I have an issue with my landlord. Ontario. Illegal charges.I rented an apartment in Feb/2017, and I still live in the same apartment. Back there the management office was from a company called Balnar. In 2018 I invited a friend of mine to live with us (my wife and I) as a roommate. As per contract, I needed to fill an application for him to be approved by the office, and that would add a 50 dollar monthly fee to the total rent, justified by the increase on wear and utilities (the rental is all included). I have done that, and paid my rent with the plus 50 until March 2020 when he left. In January another management office bought this building, and we are now under the Homestead management. I went to the office several times, I tried by phone, I tried in person, I tried through email. As a side note, I was told over the phone more than once that I wasn't paying the 50 dollars. That there was no record of that fee being paid. That made me kind of angry because never in my life I have not paid what I owed. I'm very proud to say that I always try to do things by the book. After that I tried to talk directly with the manager. So, in one of those times I got to talk with the property manager Ms. Slobodanka, and she told me she would try to solve it, she said I would need to come up with a letter requesting the fee removal, and they would do that for me. In February I sent them a letter stating that my roommate would leave the apartment, and asking them to remove his parking spot and the $50 dollar fee. As he would not be here the utilities increase is not a valid reason anymore. I continued paying the rent without the 50 dollars, as I thought the matter was solved. In April I decided to email the accounting office to see if I was owing anything, as I thought it was kind of weird that I got no answer on the 50 dollar matter. Turns out they have decided no to take off the fee. They said they did not find any evidence on my records that I was paying it. As I have all the paper trails, I sent them everything thoroughly explained, and the regional property manager promised me he would take a look. Again, I thought the matter was solved, but in May I got a call from Ms.Slobodanka saying I had a 200 dollars debit with them. I explained all the situation and she asked me to send her the paper trail, and she would take a look. After a while I got an answer from her that they will not take the 50 dollar off. She said there is nowhere in the contract with balnar saying that after the occupant moves the fee would be taken off. She also said that there is no such fee with homestead, but they analysed the contract with balnar and it didn't state that the fee would be removed.But I have no idea how to proceed, or even if I can do something.… read more
