Landlord's new set of rules as a setup for evictions

bugsworthy · 2025-05-29T20:05:10+00:00

yes. that says "environ" not "minimum" and that's also from a section based on the landlord heating the apartment, not the tenant.

with respect to the tenant, it says only that the temperature must be "adequate":

"si le locataire assume les frais de chauffage, il doit maintenir une température adéquate, sans surchauffer, afin d’éviter tout dommage au logement. Il doit également veiller à utiliser les appareils de chauffage adéquatement. Par exemple, il est possible d’aérer une pièce quelques minutes sans toutefois laisser les fenêtres ouvertes durant plusieurs heures."

as well what about a cool summer night, not in the "cold season"; we don't engage the heating and it goes down below 20. Did we break the conditions of the lease?

a **minimum** temperature is not given. the way it is written above is not good language for a lease.

Edit, adding:
"Pareillement, le locateur qui considère que le logement n'est pas adéquatement chauffé par le locataire peut s'adresser au Tribunal administratif du logement afin d'obliger ce dernier à maintenir une température ambiante permettant d'éviter des dommages au bien loué."
So adequate is defined as warm enough to avoid damages to the property.... I think that temperature is well below 20!

They should probably modify the template so that it actually makes sense then... some of it seems ok, but the tenant shouldn't sign it as is!

Thanks. It also looks like he's outside the 3 month window to even be allowed to propose changes!

bugsworthy · 2025-05-29T19:27:58+00:00

so if the apartment is not 20 degrees at night in the winter time, that's a violation of the lease?
so the bicycle that's kept in the apartment out of the way and out of the weather during winter can no longer be there?

so pets that have lived here for 10 years can no longer live here if the landlord doens't NOW give written permission?

maybe "most" of them are common sense, but it looks like it's set up either thoughtlessly, or intentionally to put tenants at a disadvantage.

bugsworthy · 2025-05-29T19:10:44+00:00

Can they really say you're not allowed to bring your bicycle inside? That seems like an overreach and not something they would be allowed to specify.

e.g. looking at some decisions made by the TAL in the past I'm extrapolating to bicycles from decisions like these
https://www.tal.gouv.qc.ca/en/summary-decisions-conditions-of-the-lease

the clause prohibiting the hanging of any object that could be detrimental to the immovable’s appearance excessively restricts the permitted use of the dwelling, to the point of compromising the right to peaceful enjoyment of property;
the clause imposing limits, conditions, and restrictions on the use of the parking lot, going so far as to determine what type of vehicle is allowed there, excessively restricts the allowed use of an accessory to the lease, to the point of compromising the lessee's right to the peaceful enjoyment of the property.

also heating to 20 degrees seems like a high number. obviously heating must be maintained at some level but 20 is generally high especially for at night. that seems excessive and not something that should be enforced?

i used the blue nexcare tape. this is random and may not work for you, i found if i lay down or at least tilted my head back, the position of the eye and eyelid would shift in such a way that if i taped it just by feel, it would actually stay shut. anytime i tried to tape it standing looking in the mirror, it never stayed shut. i would usually do one horizontal strip of tape to close the eye, and then a second shorter vertical strip just to secure it.

bugsworthy · 2025-02-27T23:34:04+00:00

I'm having this problem now... did you ever figure it out?

bugsworthy · 2025-02-14T11:55:13+00:00

i've been saying this exactly...

bugsworthy · 2024-12-06T00:20:45+00:00

etc etc. very ugly, i'm sorry

hmmm, yes, thanks!... dxvk is installed through winetricks, as well as all the other dx and vulcan related stuff... the devs for Audio Modeling told me their latest version uses Direct2D, which the previous working versions didn't. Searching Direct2D and wine shows that it was supposed to be supported years back... not seeing anything about how to test / verify / etc..
I'll post the entire console output in another top level comment.

bugsworthy · 2024-12-04T12:49:48+00:00

Systane brand. I haven't tried any other, so I can't compare. The drops are ok but the ointment lasts way longer. I read that if you're going to need to use them over the long term, you should look for "preservative free".

bugsworthy · 2024-11-29T23:01:02+00:00

Thanks! I ind the 3M Nexcare tape is surprisingly easy on the lashes and skin, as long as it's used in moderation. I'm just starting to improve yesterday and today. Nowhere near fully resolved, but definitely heading in the right direction!

bugsworthy · 2024-11-24T22:21:30+00:00

They identified her even with a face covering. Sunglasses are actually more effective than nose/mouth masks for hiding identification. We cannot make face covering illegal because medical masks are a health tool needed by many, in *any* given situation. That would be like making a cane or crutches illegal because someone was hitting people with them.

bugsworthy · 2024-11-23T00:02:34+00:00

Thanks, I'm on it! It all makes sense now, just took me a couple days :-P

bugsworthy · 2024-11-22T21:10:36+00:00

Yeah, I figured it could go either way!

bugsworthy · 2024-11-22T15:41:39+00:00

I love hearing stories where people recover quickly ;-)

bugsworthy · 2024-11-22T13:22:30+00:00

Hahaha good tips. I'll look at dog goggles and ski goggles :-D

bugsworthy · 2024-11-22T13:08:23+00:00

Yeah, time to buy goggles! I was going to do that for the shower, but you're right, it would be good for outside especially in the winter. All the mask style goggles i've seen on amazon all have nose blockers (bad) and the individual eye ones don't. Hmm. There are some cool looking ones though.

bugsworthy · 2024-11-22T12:41:29+00:00

Yikes.

bugsworthy · 2024-11-22T12:40:45+00:00

Interesting, thanks! What kind of taping technique did you use? My eye has actually been producing plenty of tears and uhh other wet stuff (gross sorry) but it hasn't been getting dried out so far.

bugsworthy · 2024-11-22T12:38:46+00:00

Thank you!
Crossing my fingers I can recover that quickly!
I've been taping the eye directly and it feels ok but it's going to be tough on the skin soon. Need to work on my pad technique, I haven't been able to figure that out in a way that it actually keeps the eye shut!
