A hearing was held at the Rental Board on January 8. The subject was whether or not the judgment of the first hearing about whether or not I should be evicted from my apartment should be revoked, on the grounds that I never received notification about the hearing. At the end of the hearing, everyone was told that a judgment would be sent by mail, and that it could take up to three months.After the hearing had taken place, I learned that it was possible to go to the website of the Rental Board (Regie du Logement) and find out the decision that way, rather than relying only on the mail. So for the past week, almost every day, I checked the website. Tonight, the website finally said that a decision had been reached, and that the decision had been mailed out to the concerned parties today. However, when I tried to find out what the decision was, the website said that the decision was unavailable and would soon be posted. So I'm none the wiser as to what the decision is. Which makes it impossible for me to plot a course of action, since the activities involved in preparing for a new trial are of course completely different than those involved in moving out either within 30 or maybe only within 10 days.
This is the type of thing which makes one wish for a revolution that will topple everything once and for all.
Oh Jack; I'm so sorry you are caught up in Quebec's bureaucracy. Doesn't matter what branch - they have so much red tape, they can't see through to the people they are SUPPOSED to be serving.
ReplyDeleteBizarre coincidence, your landlords live a couple of streets over from my parents and the woman's name is familiar.
And I think Karen, they don't want the people to see through the red tape to them.
ReplyDeleteJack, you are an intelligent person attempting to navigate through this. Imagine what's like for all those "challenged" people who are out there going through the same thing. How could they possibly manage.
It's a travesty.
I just hope it all works out for you.
ReplyDeleteThat's nuts.. Hope it all works out Jack. Keep us posted.
ReplyDeleteI HATE RED TAPE!
ReplyDeleteSince I forsee things like this in my future, I'm packing what I absolutly do not need out just to be ahead of the game when and if I need to pack. I'm starting to make stacks of boxes in corners just to be ready, and expidite further packing. Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteStrength to you and hope that it will all work out the way you want it to!
