CAN LANDLORD TELL TENANT WHEN/HOW LONG TO SHOWER?
HOMESTEAD LAND HOLDINGS IN KINGSTON, ONTARIO HAS SUNK TO A NEW ALL-TIME LOW. THEY ARE ACCUSING ME OF TAKING A SHOWER, WHEN IN FACT THERE WAS NO RUNNING WATER IN MY APARTMENT AT THE TIME. IS THIS SOMETHING THAT WILL BE CONDONED AND/OR SANCTIONED BY THE ONTARIO LANDLORD TENANT BOARD? ARE LANDLORDS ALLOWED TO TELL TENANTS WHEN AND FOR HOW LONG THEY MAY TAKE A SHOWER? IS THIS A VIOLATION OF MY HUMAN RIGHTS OR JUST AN INVASION OF MY PRIVACY?
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING E-MAIL, WHICH SENT EARLIER TO THE RENTAL OFFICE ON JOHNSON ST. IN KINGSTON. SEE HOW THE SUPERINTENDENT BACKTRACKED AND TOLD ME A LIE ABOUT THE TIME HE WAS AT MY DOOR. ALSO READ HOW HE ALLEGES THAT HE COULD HEAR WATER OUTSIDE MY DOOR FROM THE BATHROOM, WHICH IS AT LEAST 30 FEET FROM THE OUTSIDE HALLWAY, WITH TWO ROOMS (KITCHEN AND DINING ROOM) AND ONE FIREWALL IN BETWEEN. YOU WILL SEE HOW RIDICULOUS THE LANDLORD IS BEING AND HOW FAR THEY WILL GO TO HARASS A FEMALE MIDDLE-AGED TENANT WHO LIVES ALONE.

Subject: Are you rationing time in the shower now? & I REPORTED ANOTHER ALTERCATION IN 401 TO JOHN AT 2:56 P.M. JUNE 20/08
Cheryl and Michael:
What the hell is going on here now? Your stupor was pounding on my door at 6:50 p.m. I had just gotten out of the shower a short time earlier and when he pounded on the door, I was on the telephone with my sister and had been on the telephone with her since 6:23 p.m. (she checked the time on her telephone's call display for me to confirm the exact time I called). I asked who was pounding at the door several times until he finally answered (I thought it could have been Cheryl's good little buddy, Gilbert again). I asked him to wait a second, until I threw on my bathrobe, before opening the door. He was asking whether anything was wrong, stating that the morons in 401 told him that I was running water in the bathroom for over an hour.
He not only told me that the morons in 401 were stating I was running water for over an hour, he also said that he heard it. Well, if he had come here directly from 401 AS HE SPECIFICALLY STATED HE HAD, and alleges that he DEFINITELY heard running water from my apartment, then there is no way that he had heard running water from my apartment (SEE THE TIMES ABOVE).
What the hell were they doing down in 401 anyway, especially since they are so noisy all the time themselves? Do they actually sit in the bathroom, timing me when they think I may be in the shower? KEEP IN MIND THAT THE BATHROOM IN THE NEXT APARTMENT (503) IS DIRECTLY BEHIND MY BATHROOM. PERHAPS SOMEONE IN THERE WAS USING THE SHOWER AS WELL OR RUNNING OTHER WATER, AND THE HILLBILLIES DOWNSTAIRS ARE TRYING TO DIVERT ATTENTION AWAY FROM THEMSELVES, BECAUSE OF ALL THE NOISE THEY MAKE. It seems to me that this is a case of them trying to get revenge on me, for the noise complaints made against them..
Like I stated, "What the hell"? For one thing, I was not in the shower anywhere near that length of time. Even if I was, which I was NOT, what the hell business if that of yours, your stupors, or anyone else? IS IT IN MY LEASE THAT YOU CAN TELL ME WHEN I MAY OR MAY NOT TAKE A SHOWER? ALSO IS IT IN THE LEASE, THAT YOU CAN YOU TELL ME HOW LONG I MAY TAKE IN THE SHOWER? I even asked him, facetiously, whether he thought I was so big that I would need that long to get clean in the shower. For another thing, are you water Nazis and dictating exactly how long a tenant can use their shower? We have received no notices to that effect. Is that the next step and how far do you intend to go, to try to control my personal affairs? If I had a visitor/guest or other tenant in this apartment, surely the shower would be used more frequently. How much time would the idiots in 401 have to then spend in their bathroom, listening to how long someone may be using the facilities in my apartment. I am the only person living here.
You are doing absolutely nothing about all the noise that these idiots make in 401. You have done nothing about the constant loud altercations that occur in that apartment on a daily, and even more frequent at times, basis. YET, your stupor will harass me about how long I am allegedly in the shower!!!
I telephoned the stupor at about 7:15 p.m., after realizing that there was no way he could have heard water running in my bathroom. I told him that, after he had asked me many weeks ago about something like that, I checked for myself. I went into my bathroom and ran water in the tub, leaving the bathroom door open. I went into the hallway and could not hear any running water. In fact, the next time I saw him after that, I advised him about how I had performed this experiment. He, at the time, told me that work had been done on the plumbing and nothing about what exactly could have caused the sound of running water the idiots in 401 had allegedly heard. I commented also that I had noticed that the water had been turned off several times, in the interim. It was my impression that this problem had been rectified.
When he was at my door at 6:50 p.m., he specifically told me that he had just then heard running water in my bathroom. When I told him that I had been on the phone since 6:23 p.m. and that I was out of the shower about 5 - 10 minutes prior to calling my sister, and that then there was no way he could have just heard water running in my bathroom, BECAUSE THERE WAS NO WATER RUNNING, he changed his story. He then told me that he had been here earlier (at 6:00) and had to go outside. Then he tried to say that he had heard the water running from the hallway at that time. HE COULD HAVE AT LEAST TRIED TO KEEP HIS STORY STRAIGHT AND GIVE ME AN HONEST ANSWER. WHEN I TOLD HIM IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO HEAR RUNNING WATER AT 6:50 P.M., HE CONVENIENTLY CHANGED HIS ACCOUNT OF THE EVENTS. I asked him, from where did he hear the running water. I think that is a reasonable and logical question to ask. He said that he could not say, it was a violation of tenant privacy. WHY WOULD HE NOT SAY EXACTLY WHERE THE WATER WAS RUNNING, IF HE WAS ACCUSING ME OF RUNNING THE WATER. UNLESS HE ALSO HEARD WATER FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE, THEN HOW WOULD IT BE A VIOLATION OF ANOTHER TENANT'S PRIVACY? ALSO, IF HE COULD NOT SAY, THEN I TAKE IT THAT HE COULD NOT DETERMINE WHERE THE WATER WAS RUNNING IN THE FIRST PLACE AND DECIDED TO HARASS ME. WHAT A BIG SURPRISE THAT IS. HARASS A MIDDLE-AGED WOMAN ON DISABILITY. THEN AGAIN, HISTORICALLY THAT IS WHAT YOU DO SO WELL AND THIS STUPOR APPEARS TO BE VERY WELL TRAINED IN YOUR COMPANY POLICIES AND PROCEDURES. HOW F'ING RIDICULOUS IS THAT? HE WAS TRYING TO ACCUSE ME OF RUNNING WATER WHEN I WAS IN FACT NOT. I told him that I thought he was lying.
I THEN asked him to come to my apartment right away, to perform the aforementioned experiment. I told him to come here immediately, upon which we would turn on the water in the bathroom, and listen for it outside the apartment door. He refused and said something along the lines of, have a good night, and hung up. IF HE WERE SO SURE THAT THE WATER HAD BEEN RUNNING IN MY APARTMENT, THEN HE SHOULD HAVE COME UP HERE AND LISTENED FOR HIMSELF, WITH ME AS A WITNESS, BUT HE REFUSED, WHICH MEANS TO ME THAT HE DOES NOT WANT TO BE PROVED WRONG.
Another point of interest, I had to telephone the stupor yesterday at 2:56 p.m. There was yet another loud altercation occurring in 401 and had been for some time. He told me that he would check it out. I told him that, while I was on the phone with him, I was not hearing anything, at that precise moment. Then I added that it was another reprieve, that could last for seconds or minutes, but that there is loud arguing going on there too frequently. I advised him that I am tired of hearing it.
I have sent COUNTLESS e-mails to you and filed many complaints over a period of months (since early November 2007) with the stupor about the noise and loud altercations in 401. YET, you do nothing about it. INSTEAD, he comes pounding on my door, because i may be taking a shower. THIS IS BLATANT HARASSMENT IN MY OPINION AND UTTERLY RIDICULOUS. I HAVE BEEN HERE SINCE AUGUST OF 1994. IN THAT TIME, THERE HAS NOT BEEN A SINGLE NOISE VIOLATION MADE AGAINST ME. I DON'T ARGUE AND SLAM DOORS. I HAVE NEVER PLAYED LOUD MUSIC OR HAD THE VOLUME ON THE TV SET HIGH. ANY GUESTS HAVE NEVER MADE NOISE DISTURBANCES. NEITHER I NOR ANY GUESTS OF MINE HAVE EVER HARASSED, INTIMIDATED, OR INTERFERED WITH THE DAILY ACTIVITIES OR LIVES OF ANY OTHER TENANTS. CONVERSELY, SOMEONE WHO CHERYL TRIES TO SAY WAS NOT GILBERT (who by the way is living here for months without a lease, because that would affect Dave's ODSP benefits) COMES POUNDING ON MY DOOR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT ON THE 17TH OF FEB., TERRIFYING ME, AND SHE TRIES TO SAY THAT, EVEN THOUGH ANOTHER TENANT SAW HIM GOING INTO 509, THAT IT WAS NOT HIM. I AM SURE THAT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THAT SITUATION AND EVEN MORE SURE THAT NOTHING WILL BE DONE.
WHAT THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO DO, LET YOUR EMPLOYEE HARASS ME AND THEN NOT TEST THE FACT THAT RUNNING WATER CANNOT BE HEARD FROM MY BATHROOM INTO THE HALLWAY? AM I SUPPOSED TO LET YOU BULLIES WALK ALL OVER ME, ESPECIALLY OVER SOMETHING AS RIDICULOUS AS THIS? DO I HAVE TO FIND ANOTHER LAWYER OR CALL THE NEWSPAPERS LIKE I DID WHEN YOU HARASSED ME IN 2006? I AM SURE THEY WOULD BE INTERESTED IN THE FACT THAT A TENANT IS BEING ACCUSED OF TAKING A SHOWER!
