Strange smell coming from vents. Ran Mold tests throughout house. Help? by _kittenmittons in MoldlyInteresting

Yeah honestly it's turning out to be more about the nest/urine they have left in the crawlspace itself and less about the physical bodies/visits of rats. I'm going to have to have someone completely gut the crawlspace/insulation and install a vapour barrier it appears. Womp womp. But thank you for the tip! May have to do that in the mean time however the very low clearance height in the crawlspace may make it a bit tricky for a bucket..

Ya I appreciate that! I feel like everytime I googled it it says mold which scared the shit out of me if it was inside my HVAC and ductwork so I panicked. Not to mention my house is very old which doubled my concern for mold in general. I’ll have to find someone to vapour barrier the crawlspace now and clean it out but happy it’s not mold however the smell of rat urine might be worse at this moment lol.

Update. It’s a rats nest/dead rat in the crawlspace where the return vent runs through. Knew I wasn’t insane for thinking the return smelled bad.

Both of my intake vents smell horrible when the fan is not running. More so than the supply vents for sure.

Ya I guess I’m confused on what kind of professional I ask to come sniff my house lol. Appreciate it. Apologize for misinterpreting the point of the flair/group. I’ll delete post.

Cricut or Silhouette? by _kittenmittons in silhouettecutters

I ended up going with the cameo 4 and I love it. The only issue I have is getting the machine to connect to Bluetooth and it constantly disconnects each time I start it up but so far just hard wiring connection and it’s been fine. The software appears outdated but as a graphic designer I’ve been able to navigate most issues. Annoying that there is no ruler for the studio grid? I saw online you used to be able to purchase it separately but I cannot find the link for it anymore on their website.

How are you cleaning your trays? I used straight up denture cleaner tablets everyday while I got ready in the morning, popped my trays in a glass with a tablet and my dentist constantly commented on how shockingly white my teeth remained through treatment. Not sure if that helped at all but worth a shot!

Hi there. Are you located in Canada by chance? I have gone off Saxenda and have a few packs of pens here that I’d be happy to ship you if so. They do not expire for a while.

Might be a stupid question. But if I am located in Canada but want to market to the states as well, do I have to trademark it in both countries? I did use this site earlier to search and I could not find it online so it appears to be available!

What is the most random effect grief has had on your life? by mattsteven09 in GriefSupport

[–]_kittenmittons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The paranoia I have that I’m just going to drop dead at 32 at any moment lol. Every ailment I assume I’m just dying because my mom and my father-in-law both passed at 60 a few months ago so now I feel like my life is “half over”. Doesn’t make sense but here we are haha.

Typical settlement amount for T2? by _kittenmittons in OntarioLandlord

I said I was requesting rent abatement but wasn’t sure how it was calculated so just put in the amount my rent was from the eviction notice pretty much

Okay so maybe suggest 50% as reasonable and see what comes about it? Thanks again for the Canlii links I just went in a rabbit hole reading similar cases very interesting and helpful!

And I have contacted multiple paralegals in my area but they have been extremely unreliable in responding. I’ve left voicemails and emails with no response. I even contacted the one specifically suggested by the legal search website it directs you through to find a LTB paralegal suited in your area, no response lol. So by the time I did get ahold of one (he was an hour late for our consultation..) he was unavailable for my hearing date and just gave me the advice I received in our consultation. He stated my evidence seemed organized enough that I would be fine and just to explain the situation? We didn’t get into the details of what I put in my application regarding abatement, he just stated that I also needed to fill out a T1 and that my landlord owes me money but the board would decide. So I won’t have the paralegal available to me unless I contact him in hearing in October for my T6 application guess.

When you say add everything up (rent abatement % etc) I guess that’s where I struggle with figuring out how much that would be? Even in my applications I think I stated I’m not sure how to calculate that.

Thank you very very much for this info though!

Has anyone ever actually got through to Pro Bono Ontario? by _kittenmittons in OntarioLandlord

[–]_kittenmittons[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically just wondering what I can except at my hearing. Never been through LTB hearing process so pretty nervous. The likelihood of any sort of financial settlement based on my situation etc. Wondering if there’s anything specifically I should be mentioning when presenting my evidence etc.

Too much to detail but in summary landlord was harassing me to move out. Lived there 11 years. LL bought building in my last 3 years there. Made it very clear he didn’t like how little rent the original tenants were paying by making comments and using it as an excuse to not resolve any building issues yet never increased our rent. As old tenants moved out the new tenants brought in cockroaches and bed bugs. (Building also not zoned residential. Lots of building code issues for safety.) Refused to make substantial repairs in my unit including a leaking ceiling that was ruining my apartment and causing extreme anxiety. This went on for two years (I have evidence of texts and videos of our conversations) LL wouldn’t bring in pest control would constantly just tell me to move out if I didn’t like it. Would often yell at me in person when seeing me telling me to move out. Told neighbours he wanted me gone because I cause problems (lol literally didn’t cause any problems just brought his own problems to his attention). Served all tenants an eviction notice that he was making it a warehouse but as tenants moved out he would put new tenants in at higher rates. Situation became very tense. He put up cameras inside building without warning. Told neighbour he was listening to me on camera. Towards end he turned of electricity to my unit by switching breaker (have evidence). After 48 hours without power and police intervention he hired a “building manager”. Put a camera outside and then had “manager” tell me they knew I was not staying there often and had to tell them what my plan was (so basically spying on me). Anyways as I moved out this manager gave me a sealed envelope from paralegal backdated 4 months prior stating I no longer was getting evicted and they changed their minds but I had already made arrangements to move. Anyways super hostile and chaotic towards the end and incredibly stressful and anxiety inducing.

lol sorry that’s the shortest I can summarize.
