It is not easy to rent a house in Canada. Tell me how I got into a fight with a sly land.

Dealing with landlords is common in Canada. When you hear it, you must think it is full of gunpowder. Will you make a scene like you did in China? In fact, in a civilized and democratic country, the ways and behaviors of playing tricks are very different. 200 1 rented the current apartment at the beginning of the year, and only found the janitor to help the company look at the house. Looking at the house, it turns out that the family has just moved out and he is painting the kitchen. I looked at it and thought it was ok, so I signed a lease with him in a hurry. As a result, I found several problems after moving in. First of all, he lied to me that it was all-inclusive, but the heating was electric. Obviously, I have to pay my own electricity bill in winter. I found that it was too late to bargain with him on this issue, and only the dumb ate Huanglian. Fortunately, I signed a contract with him for 18 months, because in 2002, probably because of the influx of new immigrants, the rental business was particularly good. Landlords won't miss the opportunity, but they can't just raise the rent. Therefore, the first step of the landlord is to replace each balcony floor and then paint it. For the landlord, these expenses can be scored into the cost. Secondly, some minor problems will be exaggerated. For example, one summer, when I was taking a shower, I left the window open and some water flowed out of it. Just after the plumber saw it, he decided that the partition wall under the window of my bathroom was broken and needed to help me replace it all. At that time, I didn't quite understand the mystery, so I think you can change it if you want. As a result, the plumber changed partitions and tiles, and the bathroom was completely new. I was complacent and thought it was cheap. As a result, in the fifteenth month, the landlord sent a registered letter, which contained a calculation list of cost increase and rent increase. If the rent expires, the rent will increase by one month 18 yuan. If I don't want to renew the lease, I'll move out. I calculated that the telephone opening fee, electricity opening fee and gas opening fee are all in 50 yuan, plus the moving fee, and there are all places related to banks, tax bureaus and credit card companies. Everyone has to change their addresses, so it's not worthwhile to move, so we can only accept the landlord's price increase when we meet for the first time. The next year, I was cautious. During this year, I didn't find that the landlord made any changes to the house. However, once the laundry room was stolen, four washing machines and dryers were patronized by thieves and the coin box was pried open. Tenants are responsible, because some people often lock the door with newspapers or something, creating opportunities for thieves. The laundry room at the entrance of the apartment and the cabinet where the newspaper was placed caught fire again, and all four machines and cabinets were burned down. But the fire landlord bought insurance, and the insurance premium will of course go up. In addition, the ceiling of my bathroom is leaking and the landlord has come to repair it, so it is inevitable to raise the rent. Sure enough, three months before the lease term, the landlord sent a notice to each tenant, adding 15 yuan every month for the next lease term, but there was no calculation list attached. I seized this point and immediately sent a reply to the landlord early, and registered to ask for a rent increase calculation form. As a result, after two weeks, I didn't receive the list either, so I drafted a second reply to the effect that I didn't agree to add 15 yuan, because since I sent a registered letter asking for the list, I haven't received any reply from the landlord in the form of telephone, fax or letter, and the leaking ceiling is not my responsibility. Considering that the fire and theft are the responsibility of the tenants, I only agree to add 5 yuan for one month. If the landlord has any questions, we will go to the rent arbitration commission. Attach a copy of the last letter and send it to the landlord again by registered mail. The landlord responded quickly this time, and the responsible staff called me. After bargaining, the transaction was finally made at a price of seven yuan per month. In the second round, I achieved a win-win situation with the landlord.
