Another "emergency" water shut-off
A few days ago papers were posted around the building indicating that the water would be shut off on Wednesday May 11th 2016 between 9 am and 2 pm... and it was. (AGAIN!) With all these so-called emergency shut-offs, it would be better to scrap the existing water system and put in a new one. In fact, with these chronic shut-offs, it is easy to get a rent reduction via the Régie du logement. Just file a claim and ask for a retroactive rent reduction of say, 50$ per month. All you need to do is print out this blog with all the dates of the water shut-offs to substantiate your claim and you will have it accepted by the judge. You can also add in the fact that the grounds are always filthy and that the elevators are always broken. You can even explain that you had to pay for the keys when you moved in which is not allowed. This should get you up to 100$ per month retro-active reduction!
