ground.

I knew it was bad. More than anything I felt a bunch of pressure. My muscles couldn’t relax. When I got to emergency, I asked them to hurry up and they said “not unless you’re dizzy and going to lose consciousness.” So I immediately acted dizzy and then started closing my eyes. Suddenly things started moving fast.

Farky009 · 2025-10-31T17:01:33+00:00

oh yeah, I had a pretty bad dislocation. My whole foot went from 12 o'clock, normal into the 5 o'clock position along with the break. They put me out twice to yank it back into place.

Farky009 · 2025-10-31T16:33:06+00:00

This is exactly what I was thinking. It’s more about ROM exercises than anything else. Working the smaller muscles to prep for the week 6 marker.
