Revocation of Judgment

After a night of not sleeping much, I managed to drag myself out of bed and was down at the Rental Board (Regie du Logement) at 8:45 AM. There I found out, to my surprise, that it was quite common for the slips announcing the hearing dates to get lost in the mail. For a fee of $65.00, I was able to get a Revocation of Judgment, which essentially puts an end to all proceedings until a new hearing can be held, which probably won't be until after the Rental Board re-opens on January 3, 2009 after the holidays.

Copies of the Revocation of Judgment form were sent by registered mail to both the husband and wife who own the building on Tuesday morning at about 11 AM. I was told that if the landlord tries to take action before he receives the registered mail (he lives in Beaconsfield), there would have to be a bailiff there with him, and I should show the bailiff my copy of the form, which would stop the eviction. If need be, I should call the police, and show them the form. I have also taped xerox copies of the form on both my front and back doors and on some of interior walls of my apartment. Hopefully, that should be enough.

So, maybe, I am safe for another little while.
