Elaine and I are being taken to arbitration over the
window thing. No big surprise there. I'm going to fight it. This also means the gloves are off. I'm filing for arbitration for a monetary compensation for the loss of use and "quiet enjoyment" of our apartment during the renovations. In the letter, which was ignored, I nicely asked for nothing more than the loss of use and hard costs for things that have been broken. Today we'll be filing for that
plus compensation for the loss of quiet enjoyment and a few more minor items that have cropped up since I first wrote the letter, coming to a total of more than double what I originally asked for when I was still being nice about all this. I am sufficiently pissed off that I don't care about pissing off the landlord anymore.

Date: 2004-08-28 11:09 am (UTC)I am assuming that the issue is the height of the windowsill, which is sufficiently low your landlord fears someone may fall.
The thing we have been chuckling about here is the height of our windowsills -- precisely 26" off the floor. Take into account, we live in a highrise (long way to the ground), and our windows -- when fully opened -- provide ample room out of which to fall (http://www3.telus.net/convergence/ssin/windows.jpg). We don't even have significant depth to our windowsills -- maybe 3" at most.
The whole arbitration thing should be interesting -- depending on what happens in the coming week we may be facing a similar fight with our landlord.
