Thank you Dan for all your help. I have good news, I in away have won ... my landlord has let me out of my lease early and is not going through with their N4 and is signing an N11. I have agreed to not file with the LTB however I am still contacting the OEB to complain. PS I have bought a house.. thanks again for all your help --Previous Message-- : You are right, you do not have to pay and you : can wait to see if they initiate actual : proceedings. : : Your final question is more difficult : because of the complex system at the LTB. : Unlawful rent is T1. Harassment is T2. : There are 6 different types of applications : for tenants. We have proposed a one form : system, similar to small claims court, but : the Board isn't listening.....yet. : : You may also want to consider small claims : as your venue to re-collect, although I : would lean to a T1. : : Generally, there is no hurry to file because : you have one full year at the LTB, and 2 : years at Small Claims. : : We are at the stage where we are watching : landlord and smart meter company behaviour : following the Energy Board decision and : order. Then we will discuss with lawyers, : the best course of action for tenants to : take. Of course, we would be pleased if no : action at all was necessary as these : companies can choose to do the right thing. : : Thank you for keeping us posted. : : --Previous Message-- : As I said before I sent my landlord a letter : requesting my money back an I was hand : delivered a letter by my property manager : from their lawyers. The letter states I owe : them a shortfall of $112.41 for the first : year, and a shortfall of $166.36 for this : year. They say I am now in arrears and must : pay by Oct 13 or face collection proceedings : not tribunal. : : Now I have received a new letter and a form : N4 telling me to pay $278.77 or move out by : Nov 7 2009. : : I know I don't have to pay, should I take : them to the LTB first for my money for : paying hydro as well unlawful rent increase : and harassment? and if so do I fill out one : form T1 or three? : : :
