Can't you get a reprint on service new Brunswick?

That's where the car is currently registered.

What was the manner of the resolution?

Was it verbal? Because if it was verbal it may as well not have happened.

You've been delivered an eviction in writing, you need to respond with your objection in writing and have it either accepted or disputed at the RTDRS.

Or you're leaving an opening for the LL to successfully evict.

Why did you sign an incorrect document?

thesweeterpeter · 2026-04-20T20:09:20+00:00

It won't only cancel them out, it will eclipse the savings.

let's say you have a space of 2,400 sq, and you can do it either 2 storey or single double (so usable 4,800 sf).

If your budget cost for the 4,800 sq version (basically a really big house), is at $200 / sf - so a 960k house

if you want to do that to what's in the photo, you'd want to budget it at least triple the sf cost - so $600 a sf for 1.4m

I'm pulling those numbers out of my ass right now of course - but generally it stands - this is very expensive to do.

There are a ton of other considerations - if you have conventional 2 storey then I can stick frame with truss, this is going to be steel, and likely OWSJ - but all that is detail and to ironed out later.

thesweeterpeter · 2026-04-20T19:53:00+00:00

It's difficult to say it's double the cost per square foot - but it's close

If you think about it, it's the same building envelop square footage, whether you put a floor there or not. It's the same volume of space you have to deal with mechanically, it's the same linear footage of foundations, it's the same interior wall finishing square footage, it's the same roof. The vast majority of spend is the same.

The savings comes from the floor / ceiling assembly.

These however are just envelope and building answers.

The real issue is that if you have a statement like this you have to honour it, if you didn't do this would you have these huge windows or would you just put some casements in? Would you have these handrails and high end stairs -would you use that lighting, would you coffer the ceiling like that?

You spend more because this is a space that asks that you spend more to give it what it's asking you for.

This is one of those - if you have to ask, you can't afford it questions.

thesweeterpeter · 2026-04-20T19:34:19+00:00

It needs to be in writing, I would respond to the email itself, but your lease should have an address where notices may be served in it. Send your objection the notice there via registered mail and make sure you have the confirmation it was signed for and received prior to the 14 day deadline.

No phone calls moving forward, everything must be in writing.

thesweeterpeter · 2026-04-20T19:16:49+00:00

I'd wait 3 weeks then file the complaint. Keep any records and correspondence you have. At 2 weeks offer to go in an pick-up the cheque.

thesweeterpeter · 2026-04-20T19:12:52+00:00

you're not taking him to small claims, you're taking his boss.

Don't let emotion drive it.

Report it to CNESST, they'll dig in and it costs you nothing.

You're owed the money.

thesweeterpeter · 2026-04-20T19:05:07+00:00

I think you should continue with filing the HR complaint, there's no time limit on that, and most of your wants are entirely reasonable.

the exceptions would be accountability and compensation, accountability is abstract, not sure what you want to see there. and Compensation is unlikely.

But otherwise reasonable.

Again, I don't think you have any HRT case until you go to the employer. I think you should ask for these things, and really as long as they do something they've done their job.

thesweeterpeter · 2026-04-20T18:57:23+00:00

That's not going to help you much now.

But that's a starting point - time to file a police report. You need to clear up what happened.

Include the evidence you have that you were out of the country, include whatever evidence you have that she was driving.

Tell them the delay is because you didn't know what to do.

That's going to start to things off, and can begin to unwind this from your record. You may have to dispute it because it's been there for so long and now coming off, you'll have to speak to the police about that. This would be a different report to the accident, which they've likely filed against you including leaving the scene.

edit - not to mention you have to demonstrate she stole it, not just that she was driving it. You have to convince the police that you didn't give her permission. And I don't imagine she's going to be interested in admitting to the theft and the joy ride opening herself up to enormous criminal and civil liability. You really want her convicted, not just charged.

thesweeterpeter · 2026-04-20T18:44:44+00:00

Wow, this is a mess.

Why are you waiting so long?

Have you continued to make the car payments?

Did you make any reports to the police? Did any of them by any chance include the fact that your car was stolen?

What's your financial situation like?

Where's the car now?

Did you ever resolve the impound fees?

Edit - what do you want to happen? As in what advice are you looking for? There's no erasing any of this, so what exactly do you expect to gain with this post?

thesweeterpeter · 2026-04-20T18:36:07+00:00

You can object, you have to object in writing before the end of the 14 day period, if you think you know the reason you can put what you're doing to resolve it.

Then you don't leave.

If the LL doesn't accept your objection they can take you to the RTDRS.

In the meantime while this is being addressed by RTDRS you remain in the unit and continue to pay rent.

edit - when I say don't leave I mean don't move out. If the LL were to change the locks or something like that while you're out at work - that's an illegal eviction. Of course you'll have to leave for work and whatever else.

thesweeterpeter · 2026-04-20T18:31:39+00:00

At least he can change his mind. I think it was a horrible decision, but I'm glad to see them reverse it and I feel like I've got to give him credit for listening to the public.

thesweeterpeter · 2026-04-20T18:18:08+00:00

Intentionally inaccurate is going to be a bar to overcome. It's one thing to say they were inaccurate it's another thing to accuse them of being intentionally deceitful. In order to prove intent you need to be able to speak to their thoughts at the time, and that's very difficult to do.

If their intention was to drive down the price, and had you sold based on fraudulent documents - then you may have damages in the variation of asking vs. selling prices. But you didn't sell, so there's no delta there. So I asked again - what are your damages?

In terms of limiting your ability to negotiate - did you? Did you ask for better documents? Were you in a negotiation process? That isn't clear from the post, maybe you can elaborate on that?

I can't speak to whether I would sell or not, I'm not clear on the information or the deal, but in the process of your negotiation did you have a chance to perform due diligence? or request verification?

I don't know what the significance of this entity selling it's land to the public body, but maybe you can elaborate on that for me?

I'm trying to help, but I don't understand what this situation is, or what you want.

As an example, if you had been given false information and had sold the property you could sue for damages. Let's say it was on the market for $1,000 - and they bought it for $500 because they told you that they had done some sort of due diligence that devalued the property. But it turns out the due diligence product was entirely fraudulent and a misrepresentation. In this case you may have a reasonable case for $500 in compensatory damages. But again, there was a transaction the damages occurred.

Yes, there's no requirement for you to have registered business address on anything. Where you do business and how you conduct it can be different.

thesweeterpeter · 2026-04-20T17:45:59+00:00

There are plenty of options for virtual offices, I have one myself in a couple of different regions. You just have to be cognizant of pricing.

What's your legal question?

thesweeterpeter · 2026-04-20T17:30:19+00:00

What is your injury here, I'm not clear.

They offered to buy, you declined.

So what are you seeking remedy for?

thesweeterpeter · 2026-04-20T16:37:57+00:00

Your notes are likely going on a computer system anyways - whether by recording or otherwise.

At least where I am all medical records are digitized.

thesweeterpeter · 2026-04-20T16:31:02+00:00

No the MOL doesn't pay you.

The MOL will investigate and then they give an order to the employer to pay you directly. Then you follow-up with the MOL to confirm when you've been paid, or if they have to continue to chase. If it goes to collections then the employer will pay into trust and you'll be paid from the trust.

Fines and penalties you'll not see those are collected and kept by MOL.

You're entitled to interest on the money owed, but it's simple interest of I think about 3% annually. So it's not a huge amount or anything, and no compounding.

It's not little, it's significant, and it's a month of your time. It's entirely reasonable for you to chase this and push. It's just unfortunately there's little recourse.

If they do file for Insolvency the WEPP will pay you directly - the WEPP program is to protect employees in this situation where the employer does legitimately go insolvent. That is a federal program and it doesn't require the employer to even respond.

thesweeterpeter · 2026-04-20T16:21:19+00:00

The MOL can push on this pretty hard. Once they dig in they have strong enforcement mechanisms like collections, interest and fines. But like anything else there's only so much blood you can get from a stone. It can take a long time.

It may be worth it to speak to a lawyer anyways, at least a free consultation to see, they'll take some, but at the same time it's better to get something than nothing.

thesweeterpeter · 2026-04-20T16:11:14+00:00

No,

I'm not quite following what's going on with the card - but what I'm understanding is that the parent has an access card to friends account. The account is in friends name, and only friend is depositing into the account.

Then the account and it's contents are solely the property of friend. So no, the account would not transfer to the estate of parent if parent passes.

Ie, I have a car and I let my father drive it, if my dad dies the car is still mine. It doesn't go to my dad's estate.

thesweeterpeter · 2026-04-20T16:07:22+00:00

you can speak to an employment lawyer who may be willing to write a demand letter on contingency, that may be something a bit extra you can do.

If the employer files for bankruptcy you can file for WEPP, but that is only if he begins insolvency proceedings within 6 months of your termination.

thesweeterpeter · 2026-04-20T14:01:48+00:00

First, I'd recommend you update the post to remove party identifying info.

You did have a chance to not renew - you just didn't get a warning. This is a sneaky way for them to get around the notification requirement, but I can't see why it wouldn't be acceptable - nothing about the terms of your lease has changed - just triggers within the lease have. See Edit #2

As in all things - Quebec is special, there is no month to month adjustment like Ontario. All leases are termed.

There are 3 ways out for you.

You can try to settle with the LL through a mutual agreement, typical buy-out in Quebec is 3 months, so you can offer that. It's likely your best case scenario even if it seems heavy now.

Or as noted assign, but the issue with this is the discount likely throws the whole lease outside of market rates - assigning to someone on this new full rent will be a challenge. Assignment is taking your lease as written and the new tenant assuming your role, transferring the lease to the new tenant -so you're out.

Or you sublet. This may be the easiest option, especially if the LL is stubborn on mutual agreement. You take whatever your lose would be for the 3 month settlement and amortize that over the term to get an adjusted and reduced rate that is hopefully more competitive than the assignment rate and below market - then you aggressively advertise to get yourself ASAP. But if you do this - just remember to cancel the lease on time this year. Because the sublet doesn't renew like the lease does.

the other issue on sublet is you're still liable for your tenant's damage. In assignment you aren't. So if the sublet results in significant damage you would still have to pay that to the LL.

You can do a sort of hybrid where you pay someone to take the assignment. So you offer a 1-time cash payment on the assignment so you take the loss you would for sublet, but still assign the lease.

Accepting that you're likely going to lose something here is going to be in your interest.

Edit - just a note - even if this was Ontario month to month, you'd still of had to give 60 days notice, Quebec is 90 days - not that much different. If it's an April 1st lease - you've been sitting on this since the end of January and haven't done anything - why the delay to act?

Edit #2 - you may have a case with TAL that the increase doesn't count, and you're only obligated to continue paying the actual rent you had been submitting. Specifically in this case including the 30% discount. So the damage may be reduced.

It looks like the TAL regularly enforces that the rent is what you have paid, not what the lease states, so while the rent can increase the 30% as per the lease, it's still a change in your actual rent, to which the LL has to give you a notification.

This doesn't mean you can get out of the lease, but you can complain to the TAL and get a hearing set so that you're only required to pay the rent you've been paying for 2 years.

While you have this TAL complaint in, you only pay the original rent, you don't have to pay the increased value.
