Loophole!
A while back, I had some issues with the boiler in my apartment building. Well, one issue, and that issue was that my boiler was not working for six straight days, which meant I had no heat. You can read all about it here. My management company promised to reimburse us for the days we went without heat. After calling them and leaving message after message, someone finally got back to me and left me a message that said we could deduct six months off of our rent. I’m pretty sure she meant six days, but I have her on tape saying six months. Ha ha!
I’m no lawyer, but I think I have a rock-solid case. I’m not paying rent again until July! And when I do pay rent, I’m going to do so in Canadian dollars! The case will be tied up in the courts for years! And when I finally do go to court, I’m going to speak French. Canadian French at that! And then I’m going to kill a guy! With an axe!
Oh, we’ll all have a good laugh at that one. My roommate, my management company, and I will all look back and say remember that time you accidentally said months instead of days and then we went to court, and then I killed a man with an axe for some reason? Ah, salad days, my friend. Salad days.
