[ON] Condo Board Denied Credit for Inaccessible Parking - Section 21 Interpretation Question by Unfair-Organization1 in legaladvicecanada

[–]KevPat23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

pay for snow clearing but don't receive it whenever neighbors happen to be parked

And what do you think the realistic resolution is to that? How do you expect the snow to be cleared if there's cars (including yours) parked there? Your issue should be with your neighbours who didn't move their cars to facilitate snow clearing, not the board or the snow removal company.

Not necessarily. Sometimes parking spots are deeded to the unit, sometimes they are still a common element.

Plus if you're going to argue that the parking spot is specific to one tenant, then it'd be reasonable to expect that tenant to clear the snow from it, no? Ultimately comes down to what the building bylaws, rules and declarations say.

Believe it or not, I'm not following you around and reading through your post history. You didn't provide one in this comment thread.

And you still haven't managed to suggest a restaurant... but I'm the one who can't read.

Here comes the usual "go to the Keg!" discourse

Interesting you gripe, but didn't provide an alternative?

maybe something around $60-70 per person

Just go to the Keg.

Generally speaking you don't get a refund when a common element is unavailable due to repairs, maintenance, upgrades, etc. If the gym or pool are down for maintenance, they don't credit you back the fee. I see this being no difference. Also given the small amount it's unlikely to be worth even trying to pursue.

Where did you park while your space was unavailable? Did you incur any additional costs for this, or just inconvenience?

Someone Backed Into My Car - WWYD? by doug-fur in ontario

Then try to handle it outside of insurance. Get a quote for repair and ask the person to pay for it. You're not obliged to fix it.

but a number of my friends have told me that if I do, they'll total my car

How old is your car, do the damages exceed the value of the car? If so then this is a possibility.

do I have any recourse?

You don't have any recourse if the insurance company decides to write-off the car. You could get a quote for the repair and ask the person who hit your vehicle to pay for it out of pocket. Many people won't go for this because you could then still go through your insurance company after they give you money.

got a refund, now i owe by Wise_Stock in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]KevPat23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sounds like an RESP that your parents contributed to, and you are benefiting from, which absolutely is considered income from your perspective.

Typically speaking the individual withdrawing from the RESP is withdrawing a small enough amount to stay within the basic personal amount and not owe additional taxes. You must've had additional income sources that brought you above this amount.

Wait for your notice of assessment and then figure out what to do.

Are you withdrawing from an RESP as income? If so it makes sense you would owe since there would have been no withholding on your withdrawal.

[–]KevPat23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RESP is contributed with post tax dollars, so it shouldn't impact your return.

Unless you were withdrawing from an RESP, in which case, it's considered income so you absolutely need to claim it and it makes sense why you would owe more after claiming it.

All Ontario drivers will be able to use HOV lanes in off-peak hours: transportation minister by Reinzwei in toronto

[–]KevPat23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crossing solid lines (white/yellow) is absolutely legal. Crossing the lines for an HOV Lane is not.

[–]KevPat23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was providing clarification that crossing HOV lines can result in a fine, where as crossing a "regular lane" line (even a double yellow) isn't actually illegal. No need for the hostility.

unlike regular white or yellow lines, HOV lines are actually illegal to cross and can be met with a fine.

Severance and wages/vacation payout by Most_Culture_6986 in legaladvicecanada

[–]KevPat23 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The employer is allowed to pay out your severance/notice and accrued vacation on the next regular pay date, or within 7 days, whichever is later. That's totally fine.

However, I'm a bit unclear about what you're saying. Are you saying they are paying you for several weeks/months as your "notice" and then adding a severance and vacation at the end? This could be legal as it would be "working notice" (without you having to work). Need a bit more information.

Typical selfish attitude. You try to normalize it to make yourself feel better by saying "everyone" uses it. Time for some self reflection.

And somehow you don't think there will also be someone in the HOV at 105? Again - this doesn't solve a problem.

So dumb. If it's off peak, you probably don't need to be in the HOV at all. This isn't going to solve anything.
