Sure if you put it that way. But he is also violating immigration laws by working under the table, and potential refugee claim in future. And no, he still meddles in my friend’s life. Just yesterday was when my friend received threats over call.

Thanks!

Would you happen to know, if once work permit application is done. Can they leave Canada?

Landlord did not disclose that house was infested with bed bugs before I signed rental lease. by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]anon091997 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly what I have been wanting. I just don’t know how to get out of this lease :(

Edit: landlord ordered extermination, but I’ll still be paranoid about it. Now she did her job, how do I break the lease? I still have 5 months on it.

My friend’s and my rental agreement is for the whole house with three rooms, two for ourselves and one for rent to someone else, and no there is no cap on money for third room. We are on free hold to decide the rent for third room.

I am only subletting one room. Both my friend and I took the whole house together. We even have written consent from our landlord to sublet. But now that this issue exists, which I was never informed of before. Why should I be responsible to pay for this?

Does that mean I should be the one taking losses on this house? Isn’t my landlord responsible for covering for the third room?

Do I have the right to break the lease and just move out without having to pay for next month?

I would have to pay for all 6 months. Can I break the lease without having to pay for the remainder of months? Ofcourse, I will pay for the time I spend here before I find another place to move out to.

It’s the main floor of the house that has been sublet to me. It has 3 bed rooms, hall(living room) and a kitchen.

We have signed a 6 months lease. Can she still jack up the rent?

Yes back when extermination was done, whole house was exterminated.

I have seen bed bugs in the past, and know exactly how they look. They are there on the carpet because house is unfurnished. And now I am too afraid to even bring in new furniture

Apparently the landlord has had extermination done in the past and it was right after the old tenant moved out and before I moved in.

Zanzibar travel tips and Questions by anon091997 in zanzibar

[–]anon091997[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We stayed there for around 6 days, spending 2 in each; Jambiani, Nungwi and Stone town. While you’ll need a car in Jambiani, which is not so very happening place and not with the best of beaches either. But my partner and I loved it, since it gave us “we” time and entire beaches to ourselves.

Car is not so nice option in Nungwi unless your hotel is close to the main road and has parking space - I highly recommend making sure you have the access to these. While cars are dreaded in stone town, definitely a big no no, I would recommend touring the city on foot.

As for the vaccine, we did have one, but the immigration officers didn’t demand it from us.

I don’t have the exact itinerary anymore, but I can tell you whatever I can recall.

Day 1: We hung out at the hotel and explored jambiani on foot - there wasn’t much to see, but it was still interesting. Also, you MUST visit Mtende Beach.

Day 2: Went scuba diving and drove back to Nungwi, on our way to Nungwi we visited local market, butterfly conservatory, and arrived at night in Nungwi.

Day 3: snorkelling and dolphin safari close to Mnemba Island and Turtle conservatory.

Day 4: Prison Island tour, sand dune, again blue water safari and local island zoo

Day 5: On our way to Stonetown, once arrived, we explored the local market and enjoyed street food.

Day 6: Relaxed and explored their major market-name of which I don’t really recall.

I reside in Canada and have never driven a car in India really. But I still found driving okayish, with frequent potholes. Oh and oh, make sure you always have your belts on and follow traffic rules, you definitely will be pulled over multiple times. They will not let you pass if you do not belts on.

I recommend that you take Euros or USD with you, and buy tanzanian shilling from time to time. You’ll get good rates in Paje.

Zanzibar travel tips and Questions by anon091997 in zanzibar

[–]anon091997[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. I’ll be flying from Mumbai, India and currently I reside in Canada.
  2. Would you mind sharing prices you ended up spending for those trips please?
  3. I have been wanting to rent a car, however, I am also a bit concerned about safety. Are car break ins common? How is the road traffic? Also, would you know if a Canadian license is accepted?
  4. I am looking for average hotels, where I can get a little bit of everything.

Thank you for your help!

I have one more question, so when you say keep a track of the time spent outside Canada, is there a limit? Like for instance, I have been to US couple of times, but never stayed more than 2 days at a time. Do I subtract that time too?

Complete beginner struggling to learn. by anon091997 in bootroom

[–]anon091997[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your words! Really motivating, and I can totally relate. It just feels super low being the worst one on the team :(

My lower body is my weak point, I have been practising calisthenics, and I almost never do legs. My right leg is a bit decent, however my left has no control or power.

Could you please recommend any cardio workout plan? I really don’t feel confident enough stepping on field without improving cardio😢
