This is a follow-up to my original post, about being harassed by the landlord, because on the word of the super and the tenants in 401, I allegedly had taken an hour-long shower on February 21, 2008. In reality, much of that time, I was actually on the telephone, and there was no water running in my apartment at all!
I had a rather interesting little chat with the super, John Tame, today (Monday, February 25, 2008). For the second time in a few days, the tenant in 503 was playing music very loudly. I had telephoned the super at 2:18 p.m. on February 22. Since they made the plumbing repair in the bathroom, the music is much louder than it would have been, prior to that repair being made.
On February 22, when I first called the super, he advised me that he did not hear the music in the hallway. I told him that it had been turned down or off, just prior to his arrival on the floor. I led him into the bathroom, explaining that the music was much louder in the 3rd bedroom, adding that it was most loud in the bathroom. I further explained that, because of the acoustics, the noise carried throughout the whole apartment. It sounded as though the shower was running in the next apartment. The bathroom in 503 is adjacent to my bathroom. The super commented that perhaps the tenant had been singing in the shower. Well, it was more than just singing. I had heard loud music.
Today, I telephoned him at 12:32 p.m., about the same apartment, (running water), and same loud music. I looked into the hallway at 12:35 p.m. and saw him walking towards the door to 503, stopping there briefly, then advancing towards my door. He knocked at my door, before I got a chance to open it. He said that he did not hear the music. In the hallway, I could hear it faintly.
He entered my apartment. I led him to the bathroom. My bathroom door was closed as it was the other day, and the music was still quite loud throughout the whole apartment. He could hear it then.
On his way out, he advised me "I have to be right on top of it" to hear it, adding that he "used to operate heavy machinery". The statements I made in quotation marks are his verbatim remarks to me. IN LIGHT OF THIS VERY INTERESTING DEVELOPMENT, how can he be relied upon, when a tenant reports a loud noise complaint??? He has told me a few times, that he has not heard the altercations/loud music in 401.
Today, through the peephole, I had watched him stand right by the door to 503, yet he did not hear the very loud music! How then, could he have possibly heard running water in my apartment on February 21st??? As I stated in my original blog, many weeks before when the super asked me one day whether I had heard running water, I conducted a test. I turned on the faucet in the bathtub, which is the loudest, and left the bathroom door open. I then went outside into the hallway, with the door closed. I could not hear running water "outside" the apartment, but prior to that, I could hear it "inside" the apartment.
My hearing is nearly perfect. When I had it last tested, I had only a very minimal loss of hearing, and then only to sounds at a very high pitch. If I could not hear it, then with his apparent and self-admitted hearing loss, how could he have heard running water in my apartment? I reiterate from my original post that, when he was at my door, it was impossible for him to have heard running water, when I had been on the phone for just over 35 minutes, and had been out of the shower at least 10 minutes prior to calling her. When I mentioned that to him, he stated that he had been at my door 50 minutes earlier, at 6:00 p.m., at which time he allegedly heard it. Also note from the original post, when he came to my door at 6:50 p.m., he advised me that he had just then heard the running water.
Who is telling lies here???

HOMESTEAD HARASSES TENANT RE SHOWER
CAN A LANDLORD TELL A TENANT WHEN/HOW LONG TO SHOWER? IS IT LEGAL FOR A LANDLORD TO EXERCISE SUCH CONTROL OVER A TENANT???
HOMESTEAD LAND HOLDINGS IN KINGSTON, ONTARIO HAS SUNK TO A NEW ALL-TIME LOW, EVEN FOR THEM AS SLEAZY AS THEY ARE. THEY ARE ACCUSING ME OF TAKING A SHOWER, WHEN IN FACT THERE WAS NO RUNNING WATER IN MY APARTMENT, AT ALL, AT THE TIME. THEY ARE ACCUSING ME OF HAVING WATER RUNNING IN MY APARTMENT, WHEN THERE WAS NONE RUNNING.
Please view an updated post, I am making on Monday, February 25th. I think you will find it very interesting, considering what the super told me he can and cannot hear.
IS THIS SOMETHING THAT WILL BE CONDONED AND/OR SANCTIONED BY THE ONTARIO LANDLORD TENANT BOARD? ARE LANDLORDS ALLOWED TO TELL TENANTS WHEN AND FOR HOW LONG THEY MAY TAKE A SHOWER? IS THIS A VIOLATION OF MY HUMAN RIGHTS OR JUST AN INVASION OF MY PRIVACY?
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING E-MAIL, WHICH I SENT EARLIER TO THE RENTAL OFFICE ON JOHNSON ST. IN KINGSTON. SEE HOW THE SUPERINTENDENT BACKTRACKED AND TOLD ME A LIE ABOUT THE TIME HE WAS AT MY DOOR. THIS SUPER, JOHN TAME, IS ONE IDIOT. I'D LIKE TO HAVE A DOLLAR FOR EVERY TIME HE TURNS OFF HIS PAGER AND PRETENDS IT TURNED OFF ON ITS OWN. HE IS SO LAZY TOO. ALSO READ HOW HE ALLEGES THAT HE COULD HEAR WATER OUTSIDE MY DOOR FROM THE BATHROOM (SEE BELOW). YOU WILL SEE HOW RIDICULOUS THE LANDLORD IS BEING AND HOW FAR THEY WILL GO TO HARASS A FEMALE MIDDLE-AGED TENANT WHO LIVES ALONE.
I CAN LITERALLY AND HONESTLY PROVE THAT RUNNING WATER CANNOT BE HEARD OUTSIDE MY APARTMENT. I HAVE DONE THE TEST MYSELF. IT IS OVER 30 FEET AWAY, THERE ARE THE DINING ROOM AND KITCHEN A FIREWALL AND A HEAVY SOLID WOOD DOOR IN BETWEEN!!! I TURNED ON THE WATER FAUCET IN THE TUB, EVEN HIGHER VOLUME OF WATER THAN I EVER USE. I WENT OUTSIDE AND CLOSED THE APARTMENT DOOR. I COULD NOT HEAR A THING FROM INSIDE MY APARTMENT. I SWEAR THIS IS FACT. ANYONE CAN CHECK IT OUT FOR THEMSELVES. NOT ONLY IS JOHN TAME AN IDIOT, HE IS A BLATANT LIAR. YOU WILL ALSO SEE HOW HE LIED ABOUT THE TIME HE WAS AT MY DOOR.
HERE IS THE E-MAIL I SENT. I COPIED IT DIRECTLY FROM OUTLOOK EXPRESS:

Subject: Are you rationing time in the shower now? & I REPORTED ANOTHER ALTERCATION IN 401 TO JOHN AT 2:56 P.M. JUNE 20/08
Cheryl and Michael:
What the hell is going on here now? Your stupor was pounding on my door at 6:50 p.m. I had just gotten out of the shower a short time earlier and when he pounded on the door, I was on the telephone with my sister and had been on the telephone with her since 6:23 p.m. (she checked the time on her telephone's call display for me to confirm the exact time I called). I asked who was pounding at the door several times until he finally answered (I thought it could have been Cheryl's good little buddy, Gilbert again). I asked him to wait a second, until I threw on my bathrobe, before opening the door. He was asking whether anything was wrong, stating that the morons in 401 told him that I was running water in the bathroom for over an hour.
He not only told me that the morons in 401 were stating I was running water for over an hour, he also said that he heard it. Well, if he had come here directly from 401 AS HE SPECIFICALLY STATED HE HAD, and alleges that he DEFINITELY heard running water from my apartment, then there is no way that he had heard running water from my apartment (SEE THE TIMES ABOVE).
What the hell were they doing down in 401 anyway, especially since they are so noisy all the time themselves? Do they actually sit in the bathroom, timing me when they think I may be in the shower? KEEP IN MIND THAT THE BATHROOM IN THE NEXT APARTMENT (503) IS DIRECTLY BEHIND MY BATHROOM. PERHAPS SOMEONE IN THERE WAS USING THE SHOWER AS WELL OR RUNNING OTHER WATER, AND THE HILLBILLIES DOWNSTAIRS ARE TRYING TO DIVERT ATTENTION AWAY FROM THEMSELVES, BECAUSE OF ALL THE NOISE THEY MAKE. It seems to me that this is a case of them trying to get revenge on me, for the noise complaints made against them..
Like I stated, "What the hell"? For one thing, I was not in the shower anywhere near that length of time. Even if I was, which I was NOT, what the hell business if that of yours, your stupors, or anyone else? IS IT IN MY LEASE THAT YOU CAN TELL ME WHEN I MAY OR MAY NOT TAKE A SHOWER? ALSO IS IT IN THE LEASE, THAT YOU CAN YOU TELL ME HOW LONG I MAY TAKE IN THE SHOWER? I even asked him, facetiously, whether he thought I was so big that I would need that long to get clean in the shower. For another thing, are you water Nazis and dictating exactly how long a tenant can use their shower? We have received no notices to that effect. Is that the next step and how far do you intend to go, to try to control my personal affairs? If I had a visitor/guest or other tenant in this apartment, surely the shower would be used more frequently. How much time would the idiots in 401 have to then spend in their bathroom, listening to how long someone may be using the facilities in my apartment. I am the only person living here.
You are doing absolutely nothing about all the noise that these idiots make in 401. You have done nothing about the constant loud altercations that occur in that apartment on a daily, and even more frequent at times, basis. YET, your stupor will harass me about how long I am allegedly in the shower!!!
I telephoned the stupor at about 7:15 p.m., after realizing that there was no way he could have heard water running in my bathroom. I told him that, after he had asked me many weeks ago about something like that, I checked for myself. I went into my bathroom and ran water in the tub, leaving the bathroom door open. I went into the hallway and could not hear any running water. In fact, the next time I saw him after that, I advised him about how I had performed this experiment. He, at the time, told me that work had been done on the plumbing and nothing about what exactly could have caused the sound of running water the idiots in 401 had allegedly heard. I commented also that I had noticed that the water had been turned off several times, in the interim. It was my impression that this problem had been rectified.
When he was at my door at 6:50 p.m., he specifically told me that he had just then heard running water in my bathroom. When I told him that I had been on the phone since 6:23 p.m. and that I was out of the shower about 5 - 10 minutes prior to calling my sister, and that then there was no way he could have just heard water running in my bathroom, BECAUSE THERE WAS NO WATER RUNNING, he changed his story. He then told me that he had been here earlier (at 6:00) and had to go outside. Then he tried to say that he had heard the water running from the hallway at that time. HE COULD HAVE AT LEAST TRIED TO KEEP HIS STORY STRAIGHT AND GIVE ME AN HONEST ANSWER. WHEN I TOLD HIM IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO HEAR RUNNING WATER AT 6:50 P.M., HE CONVENIENTLY CHANGED HIS ACCOUNT OF THE EVENTS. I asked him, from where did he hear the running water. I think that is a reasonable and logical question to ask. He said that he could not say, it was a violation of tenant privacy. WHY WOULD HE NOT SAY EXACTLY WHERE THE WATER WAS RUNNING, IF HE WAS ACCUSING ME OF RUNNING THE WATER. UNLESS HE ALSO HEARD WATER FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE, THEN HOW WOULD IT BE A VIOLATION OF ANOTHER TENANT'S PRIVACY? ALSO, IF HE COULD NOT SAY, THEN I TAKE IT THAT HE COULD NOT DETERMINE WHERE THE WATER WAS RUNNING IN THE FIRST PLACE AND DECIDED TO HARASS ME. WHAT A BIG SURPRISE THAT IS. HARASS A MIDDLE-AGED WOMAN ON DISABILITY. THEN AGAIN, HISTORICALLY THAT IS WHAT YOU DO SO WELL AND THIS STUPOR APPEARS TO BE VERY WELL TRAINED IN YOUR COMPANY POLICIES AND PROCEDURES. HOW F'ING RIDICULOUS IS THAT? HE WAS TRYING TO ACCUSE ME OF RUNNING WATER WHEN I WAS IN FACT NOT. I told him that I thought he was lying.
I THEN asked him to come to my apartment right away, to perform the aforementioned experiment. I told him to come here immediately, upon which we would turn on the water in the bathroom, and listen for it outside the apartment door. He refused and said something along the lines of, have a good night, and hung up. IF HE WERE SO SURE THAT THE WATER HAD BEEN RUNNING IN MY APARTMENT, THEN HE SHOULD HAVE COME UP HERE AND LISTENED FOR HIMSELF, WITH ME AS A WITNESS, BUT HE REFUSED, WHICH MEANS TO ME THAT HE DOES NOT WANT TO BE PROVED WRONG.
Another point of interest, I had to telephone the stupor yesterday at 2:56 p.m. There was yet another loud altercation occurring in 401 and had been for some time. He told me that he would check it out. I told him that, while I was on the phone with him, I was not hearing anything, at that precise moment. Then I added that it was another reprieve, that could last for seconds or minutes, but that there is loud arguing going on there too frequently. I advised him that I am tired of hearing it.
I have sent COUNTLESS e-mails to you and filed many complaints over a period of months (since early November 2007) with the stupor about the noise and loud altercations in 401. YET, you do nothing about it. INSTEAD, he comes pounding on my door, because i may be taking a shower. THIS IS BLATANT HARASSMENT IN MY OPINION AND UTTERLY RIDICULOUS. I HAVE BEEN HERE SINCE AUGUST OF 1994. IN THAT TIME, THERE HAS NOT BEEN A SINGLE NOISE VIOLATION MADE AGAINST ME. I DON'T ARGUE AND SLAM DOORS. I HAVE NEVER PLAYED LOUD MUSIC OR HAD THE VOLUME ON THE TV SET HIGH. ANY GUESTS HAVE NEVER MADE NOISE DISTURBANCES. NEITHER I NOR ANY GUESTS OF MINE HAVE EVER HARASSED, INTIMIDATED, OR INTERFERED WITH THE DAILY ACTIVITIES OR LIVES OF ANY OTHER TENANTS. CONVERSELY, SOMEONE WHO CHERYL TRIES TO SAY WAS NOT GILBERT (who by the way is living here for months without a lease, because that would affect Dave's ODSP benefits) COMES POUNDING ON MY DOOR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT ON THE 17TH OF FEB., TERRIFYING ME, AND SHE TRIES TO SAY THAT, EVEN THOUGH ANOTHER TENANT SAW HIM GOING INTO 509, THAT IT WAS NOT HIM. I AM SURE THAT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THAT SITUATION AND EVEN MORE SURE THAT NOTHING WILL BE DONE.
WHAT THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO DO, LET YOUR EMPLOYEE HARASS ME AND THEN NOT TEST THE FACT THAT RUNNING WATER CANNOT BE HEARD FROM MY BATHROOM INTO THE HALLWAY? AM I SUPPOSED TO LET YOU BULLIES WALK ALL OVER ME, ESPECIALLY OVER SOMETHING AS RIDICULOUS AS THIS? DO I HAVE TO FIND ANOTHER LAWYER OR CALL THE NEWSPAPERS LIKE I DID WHEN YOU HARASSED ME IN 2006? I AM SURE THEY WOULD BE INTERESTED IN THE FACT THAT A TENANT IS BEING ACCUSED OF TAKING A SHOWER!
