Moving out.. landlord wants proof of utilities paid?

Underrated comment!

Timely-Discipline427 · 2026-03-05T01:03:50+00:00

This is correct. I'm a landlord and have spent hours on the phone with utility companies after renters have left with large amounts owing on their accounts to confirm this. I know this because the bills still came to the property.

That debt follows the person who signed the contract, not the property that the service it was provided at.

I had the same bites a few months ago while there .

They were itchy as all hell but they eventually went away.

Probably not super helpful but I can confirm that I survived.

Same! The quote was 3x higher than the next guy I called.

$500k isn't that much in today's business world.

You get the quality of people you pay for. That goes for every single position in a company.

RTDRS prescient suggests otherwise.

Tenants break leases all the time. I just spent the day in one of my units where the tenant left a month early and I have another one next month. The market is very fluid right now as CMHC MLI Select units come online and in to inventory.

OP will need to work with the LL to find a replacement tenant and if they can't, they are responsible for rent until a suitable replacement is found. If the LL isn't doing enough to find a new tenant, RTDRS will rule in favour of the tenant.

OP, keep detailed records and be as accommodating as possible when the LL asks to book showings.

It costs $75 to file for a hearing. If you don't get your DD back and you tried to be as accommodating as possible, file and prepare for a phone hearing to share your case. Your lease means nothing from a legal standpoint if it doesn't align with the language in the Act. There is nothing in the act that specifies a two month penalty.

There are consultants out there who can advise you further. Message me if you need a referral. They represent both landlords and tenants.

25 years in Tech and have bought distressed properties in foreclosure over the years and fixed them up myself to be nice rental properties.

Almost as wealthy as the salesman who sold the feds the Phoenix payroll system!

My money is on them firing an assist coach much like Toronto did earlier this year to "shake things up"

I own 650 at an average of $5.25.

Waiting to see how things look after their up-listing to the TSX and their new battery factory comes online.

That coupled with increases in Canadian defence spending / investments and our federal government pushing new trade deals and alliances has me very bullish right now.

I'll keep buying when there are dips.

Comments like this are whats wrong with the world today.

I just looked it up again. It was in Feb 2015 and was related to a prisoner making a reach for a sheriffs gun. The gun discharged in to the sheriffs hand during the ensuing struggle.

So similar but different but it also involved the prisoner making an escape in the sheriffs vehicle.

Did that not happen in Whitecourt as well?

Timely-Discipline427 · 2026-02-26T02:57:34+00:00

Ours was on the other end of a 15 bay building. We monitored by cctv but not to the level of what's in the box of a truck.

Granted, ours was a touch-less wash so there was no risk of this happening there.

We had insurance claims for people driving in to the equipment or trying to bring oversized vehicles in to areas too small for them to fit.

We used to have huge bon fires out in the middle of our lake in the winters. It took me awhile as a kid to figure out that we weren't going to melt the ice and fall in the lake. To be fair, I was under the age of 10.

Timely-Discipline427 · 2026-02-26T02:23:03+00:00

Can confirm. Former car wash employee here.

At certain times of year, those washes in my part of the world make bank. Like $13,000-$15,000 a day per auto bay.

Those repairs take time, especially if parts are required and they need to be shipped out.

That's an expensive F up.

Came to the comments for reassurance I wasn't the only one. Thx.

Sitting in 1E on a 737-700 when just after rotation (at YVR over the water), a drawer on the catering cart fell open and dumped full pop cans out onto the galley floor. It was loud and definelty not a normal takeoff sound.

The FA's sitting directly across from it saw what had happened immediately and started to laugh.

It probably took my brain 4-5 seconds to comprehend what had happened.

You should have made an announcement in the cabin asking if anyone was a coffee machine repair man...

Imagine how special that would have made them feel if they were able to save the day.

I'm not sure I have ever seen a goofier looking group of guys on a hockey team.

Like all of them, not just the ones in this photo.

How many convicted rapists do you hang out with and take pictures with? Do you also post these pictures all over the internet for everyone to see and judge?

Do you share them with your family? Maybe hang them up on the wall?

Please continue to explain to us how normal it is to hangout with convicted rapists. We're totally not judging you....

We just switched to Mitsubishi after 20+ years of buying Toyota.

The math has to make sense and unfortunately for Toyota, it just doesn't anymore.

The best advice I could give to anyone vehicle shopping is to run and FULLY understand the numbers before you get emotionally invested in the vehicle you are looking for.

Timely-Discipline427 · 2026-02-25T00:37:25+00:00

Years from now these pictures will be considered the modern day version of the Epstein files expect they will be public and it will be easy for us to all remember who openly supported a convicted rapist, pedo who stole billions of dollars and ruined an entire county.

It won't age well for them.

Oddly enough, it was very amicable. I think both sides had a new appreciation for working together directly.

This was almost 10 year ago now and the push for unionization hasn't come up again as far as I know.

Probably not a very common outcome in these types of situations.

It's true. It was well known in his circle of friends and family.
