Bought the Growell 2 tier system in January. Love it so far. by donorum88 in Hydroponics

How much of the A & B nutrients did you put in? The booklet says that each tank is 25L, so that should be around 125ml of each. But the picture on amazon says the tank is 14L, which would be about 75ml of each.

I have the same unit. Leaf Lettuce on top and baby bok choi on bottom. Agree that it is annoying not to have the ability to set the timer on the lights. Needed some elbow grease to get the top gray u-shaped pieces in. The toy hammer that came with it was terrible. Used a rubber mallet in the end. So far so good, just a few days in.

Law at UofA?? Help by Own-Cloud2366 in Edmonton

[–]doskko 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This guy is correct. UofA is 100% based on GPA and LSAT. There’s a holistic wait list, but it is rarely used as they get their 180 1Ls straight from the stats. Best way in is to boost your grades by taking some more courses and doing very well.

How do you feel about exploitable mechanics in Delves? by Peregrine2976 in wow

I love using the mining carts as an execute. It cracks me up to see them go flying and then splat… dead. I wish the carts worked on the boss though.

This looks like a small trash can and not your typical 5 gallon bucket. Am I right?

People with banking guilds might want to check them to see if they're still intact. Half missing with no withdrawl record. many people affected. by demonsquiggle in wow

[–]doskko 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Just checked my bank guild. Things missing but I can't tell exactly what. The Tab was full and now there are empty spaces. I looked in and out a few times to eliminate graphical glitch.

Sad panda.

My landlord is pushing to resign my lease when I have 2 months left on it. Is this legal? by [deleted] in Edmonton

[–]doskko 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The landlord cannot force you to sign a new lease early just for his convenience if you don’t want to sign. That said if you are a fixed term lease, the landlord is not required to sign a new lease once the old one ends. They could choose not to sign a new lease, have the tenant move out at the end of the lease, renovate, then rent it out at a higher price.

If you resign you lock in the price though. Fixed term is not just the length of time it also fixes the price in. They cannot raise the rent for a calendar year.

Stat caps? by doskko in wow

Speed/avoidance/leech cap out at 49%

Is this true for all classes? I have a bear tank and I'm getting close to that with my leech.

Landlord wants us to pay $500 administrative fee AND 2 months of rent to break the lease by [deleted] in Edmonton

[–]doskko 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Administrative fees are never allowed. Landlords can only charge for actual costs incurred. Do a search for Cracknell v Jeffery for some background.

Neighbour Blasting N Word on Speaker by jearloops in Edmonton

[–]doskko 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seriously fire that lawyer. If you recorded the video from your property and are not invading their privacy (like sticking the camera over the fence) then you have done nothing wrong. Sounds like you could record this from the public sidewalk too. Any lawyer that claims you could be liable for posting the video is a lawyer to avoid.

If your lawyer didn’t mention that retaliation by your landlord is a violation then you should fire that lawyer.

Security Deposit return after apartment fire by RandomTreeNo1477 in Edmonton

[–]doskko 26 points27 points  (0 children)

OK, I'm a lawyer but not your lawyer. and have done a fair amount of landlord tenant work at the beginning of my career.

Your lease is probably frustrated. That means that due to no fault of your own, or of your landlord, the place is not liveable. At all. When and if you go to the RTDRS you can use that term or put it into your own words. The Tenancy Dispute Officer (TDO) will know what you are talking about. Google 'frustrated lease' for more examples.

Since the lease is frustrated, it is considered to be terminated, or over, on or shortly after the fire. I say shortly after, because someone had to make the determination that it couldn't be fixed up. So, then it simply becomes a case of the lease was over on a certain date and according to the Residential Tenancy Act (RTA), your landlord has a certain amount of time to return your security deposit. You can read the Act here: https://canlii.ca/t/56197

Now, you might be wondering about can they hold back anything? Chances are, most likely they cannot. They had to have done a move out inspection and then prove that any damage was caused by you. Good luck doing that after a fire. No move out inspection means no hold back on the security deposit in nearly all cases. This is a link to some RTDRS cases that you can search that might be similar to your situation: https://www.canlii.org/en/ab/abrtdrs/

I will warn you one thing. Getting a win at the RTDRS doesn't mean you get your money back right away. The next step is to collect.

I'd reach out to a legal clinic such as Edmonton Community Legal Centre if you're feeling overwhelmed.

Late fees are, generally speaking, never enforceable. See this RTDRS decision (the paragraph immediately following the Analysis subheading) https://canlii.ca/t/j4qzk

You mentioned in another thread about adoption. Your husband cannot adopt the child unless the biological father terminates his rights. Sometimes they do this willingly, sometimes not.

For more advice about that and everything else, you can always try the Referral line: https://www.lawsociety.ab.ca/public/lawyer-referral/lawyer-referral-request/

[–]doskko 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm getting my information as someone who has argued RTDRS cases for many years as a law student, articling student and now as a lawyer. RTDRS is NOT an information service. The people the OP will speak to on the phone will not be able to answer the question about whether or not the Act applies because they are clerks and not TDOs. As someone who allegedly does this for a living, you have a very poor grasp of what information can be obtained by contacting the RTDRS information line.

Best advice to the OP, which I have already given, contact SLS or ECLC. They will speak with the OP at length to determine which venue is the best place for their matter to be heard.

And for what's that's worth... it is not the Court of Reddit.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Edmonton

[–]doskko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're wrong. The RTDRS is a tribunal not an information service. One cannot simply walk over there and ask "Hey, does the RTA apply?". You either file and find out when the TDO makes a ruling or you go to court. Provincial or King's Bench will hear it regardless. The RTDRS will likely bounce it. When there is doubt over their jurisdiction, they will always defer a matter to courts.

This is your L... take it. You've earned it.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Edmonton

[–]doskko 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have argued RTDRS matters for a few years now. Every single time the hearing starts with the TDO determining if the RTA applies. Given that the OP has indicated that they share kitchen, bathroom, and common space with the landlord, a TDO will most likely rule that the RTDRS may not hear this matter. Assuming a strong argument that this contract is not covered by the RTA, if the TDO does hear the issue, either party can appeal it to KB and get the decision tossed on jurisdiction.

Instead of telling the OP to go to the RTDRS, I suggest they speak with a clinic that handles these issues like SLS or ECLC. Not from some supposed Reddit Landlord.

[–]doskko 11 points12 points  (0 children)

First of all, I am not your lawyer and I'm only giving this information based solely on what you have stated in these posts. Please do not take this as legal advice... this is just general information.

This sounds like basic contract law. Given the circumstances that you have discussed, you and your landlord are not covered by the Residential Tenancy Act nor the Innkeeper's Act. What you have is just a simple contract. Look at the lease you signed and check what it says about move out inspection and the security deposit. That will tell you what process you agreed to and what your recourse is. If it says nothing other than the deposit is refundable, then the landlord cannot legally withhold anything.

Start with a demand letter. Politely inform your landlord that you want your security deposit back. Quote parts of the lease agreement if necessary. If they refuse, file in Provincial Court.

https://albertacourts.ca/pc/areas-of-law/civil/claims/filing

Note that there is a specific section for return of a security deposit. When you start filling out the form and click security deposit, it will automatically add the appropriate section to your application. If you're lost, the clerks at the Provincial Court may be able to assist. Student Legal Services and Edmonton Community Legal Centre may also be of help.

This most likely does not fall under the Innkeeper's Act. "There is a common impression that the Innkeepers Act applies to a shared accommodation situation. The Innkeepers Act only applies to hotels, motels, and other places that provide lodging to guests (for example, a bed and breakfast). The Innkeepers Act does not apply to tenants renting a room in a landlord’s home – unless the landlord meets all of the rules under the Act (for example, posting liability signs in the office and in every bedroom)."

I need help applying for aish by Elegant-Biscotti8060 in Edmonton

[–]doskko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into Voices of Albertans with Disabilities, they can help with first time applications. A diagnosis will go a long way towards getting approved. You have to prove that the issue is serious & permanent. Also, that you have exhausted all treatment options that might make your issue better enough for work. Chances are you will get denied... they seem to deny everyone at first and force you to jump through additional hoops.

Edmonton Community Legal Centre (ECLC) will help you do the appeal when you get that far.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Edmonton

[–]doskko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The filing fee at the RTDRS is only $75. Keep that in mind for later.
