<If making life difficult for other people until you eventually capitulate is your idea of a win, that's rather strange. The landlord won, because the lawyer forced you to pay. You clearly would never had done so otherwise.> In the lawyer's calculus, they lost. He really didn't want a whole bunch of cases like that. I play golf all day, which is not as entertaining as that day, so I was in credit the whole way. It cost me nothing at all, other than the rent, which I knew I had to pay anyway. There was no doubt in my mind about that from the beginning. Win, lose, it's all how you look at it. I was very happy with my outcomes. Really quite delighted. Which is why I recount the story now. They were NOT delighted. They had significant costs. They didn't think it was much of a victory. They did some cleaning up, but it was a running down place so that will have been superficial. Because we were leaving Ottawa, I didn't have time to continue the fun with the Tenants Association, so that was the end of that for me. Also, good for you if you can give a thief some well-deserved consequences. But perhaps you should look a little closely and see if there isn't a quid pro quo in the husband wife exchange and a legal "victory" is not in fact the best outcome. Jeez CB, I'm always rational! All for it. Sweet dreams. [Re previous post] Mqurice
