I did it! I stuck up for myself to the point of being extremely straight forward and slightly pissy with someone. I have been rude back to people before or sarcastic but never down right bitchy.

I went to drop a whole car load of things off at the apartment this afternoon. I also decided to check out mail at the same time. In there was a 2 page letter ... hold on let me get the title of it ... "N4 Notice to Terminate Early for Nonpayment of Rent".

It gives us until the 20th to pay $500 or move out. WHAT THE HELL!?

First off, we havent even moved IN yet.

Secondly we are all paid up. We paid the last month rent and parking in full, and we paid half of first month (which was the promotion) and parking, and laundry card already. I have the two receipts to prove it.

I called up the lady in the rental office on my way to work and laid into her. I told her I was not impressed. She tried to tell me it came from head office which was downtown Ottawa, not from her and the landlord. I mentioned how that was not true because it was not in an envelope and it had her handwriting on it at the top. It was simply folded and slid into our mailbox. She changed the subject quickly after that.

Then she checked her records on the computer and it says for me and Adam we are all paid up with a balance of 0$ but we do need to pay parking for January before we move in. Again I said UM NO! We did that already too. I was so mad. I was almost yelling at her. She said she would check it out. My answer to her was "Yes best you do that!!"

So in the meantime I called the Ontario Rental Houseing Tribunal, because I was so damn pissed off. I raged at them for a bit and they told me there is no reason I should have gotten a letter like this.

So then I called back to the rental agent and told her I wanted head office's number so I could call them and complain. She said she checked into the parking thing and we HAD in fact paid it. Again I said "Yes I KNOW!!" She asked why I wanted head office's number and I told her because I want an apology letter and I want a letter stating that this specific notice is now null and void. This way it wont come back on our credit, it wont come back on us in any way if we have that.

She said she could do up a letter stating our balance was $0. But I want it in writing from head office because who cares about what a rental agent says ... really!

OH MY GOD! I have never been such a bitch on the phone. I think this woman is a pathalogical liar mind you. She claims the day she was late for our "getting of the key" appointment she had to stop and help a girl who was dying of blood loss due to hitting a dear on the highway on her way to Ottawa from Carleton Place. Then she had to go home and change her bloody clothes. Funny that I did pass by that very location a half hour after she said the accident had occured and there was NOTHING on the roads anywhere. Makes me wonder!

So in the morning I am STILL calling head office about that letter I want, but I am also going to be mentioning that it kind of shows me how they work and that perhaps I should be on top of things with them, and that I may be calling for documentation on many things.

FUCKING IDIOT PEOPLE!
