*sigh* I just went to pay my half of the rent for november, and was informed that there is still almost half a month owing for october.

Well, noone told me. And my roomate, although he doesn't have the best track record, had said that he paid it.

The thing that makes it even more confusing, is that.. ok let me try to explain this in a way that wont confuse you all lol.

We live in a building where our superintendants live below us. But our landlord/owner actually owns the restaurant where my roomate worked, up until he got suddenly laid off with no warning two weeks ago. He had been paying the rent directly to the owner at the restaurant.

now they are claiming that 192.00 wasnt paid last month.

Well, some of you know my roomate doesnt have the best track record, but considering that they laid him off so suddenly, and they have tried to kick us out on false terms before, something in this stinks of not being right. I havent talked to the roomate yet as he is working at his new job. I'll have to find out if he actually got a receipt, but until he was laid off suddenly(they also ripped him off a weeks pay, which he now has to go through the labour board for) i dont think he would have because it didnt even seem like an issue.

These are the same superintendants that also claimed that if we were on welfare again when he got laid off they would find a way to kick us out since we would be poor.. even though we could still afford the rent.

To make matters worse, my roomate is not going to have his half of the rent until two weeks from now when he gets his first pay. Thats not entirely his fault though and it stems from them laying him off.

I dont know, I just had to rant about this because better out then in right? Something just doesn't feel right to me here, someone is lying and I don't have a way to find out who. And I certainly am not paying it! I am on a very tight budget with my assistance now and planning for the baby.

Le sigh
