You can either send the letter to building management by registered mail or deliver it by hand. If you deliver it by hand you must ensure that Ms. Mizrachi signs the letter properly and legibly and then you need to retain the signed copied. You supply her with another copy, so make sure to print and bring two copies with you.
If Ms. Mizrachi refuses to compensate you by reducing your next month's rent, then you will be forced to file a complaint at the rental board.
This blog is intended to allow residents to make their opinions known about the upkeep of the building and grounds.

Graffiti in the Elevator
Some dimwit provided us with some amateur art in one of the elevators this weekend. Time to install security cameras in the elevators.
Monday Morning 6AM NO HOT WATER!
It's Monday morning and there is NO HOT WATER. That means going to work without a shower and without shaving. Absolutely UNACCEPTABLE! It is time to move!

No Water... Again!
COLD WATER CAME BACK AT 11:25 SUNDAY 21 NOV.
And once again... today Saturday November 20th 2010 at around 4 p.m. the water in the building just vanished. Was Harry Potter in town promoting his new movie which coincidentally started to appear today in cinemas? Nope, not likely. But at this writing (6 p.m.) there is still no water and so there will also be no supper. The only positive thing about this is that I won't have to do the dishes.
I guess the Marina Center is participating in an economic program to support our local restaurants. Just remember to keep your receipts so you can claim it back from building management from your next rent check.
But seriously, this is a regular occurrence and is very inconveniencing especially on weekends. In the past notice has occasionally been given by posting a written paper at the elevators either the day of the water shutdown or maybe a day before. Short notice maybe, but at least we got notice.

Parking Problems
This past week three tenants were inconvenienced by a garbage container in their parking spots. Despite the fact that these tenants are paying a monthly fee to use the parking spots, building management just permitted someone to dump a garbage container in their parking spots. For three days, these tenants were not able to park in their own paid spots. Lack of respect on the part of building management? Or was it maybe harassment? Apparently one of the three tenants is taking building management to the rental board. Coincidentally the container landed right in that tenant's stop! The Quebec Civil code forbids the landlord from harassing a tenant and the tenant can obtain punitive financial damages when this occurs. This tenant has pictures of the container in the parking spot, which inconvenienced a total of three tenants.
