Some things to know before renting in Hamilton Ontario
Wednesday August 7, 2019 – Maximum Pest Control returned to our apartment and treated for bedbugs (Doc 359). We were both exhausted from dealing with John’s crew and the bedbugs, but Marie met the exterminators and did all of the laundry herself because I had a medical appointment. Thursday, August 8, 2019 - On the …

To this point there have been at least fifteen complaints to police (at least 8 from our landlord and his crew) resulting in 14 responses, and charges being laid in two cases (against Jeremy Stamper). The tally is at 19 hours 0 minutes of hearing time at the LTB, in 15 hearings, two by telephone, thirteen in person (counting the Case Management Hearing and mediation session of May 19, 2017 as hearings). It has also used up 9 hours and 51 minutes of a mediator’s time. On the criminal side, it has used up whatever time the pre-enquete hearing used when process was issued on Pollington’s private complaint, and ne short appearance. Call it two hearings, 50 minutes of a judge's time.

I will fill in some specific incidents at a future date but for the most part the Pollingtons, Stampers and our landlords continued their harassment without any major changes in tactics.

The harassment escalates. The Stampers and Pollingtons begin involving other people not known to Marie or myself. To this point there have been at least fifteen complaints to police (at least 8 from our landlord and his crew) resulting in 14 responses, and charges being laid in two cases (against Jeremy Stamper). The tally is at 18 hours 45 minutes of hearing time at the LTB, in 14 hearings, two by telephone, eleven in person (counting the Case Management Hearing and mediation session of May 19, 2017 as hearings). It has also used up 9 hours and 51 minutes of a mediator’s time. On the criminal side, it has used up whatever time the pre-enquete hearing used when process was issued on Pollington’s private complaint, and ne short appearance. Call it two hearings, 50 minutes of a judge's time. The cops are increasingly hostile.
Just a little bullying douchebaggery from City Council...nothing to see here, folks. Move along now.
I read with some interest Councilor Terry Whitehead's opinion piece in the Hamilton Spectator on August 10, 2020 and the reply by two front line social workers. I'll post a copy of the text here, with commentary added in red: Communities should have their say on camps Hamilton provides comprehensive programming for housing and social …

This is a quick summary/placeholder post done on my phone. There was yet another LTB hearing, this time a telephone merits hearing for John's L2 eviction application. After a somewhat hapless Joe was brought up to speed (more on that later) over the weekend, Joe waited until the last minute to ask for the application …

“Our job is crime prevention,” Deputy Chief Bergen told reporters. “And if people are feeling comfortable enough to affix graffiti or paint or anything like that onto statues or onto our roadways, that is a criminal code offence or mischief.”
