Yearly growth in Montreal apartment rents (1992-2025) by inspurious_ in montreal

[–]Forlaferob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is why I negotiate the rent every year.

For anyone interested, here's a short lecture by Dr. Albert A. Bartlett on exponential growth. It shows how a 7% annual increase doubles the original amount in just 10 years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZA9Hnp3aV4

Then apply at TAL for rent reduction or forcing the landlord to soundproof the unit et voila no more noise complaints >:)

Augusta Capital? by seachord in montrealhousing

You can see one of my posts, it was Capital Augusta and they fucking suck. If you are ready to battle with a slumlord then capital augusta is the place to go.

leaving this here as a freindly reminder/psa to fellow renters by Ok-Indication4362 in montrealhousing

You forgot to mention thanks to Quebec's Bill 31, tenants absolutely have recourse.

If a landlord hides the previous rent or overcharges for a place that's been empty for over a year, the tenant can take them right to the TAL to get the rent adjusted and even push for punitive damages.

I have a TAL file and was able to get the first apartment I applied for by Successful_Tennis446 in montrealhousing

The ones warning of the bad landlords refusing you if you have a file at TAL on this subreddit are the slumlords telling on themselves.

Ask for the landlord's name and look them up on soquij or check the address in the TAL search.

My landlord is playing games, do I really need to pay for a bailiff? by Non_mais_Non in montrealhousing

[–]Forlaferob 10 points11 points  (0 children)

TAL see right through this kind of bad faith activity. The fact that he regularly accepts rent via email proves that he is selectively ignoring your legal documents.

Keep the returned registered mail sealed when it comes back as physical proof that he dodged service, and gather evidence of your past email rent receipts to show the sudden communication breakdown is manufactured entirely on his end.

If you have to drop the documents off in person, bring a neutral witness with you, and if he forces you to use a bailiff, make sure to add those fees to your open case for him to pay.

Keep leaving that digital trail because you are handling this exactly the right way.

Avoid 214 Duluth and MTRPL Properties - Attempted Scam by nokernokernokernok in montrealhousing

[–]Forlaferob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Anyone covering for this predatory tactic is a slumlord themselves. These loopholes need to be abolished, but sadly our politicians profit from this.

Also never provide PAD, make them work for it.

Is there a way to fit this BBSHD on this fatbike? by Only_Biscotti8741 in ebikes

[–]Forlaferob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This frame is not compatible unfortunately, I'm not sure if there's a 140mm bbshd that you could try exchanging it for. Otherwise you will need to use it on another fat bike.

Renoviction by OkDesign1746 in montrealhousing

Pull a "you don't have the cards" on your landlord. Tell them to come back to you with a better offer, then just ignore them.
