An Extra Room Was Offered

EVIDENCE IN SEXUAL HARASSMENT: Regarding my original landlord/tenant matter which had been in question, the Province of Ontario had understood I was being evicted because the landlady found out the rental unit was officially too small, according to regulations, for my young son and me. They thought any other concept or accusation from my side was ridiculous! But, as recorded in an official tape recording produced by the housing tribunal, the lady had an extra room adjoining my unit; and she had offered it to me under certain conditions. Then she withdrew her offer and wanted me to move out! Lawyers know there are rules and laws which apply to sexual remarks, stated or implied, and they know the extra room would have made a significant difference to my case! I don't wish to debate the case further here--an explanation was given at the beginning of this blog--but I wanted to point out the extra room, for people who didn't have knowledge of it and were still concerned. *** For the record, I had contacted the property standards office in the city where the above rental unit was located. They told me their measurements of buildings were flexible--that sometimes bathrooms, hallways, closets, etc. weren't included.--But they could be included. If the maximum space had been counted in my apartment, there would have been only 15 square feet less than the requirement.--That's about a 3' x 5' space--not very much! And the extra room would have provided more than what was required even with the most severe measurements taken. [But I'm not debating the matter.--Comments are recorded on tape, if anyone would like to hear them. And I've given an explanation previously, as I stated.]
