Hi there, first time on this site and I have a question pertaining to my landlord and a few mistakes in our lease agreement, and failure on more than one occasion to conduct politely requested repairs. Have been living here for 7 months and it hasnt been pleasant, alot of small inconveniences and things that were neglected to be done before I moved in.
Any polite responses as to what I should do, my rights, what my landlord might do If I tell her I think all this and thensome is a cumulative 7 month breach are appreciated,
-our lease is dated Nov.01/08 until Oct.31 2008
-Our Landlord did not include her mailing address
-Our Landlord neglected to Do a preinspection walkthrough
-our bedroom window is not up to fire code
-3 weeks into our tenancy the paint in the bathroom above shower began peeling.We notified the landlord and were told it would be repaired. & months later it has not been.
-our sinks werent 100% functioning upon arrival
-There have been mice in the unit and building which was kept from us
-and finally for 4 months of the tenancy there was a sex offender who is now encarcerated living below us, for 3 months he caused problems for the entire building.
-oh one more thing, Our fire extinguishers havent been checked in almost 4 years...Renting in Edmonton is expensive and a nightmare.
All I want from my land lord is my $925DD returned and to allow us to leave at the end of this month. I gave her notice on the 2nd of this month
Please help,
