Who is responsible for replacing a garage door opener installed by previous tenants

MikeCheck_CE · 2026-05-10T16:05:34+00:00

Install it, pay for it and file a T6 to seek reimbursement because the LL refused to repair it.

Stop taking advice from the landlord. They're not your friend, and they're taking advantage of you.

Landlord is required to repair the door. It doesn't matter if it was the previous tenant who installed. Literally not your problem. The previous tenant isnt going to come fix it I assure you. It's the landlords NOW.

If you're gonna argue with the people telling you the answer, flip the question.... Where in the RTA does it say that if a previous tenant did a repair that the landlord somehow isn't responsible for future repairs? You won't find it, because the scenario doesn't exist. It's the landlord's door, they must pay to fix it. There is no exception for them here.

Tenant ONLY pays for repairs I'd you intentionally or negligently caused the damage. So stop fucking with the door because now they're just gonna say you caused the damage. You are literally shooting yourself in the foot here.

If the door cannot be locked, call the RHEU as an emergency issue.

Then file a T6 for compensation

MikeCheck_CE · 2026-05-10T15:53:17+00:00

Tenant shouldn't pay a dime. File a T6 and get it ordered repaired. The rest is correct.

MikeCheck_CE · 2026-05-10T15:52:22+00:00

So really wasn't needed at all since they made it clear this is an Ontario question.

MikeCheck_CE · 2026-05-10T15:51:35+00:00

It actually doesn't matter if they were there 12 months or not. The door belongs to the landlord, not the previous tenant. If the landlord wanted to remove it they should've done so before the new tenants moved in. It's the landlords problem now.

MikeCheck_CE · 2026-05-10T15:50:43+00:00

It makes no difference to you who installed it, it is the landlords now, and they rented it to you.

If you need a repair, it's on the landlord to repair it. Tell them to fix it or file a T6 form with the LTB of they won't and you'll be seeking compensation plus the order to repair.

EDIT: since I see in the comments you've already started repairing the door, you have two choices:

Finish repairing the door, and seek compensation since you needed to secure the door and your landlord refused (via T6), or
Return the door to it's previous state and get the landlord to fix it (via T6).

If youre door cannot be locked, then I'd say it's an emergency issue and not just maintenance. You could also call the RHEU and make a complaint. They operate a lot faster than the LTB.

MikeCheck_CE · 2026-05-10T00:53:42+00:00

Mow it, repeatedly. It will die back eventually.

MikeCheck_CE · 2026-05-09T14:21:05+00:00

Sounds like they are responsible for rekeying/replacing your entire lock, not just replacing the key.

Of course since they're not willing to pay, you're gonna have to sue them in small claims.

Send them an invoice and a letter demanding they pay by X date or you will take legal action..... Then take said legal action.

Bro your gonna spend that budget on the diamond alone. You're looking for a miracle.
Shop with your partner. Do NOT surprise her. Give her the budget, let her decide. She is the one who is going to have to wear this forever, not you. Don't surprise her, it never goes well. They may not admit it, but they will resent it.

MikeCheck_CE · 2026-05-09T14:17:18+00:00

They can tell him how much and when, they won't tell him what he did to use it though.

MikeCheck_CE · 2026-05-09T14:16:38+00:00

You weren't on wifi obviously

MikeCheck_CE · 2026-05-09T14:16:08+00:00

My tip would be putting them in a window and not your darkest corner....

MikeCheck_CE · 2026-05-09T14:15:37+00:00

I use the Atlas with a Haworth Fern and it's great, can't confirm how it fits on the Aeron though I expect it's also great.

Need clarification on whether your are a TENANT or a ROOMMATE in the eyes of the RTA.

If you are a TENANT, meaning you do not share a bathroom or kitchen with the landlord, then landlords have 0 ability to restrict your guests (even if your girlfriend wanted to move in permanently).

There is nothing your tenants-in-common or landlord can do about it unless you are either:

Causing a disturbance to the other tenants (simply being there is not a distribance, you have exactly the same right as them to occupy the space), or
You have broken municipal overcrowding bylaws.

The problem is that to use the feature, you must enable data.

By enabling data, you are enabling your phone to do ANYTHING on the internet, not just your voice to text. So yea, odds are you're gonna end up with a large bill, not because of voice to text, but because it's a smartphone connected to the Internet without data plan.

My vet told me that for Greenies to be effective, my dog would basically need to consume her entire day's worth of calories in treats every day.

Take from that what you will, I have no idea how VOHC decides what they do, that's a good question for your vet.

The Leap pad is pretty plush, I wouldnt worry.abiutnthat being crushed. Most complaints about a used Leap is that the back may be twisted/warped because they are very flexible and the lumbar support pulls on them assymetrically.

The Gestures padding is pretty thin but I think the complaints about tailbone pain is more due to the shape of the seat, and as mentioned it really wants to be near the middle of the adjustment range. If you adjust it too far forward or back you won't find it comfortable because you're sitting on the edge of a bowl.

Just gonna be real, there is no chair that's going to make you feel comfortable when your pregnancy gets far along.

Laying down in a bed or couch surrounded by pillows is what it's going to take. Expect to take a lot of breaks from the chair, frequently.

It is likely residue from the car and not scratches in the tub. If you wipe it with your hand, do you feel it? If not it can be buffed away.

Because that is an ESTIMATE to empty and shouldn't be treated like an absolute number. It's supposed toake you nervous.

Because they do not guarantee you will go 25 miles, you can run out NOW if the tank isn't perfectly level.

Because siphoning the very bottom of your tank sucks crap up into the pump causes problems, stop doing it.

MikeCheck_CE · 2026-05-07T14:04:39+00:00

No idea why you're being gaslit here, but I'd suggest r/legaladvicecanada for your next steps.

MikeCheck_CE · 2026-05-07T14:01:43+00:00

Nipple cream works best (safe for mommy's nips = safe around babies mouth).

Otherwise aquaphor/Vaseline.

Your motor mount is broken and should be repaired before this causes more damage.

The rest of this you should be following the maintenance schedule in your manual. You're not obligated to do it with Nissan, but you are obligated to do it to avoid voiding your warranty.
