EDIT: Landlord responded by kicking us out (refusing to renew the lease even after having already offered to renew it). So be careful if you try this at home.

Gonna send this email to landlord, please copy, adjust and send to yours as well:

Hello,

I am writing to make some ground rules known, to be followed from here on out.

I will not be taking phone or voicecalls, as you have made it clear that I need everything in writing. You have not kept your word in the past. I expect that to change.

I will not be answering the same questions over and over again. If I have gone to the trouble of informing you of issues or even provided pictures and videos, I expect you to refer back to my email or text before asking me to provide the same information again. You can ask for clarifications if needed.

Unless specified otherwise, I give permission for you to share the information I have given you whith the relevant people needed to adress the issue, for example repair people, contractors, plumbers, chimney sweep. In fact you need to let them know what their tasks will be and make sure they come prepared, equipped and with enough human power and time to safely complete the necessary tasks.

I am not your slave driver. If a contractor arrives again unprepared and underequipped for the work at hand, I will not ask them to endanger their health by doing the task anyway.

You need to give me a reasonable amount of time to answer your questions before restating them. If a matter is not urgent, I may take a full work day to respond. If the matter is trivial, I may take two weeks. If I cannot give an answer yet, I will wait until I can actually answer your question (for example: "Was the problem fixed?" can only be answered after the contractor has had time to fix it).

I am willing to keep you up to date on the issues with the property, but you also need to fulfil your duties as owner and landlord. I am not going to go out of my way to do your work for you.

I also need you to give me the relevant information I need in order to fulfill my own duties as tenant. It would have been useful to get the contact information or at least company names of the usual services (trash collection, septic tank emptying, chimney sweep). I did ask about these upon moving in.

Mayor says city should repair buildings if landlords don't, but it hasn't in years
After recently touring an apartment building badly in need of repairs, the mayor sent a message to landlords: if they can’t repair their property, the city should do the work themselves and send them a bill. But a city report shows it hasn't used that power in years.

Two Florida attorneys break their residential lease and leave the house in disrepair. Nine years later, appeals court restores jury verdict for landlord. Changing locks and staging house held not inconsistent with “standing by and doing nothing.”

Hamilton landlord fined $100K for illegal renovictions that had 'devastating' impacts on tenants, court hears
"That's a good place to start to show the landlords of Ontario they can't just throw their tenants out," Darlene Wesley, who lived in the building for nearly 20 years, told CBC Hamilton.

Bridgewater's energy-efficiency pilot program going unused by landlords
About five months after the Town of Bridgewater launched a pilot program offering incentives for landlords to make energy-efficient upgrades to their buildings, no landlords have taken up the offer.

This one has an MO where she tries to grab all the bond money at the end of each tenancy, hoping students won't fight back. I'll bet she gets away with that fraud more often than not. As Critic says:

"Karen has been awarded thousands of dollars from her tenants’ bonds over the past two years."

With multiple houses, she'll have done well out of Luxon's handouts to landlords. Whereas for the mould and decay alone, MBIE should have come down on her like a ton of bricks.

Bring back public stocks!
