What To Do If ESA Cuts our Hydro

We the tenants of 1010 Dundas Street East have the RIGHT  to hydro.  It is quite clearly documented in the Landlord and Tenant Act that the landlord shall not interfere with the provision of vital services.  We have just had a posting from the ESA that they will be re-examining the possibility of disconnecting our hydro again on February 16, 2010.

This is a long weekend coming up, it is Family Day on Monday which is a government sanctioned Stat Holiday.  Do you believe that anything will change miraculously over a long weekend, I DO NOT believe so.

What can be done to protect the rights of the people of 1010 Dundas Street East?  Well for starters I am including with this posting details of a T6 application that is lying in wait for the power to ultimately be shut down.  Once the power is indeed shut down, this T6 application will be filed with the Landlord and Tenant Board.  This T6 application will be seeking $80,000 compensation for anyone who wishes to add their name to the application.  This $80,000 is determined for a standby generator to provide backup hydro where the park has none.  This hydro service is a vital service and the landlord is required to provide this service until such time as the landlord has an eviction notice for the tenant from the Landlord and Tenant Board.  Until the landlord has approval from the Town of Whitby and the residents have had time to appeal this decision to the Ontario Municipal Board, the Landlord will be required to maintain our vital services, so long as we are paying our rent properly.

Please look over the attached portions of the T6 application that I have already prepared and lying in wait for the ultimate disconnection of hydro for 1010 Dundas Street East.  If you would like a name added to this application please forward such information to this blog site.
