Of course the damn gov't phone line is closed when people actually have these problems...
Quick question, we went through a dispute with our landlord, basics - mouse infestation; & after 9 months they refused to call an exterminator in "theres a park across the street - they come in". Wife was pregnant, this was not a good match & our relationship with this landlord had gotten extremely confrontational (They were in for monthly inspections, coming onto property without notice blah blah blah).
We were bad yes, canceled novembers rent cheque; advised we would be moving december 1st - take our damage deposit as last months rent (there's more to this - walk through inspection is null/void - thus she can't hold anything from it), she gave us an eviction notice for the 21st; went to the dispute resolution service, they filed a judgement for $1085 for 1st-22nd rent...
Movers did some damage on move out (two holes in the wall - elliptical trainers apparently should be torn down before being moved - pedal & arm thing made some smallish holes).
Never heard anything from them through november, december... No accounting of the damage deposit, I just decided to move on with life; not wanting to deal with her anymore.
Today I get a letter from the bank - "Garnishee summons" For the 1085 (+65$ for filing fee or whatever) - what I'm assuming she's kept the damage deposit to cover...
Where do I go from here, the summons doesn't say anything about appealing; queens bench is closed...
Thanks in advance,
Andy
