i haven't called yet, but it's clear enough what's going on.

i have no tolerance for this at all and will almost immediately jump to calling it in. it's a criminal offense in ontario to turn off water services - and i will have the landlord charged and convicted, with no second thoughts at all.

i will charge them twice, even.

1) harassment: It is an offence to threaten a tenant, interfere with a tenant, or pressure a tenant to move out of a rental unit.

2) withholding services:  It is an offence to withhold or interfere with the reasonable supply of a vital service, which includes hot or cold water, fuel, electricity, natural gas and (during certain times of the year) heat.

i already gave them second and third chances.

this will be followed by a second civil suit, seeking full rent abatement since april 1st, which will be $2679.64.

and, because of the malicious nature of their behaviour, i will win this in full.

should have thought it through, huh, old man? now you've got a criminal record and a $2700 bill coming up because you couldn't control your anger.

dipshit.

she has a very short time window to work this out and make it right.
