Thanks, Joyce Mc. I'm looking at a place this week where a friend manages the building, and the landlord has so far taken all her recommendations. Katrina doesn't have permits yet; has just hired a contractor; and has yet to draw up plans. I do plan to move ASAP; and no I won't contact the Rent Board. I don't want to negotiate, I want to leave. And I'll tell her I've found something that "suits my needs better." When I've asked about a construction timeline, she has told me "not to worry, you'll get plenty of notice," but naturally I don't take anything she says seriously. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for the input, everyone! At the glacial rate my city --notorious for its Byzantine permit process-- does things, she could wind up with an empty cottage, in permit limbo, with no tenant, for months. It would serve her right. -- The Kirk

In reply to: Joyce Mc 's message, "Without a signed lease, I can't see that you are under any obligation to your landlord. Get out fast and pay through your last day of occupancy. Even if this means that you have to temporarily park your stuff with some friends and sleep on someone's couch for a week or two. Don't waste your time seeking answers with a "rental board." To me, going to a rental board signals that you want to stay put and deal with this nut-job. Why? IMHO you need to put distance between yourself and this rental situation pronto. All you need to say is that your plans changed and you found a better situation." on 13:39:06 05/27/12 Sun
