Another day, another notice... plus felines and food
I just got this notice dated Sept. 20 through the mailslot today:
Dear Owner of Grounds and Apartments at Richmond Gardens,
Thank you for your letter dated September 16, 2005 regarding discontinuation of cable services currently supplied under a bulk cable agreement and included as part of the rental agreement currently in place.
Please be aware that under the Residential Tenancy Act: Section 27-1 B and 16-2, this letter contravenes our rights as tenants in two respects. Firstly, this is insufficient notice in that we must be given 30 days written notice. In the second aspect, the residential tenancy agreement specifically stipulates that we are to be compensated with rent reduction for loss of service in value of tenancy agreement during our entire tenancy. Currently, basic service provided under the bulk agreement is to channel 56. Upon checking with Shaw cable, that is a reduction of $47.95 plus applicable taxes that we expect to see as compensation in current rent value. The manner of presentation of this letter, specifically that we will incur activation fees if the letter is not responded to by October 1, 2005 is unlawful. You cannot incur a debt on our behalf for a service we are already paying for in our rental agreement.
In regard to lack of service, please be aware that part of the service included living where grounds were up kept by an efficient gardening service. While the building itself is in dire need of painting, the fact that the grounds look unkempt reduces our place of residency to that of an inferior dwelling. We are not welfare recipients, nor do we pay subsidized rents: our place of residence should not reflect such substandard appearances as these. Also as the grounds are unkempt, we notice increased insect traffic. Further, we have an increase in rodent population as evidenced by scratching and hearing them run in the ceilings and walls. There seems no appearance in attending to these esthetic and health matters. In the matter of health, what is that awful odor coming from the outside storage buildings?
You do incur damages to vehicles when your painter splashes paint on them, whether you meant to do so or not. To suggest that we incur the cost of damages is not true. We understand the need to repaint the lines. However, this could be done section by section without threats to our property.
As a matter of courtesy, perhaps you should employ a resource person to more effectively handle your communications. All your communications have been very heavy-handed.
On our behalf: Tenants of Richmond Gardens.
Tenants: Please be aware of your rights in regards to the tenancy act. You may forward this letter to Amacon, your MLA, and the Residential Tenancy Office. Notify the health department of your health concerns.

You're Tigger. Playful and fun-loving, you enjoy
hanging out with friends even though you don't
always have to be the center of attention.
You're never pessimistic or sluggish. Your
enthusiasm is at once endearing and
over-the-top. You're the quintessential
extrovert.
Which famous feline are you?
