| Disappointed Look |
It’s that time of the year again rent review. I received my package in the mail the first Friday of August and took a few hours to get photocopies, obtain print outs and fill in the necessary documents. No big deal right! Then after examining the UNH’s documents I notice a few omissions plus I have tenant related questions to ask. The following Tuesday I asked the KMHC receptionist could I speak to Crystal a member of the UNH’s administration regarding the annual rent review.
Three days later the receptionist said I will have to send a
fax to the administration office on the reason I need to speak to Crystal. I’m getting suspicious and annoyed with the office
run around. Never the less on Saturday I
sent a fax to UNH’s administration dept.
I waited another week and I never received a response back, I was completely ignored
and I'm not happy. Approaching the rent
review deadline my next step is to contact Hamilton Community legal Clinic for
advice. After reading all documents and
my statement, the paralegal advised me to ‘do
my part’ by obtaining and fill out the necessary forms and documents. Get photocopies for my records and
have a trusted friend sign as a witness.
Any changes the landlord must inform me in writing. Yesterday all paperwork was signed and ready for delivery.
End of story eh!…nope not yet. The rent review package is to be sent to
Candlewood Drive the deadline is Aug 25/17. I refuse to send open pages of personal
information via fax and I don’t trust postal delivery so I decided to deliver
the package personally. After lunch with
a friend at Van Wagner Blvd. we set the GPS car system to Candlewood
Drive. I drove up Centennial Pkwy to
Rymal Rd made a few right turns and Volia! We’re there.
I was expecting Ingrid and Christine to come running out of the office snarling & barking like wild hyenas anxious to eat me. :D lol
In reality when I arrived at Kenatah Complex rental office, the
door was locked, closed in the middle of the afternoon yet the van was in the
parking lot. The local tenants helped when asked where's the staff. The office entrance reminds
me of a cheap front desk motel the kind
you see along a lonely highway, complete with laundry room to the left, a dark
stairway to the basement (probably a dungeon) and tenant rules posted on the
wall signed by UNH’s Acting Director. I assume
it’s a good location for families yet I wouldn’t live there. I’m an urban Native, not suburban. After I arrived back to KMHC I dropped off
the package with the receptionist, she accepted it and I left. On so
many levels I’m disappointed with Urban Native Home Inc. administration staff. :(
Other news – Tenant aunt Opie was using sleazy tactics. Six months ago the attempt to dig up dirt on UNH’s
acting director and her family’s past by e-mailing the Winnipeg RCMP and
Winnipeg Free Press is appalling. Next
e-mailed a complaint to my internet service provider. About three weeks ago I received a phone call from the representative of my internet service provider. I was informed he did an investigation on this blog site
and found no terms of use are violated and no rules are broken. During our conversation he describe the person's complaint to be unrealistic and erratic and recommend I inform the landlord. In the meantime he’ll send a reply back to the person not
the bother the internet service provider with false complaints. In the end I thanked him for the call. Along with old blog posts I decide to delete
Big Changes blog and saved copies in my p.c.
