yeah, having the breaker panel to an apartment locked up and not accesible is a serious code violation and would prolly get him a couple thousand dollar fine from the city building inspector

and in most states he can't evict you for that

canadians are weird

I'm sure there are, too. Problem is we don't know what they are. frown

This is a good warning for tenants everywhere. Know your rights!!! Before you need them!

I would call em a few times more. they log those calls and if something happens and you are on record for calling a couple of times then you have a papertrail

Plus, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Sometimes they'll help you just to get you to shut up.

Yikes, get your valuables and papers in a bag by the door and be ready to go in case. Or even better, leave now.

if u are sure that u are unsafe u do not have to pay your rent till it is fixed to my knowledge.. u can have a couple of electricians come out take a look at it.. write that down.. also take pictures.. he can not evict u for that!
