How might it feel to LOSE a Quarter Million Dollars

So far, we have a possibility of 13 trailers to be moved.  If in fact our landlord is to get $20,000 per trailer to be demolished and we move 13 trailers, our landlord will lose out on a possible credit of $260,000 plus our landlord will be required by law to pay out $3,000 each for a total of $299,000.  I couldn't imagine losing out on over a quarter million dollars like this.

Lets Hit Them In The Pocketbook

If it is true that any trailers remaining on the property when this park does close will result in a $20K credit, I may have a way of hitting a half million dollar home run.

If I could find 25 trailers to move, I might have a home for them.  If people would message me, to help establish a potential list of trailers to have moved.  In a couple weeks once this list is completed, I will be having a company in to give us an estimate to move the 25 trailers.  In the meantime, I am approaching multiple levels of government to try and solicit possible funding to help us make our move.

Thank You Global TV

Your coverage of our plight in our fight with our landlord is much appreciated.  It appears that the landlord was more willing to talk with the media, after allowing the hydro service to be disconnected than they were today when they had actually prevented the water from being disconnected.  Doesn't that seem kind of backwards???

Am I reading this correct?

Developments shall ensure that the entire surface area of existing
solar panels on the lands in the vicinity of a proposed development is
exposed to sunlight during at least two times on the following date:
1) December 21st at 10:00AM, 12:00 PM, 2:00 PM

If I install a solar panel on my existing trailer home, that this solar panel would have to be confirmed to receive sunlight on December 21 in the official application before the Town Council?  I could be shopping for solar panels tomorrow!!!  I am quite sure that I could have several residents buying solar panels within a short time frame.  Would this affect the Town Council meeting that is tentatively scheduled for June?

Do We All Need This?

Do we all need to buy our own Jet Pumps from Canadian Tire and to chip in together and rent a water truck?  Weigh your options carefully!  We have all experienced a disconnection of hydro services and had to wait for the installation of the backup generator. 

Just In Water Disconnect Notice

We the tenants of 1010 Dundas St E have just received notice of a disconnection of our water services.

Property Standards By-Law Number 856-79

"Property" means a building or structure or part of a building or structure, and includes the lands and premises appurtenant thereto and all mobile homes, mobile buildings, mobile structures, outbuildings, fences and erections thereon whether heretofore or hereafter erected, and includes vacant property.


No owner of property shall maintain or permit to be maintained, occupy or permit to be occupied, use or permit the use of, rent or offer to rent any property which does not comply with the provisions and regulations setforth in Schedule "A" and any property which does not comply, shall be repaired and maintained to comply with the standards set out in said Schedule "A" or the site thereof shall be cleared of all buildings, structures, debris and refuse, and left in a graded and levelled condition.

With the announcement at the last Town Council meeting of a tax incentive of $20,000 per unit that the owner of the property owns and demolishes to replace with new units, I must ask why this Town By-Law is seemingly being bended without making a change to the By-Law.  The tennants of 1010 Dundas St. E. have filed a complaint with the By-Law department on the proper By-Law complaint form in regards to 8 abandoned/discarded trailers.  It appears that these trailers are simply being boarded up instead of "the site thereof shall be cleared of all buildings, structures, debris and refuse, and left in a graded and levelled condition.
