The time is at hand.....
Well it's official. Seems like the powers that be are pressuring the property owner to resolve the years-backlogged complaints against this building (more about health & safety violations). After being behind rent for ever (since last year at least), there's no quibbling from me as at least I've gotten a month's notice, and they aren't gettin' a dime from me....
I'm finally getting the heave-ho from here though, so I'll be homeless in time for Spring... joy! The smaller consolation is that they want to do that with EVERYONE in here, so I don't feel THAT bad. I am going to be writing an article about this affair to (hopefully) be read in a published format (ie. Toronto Star, NOW, etc..), so that at least there's one more story for the books against the living conditions 'round here. Apart from that, I don't have to pay them nada for a month - which would has been exactly what I REALLY needed all along. In fact if it WAS my call (where nothing ever really was), I'da expected some compensation for all the anguish, that many a friend can easily say they've seen me live through. So I'm basically good 'til the 3rd of May...
Now I know that there isn't enough time this month to full dive into apartment searching, but chances are I won't quite have enough for the complete first and last for a place by the month's end, barring my income tax refund coming soon and swift; so I can easily foresee having to find a hole and bide my time for the month of May. This may be surprising to a lot of you, but I sincerely don't expect anyone to offer me a place in case that happens.... I have more written this as to simply be a responsible person, leaving SOME record as to what will be going on with me.
So when you see me after reading this, just be kind.... Truthfully, just want you to be understanding of my situation is all.
Bless the lot o' ya!
