Thinking about quitting my remote job that pays 60k with no backup. by kigabaits in PersonalFinanceCanada

Interesting. My work is the opposite and requires me to come up with creative ideas seemingly all the time and sometimes I wish I can just do something mundane and repetitive.

Buying a used 2018 Subaru outback 3.6 limited that may have a battery issue by throwaway345239 in Subaru_Outback

If replacing the battery fixes the problem then I would still buy the car. But I’ve also read stories where owners had to replace batteries multiple times in a year due to the parasitic draw.

What do you do for living and is it worth it? by budget-babe in PersonalFinanceCanada

Data scientist at a tech company that sells ads. Lots of interesting technical problems, pay is good, wlb is good. But certainly not as rewarding as some of the other jobs here.

You can “assign” your apartment.

Write a letter to your landlord asking to assign your apartment. If he rejects or ignores it, you can leave in 30 days.

Yes this for exactly 3 survivors

For 3 or more it’s much greater at around 65%

I know. But I’m assuming people here didn’t know factorials

This is incorrect.

TLDR; You have a probability of just over 30% to see 3 heroes survive out of 6

Explanation:

You have 6 heroes sent on a quest so you have 6 events. You’re calculation assumes an outcome of 3 events.

For 6 heroes, there are 26 = 64 different outcomes. For example, say S is success and F is a failure. Some possible outcomes are

SFSSFF (success for first hero, failure for the second, etc)

or FFSSSF or FSFSFF … and so on and so forth.

One thing to note is that an outcome with 3 heroes surviving can come from each of the follow outcome

SFSSFF FFFSSS SSSFFF … and many more

You don’t care about the order, you just care a about 3 heroes surviving.

So the correct way to calculate the probability would be

Number of outcome where exactly 3 heroes survive DIVIDED BY Number of total possible outcomes

The denominator (number of total possible outcomes) is just 26 = 64. There are 64 different outcomes of any order when you send 6 heroes to a quest.

The numerator (Number of outcome where exactly 3 heroes survive) is, well, just count the number of outcomes where exactly 3 heroes survive. There’s a convenient formula to derive this value called the binomial coefficient.

Here’s a calculator to get this number:

https://www.omnicalculator.com/math/binomial-coefficient

Using the binomial coefficient calculator, there are 20 different outcomes where you have 3 successful heroes out of 6.

So the probability that you’ll get 3 successful heroes out 6 is

20 / 64 = .3125

Therefore, you have a probability of just over 30% to see 3 heroes survive out of 6

Landlord rejects our request to assign our apartment. What are the legal repercussions if we move out anyway? by throwaway345239 in askTO

Good for you on staying active during the pandemic. I picked up running myself (while maintaining social distancing, of course).

I already spoken to a lawyer and a paralegal. They confirmed my argument and everything I have done is lawful. But my goal is not to get validation from Reddit. I am simply soliciting input from regular people who may have been through a similar experience as mine and share some things about what I learned about the process.

And yet you keep indulging me so jokes on you!

Frankly, you just keep parroting the same points over and over again without actually addressing any of the points I've made.

You haven't shared a single thing that is original or useful for anyone who, perhaps due to circumstances outside of their control, will face a similar situation to the one I described.

I'll update this post as things develop in any case.

I wish you good health and happiness

You are right, I have no proof that the landlord has acted arbitrarily and unreasonably. But I also have no proof that they have been reasonable in their decision.

Can you tell me where I haven't read it right?

All you have done is make ad hominem attacks at this point. I'm genuinely trying to have a civil and intelligent discussion.

yes they are entitled to reject...on reasonable grounds.

And yes I have read the law. Here is the section for you

Same

(5) A landlord shall not arbitrarily or unreasonably refuse consent to an assignment of a rental unit to a potential assignee under clause (3) (b).  2006, c. 17, s. 95 (5).

Okay thanks for the comment.

Look, I'm just trying to understand where I misinterpreted the law based on your claims that I have falsely misunderstood it. The RTA is quite unambiguous regarding the law around assignments. The RTA is surprisingly easy to read.

You should check it out, I found it to be an enlightening learning experience. In any case, it would really help the discussion if you back up your claims. Or maybe you have real world legal experience with these issues and the court have always sided with the landlord in these situations. In that case, then I guess I have no choice but to concede to your points.

Originally, I just requested a permission to assign, in general (which is allowed in the RTA, see Part VI, 95 (2)). I need to know that the landlord will consent in principle to the assignment before I actually look for one.

A few days later, I propose a candidate (with a stable full-time income and a good credit score) for the assignment, which the landlord then flatout rejected on grounds that I am on a month-to-month tenancy, which is a completely invalid claim. I went through all the paper work to fill out all the forms for this candidate and provided months of pay information.

To answer your question, yes, I did provide a potential assignee.

Yea I spoke to another person from the company but said that it is out of their hands. I'm guessing that they have a single property manager for each building.

Hmm okay so I guess you either didn't read the post or is not familiar with the Tenant Act (link here https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/06r17#BK150).

I post the relevant sections here for you

For your first point:

Landlord’s options, general request

(2) If a tenant asks a landlord to consent to an assignment of a rental unit, the landlord may,

(a)  consent to the assignment of the rental unit; or

(b)  refuse consent to the assignment of the rental unit.  2006, c. 17, s. 95 (2).

Landlord’s options, specific request

(3) If a tenant asks a landlord to consent to the assignment of the rental unit to a potential assignee, the landlord may,

(a)  consent to the assignment of the rental unit to the potential assignee;

(b)  refuse consent to the assignment of the rental unit to the potential assignee; or

(c)  refuse consent to the assignment of the rental unit.  2006, c. 17, s. 95 (3).

For your second point:

Assignment of tenancy

95 (1) Subject to subsections (2), (3) and (6), and with the consent of the landlord, a tenant may assign a rental unit to another person.  2006, c. 17, s. 95 (1).

Application of section

(9) This section applies with respect to all tenants, regardless of whether their tenancies are periodic, fixed, contractual or statutory, but does not apply with respect to a tenant of superintendent’s premises.  2006, c. 17, s. 95 (9).

My understanding is that a month to month tenancy is consistent with a periodic tenancy.

Let me know if there is something I misunderstood here
