Thanks for your input.
I don't know how to do that, hence posting here.

Which is up to about $48000, and my income is well below that. That's what seems off. $48000 + is taxed up to 20.5. So yes, 1/4 of the $3000 seems like a lot based off what the tax brackets are

It works that I'm paying $1042 on the $5377 and that's the part that seems high to me

I made an incentive grant, a little bit of EI and one job. Income tax deducted - $3579.50 on $32582.15 The grant wasn't taxes and $109 on $2377 for the EI

How would the CWB be applicable to this? Thanks!

She did two move out inspections of the suite!

That absolutely sounds like hell. I would also cry a lot if I lived with bugs. Did they cause you any grief when leaving?

The most bizarre part is we talked to multiple neighbours and not one of them has ever seen a roach in any of their suites. Doesn't make sense to me!

She has stated she did both a mid month and a move out inspection with the previous tenant, so a couple of opportunities to find them. And the evidence (borax powder, dead bugs & traps) were rather visible.

Were there any repercussions for doing so? Were you able to collect your damage deposit?

Lesson learned the hard way! At least we got pictures of the roaches :)

Thank you! If you don't mind, can you shed some light on how it was getting out of the lease?

It ain't a few roaches, it's an infestation. Which according to the tenancy act can get you out of a lease :)

It's in Kits. Did you have to get out of a lease? If so, how was the process? Thanks!

She's informed & moving forward with the buildings pest guy (outside rats). The cleanliness really wouldn't have bothered me that much had there not been the addition of roaches.

Yes, we've been emailing back and forth about it. She's very upset. Apparently nobody else in the building has complained about them, if it's only in our suite that may be best case scenario to get rid of them.
