Is that guy outside an idiot? "noise ordinance" WOW! Yes, she has a right to sing as a tenant she appeared reasonable and considerate and was not afforded the same. The defendant appeared to be rude; her own statement shows that! She also was hesitant in her responses which tells me she thinking her responses over. However, when you're telling the truth one should be able to recall without hesitation for the most part. Moreover, the plaintiff has no obligation to say hello to her! The defendant was being a bully as she wanted to exercise her own liberties (playing her music, yoga, working from home in common spaces etc.) but didn't afford the plaintiff the same civil liberties! She also wanted courtesy extended to her from the plaintiff but didn't give her the courtesy of letting her know that there was someone else who was going to be moving in.

[@smarttrout5562]

No. There are no rights at play here. She does not have a right to indulge in disturbing the peace of the house. However there could have been a peaceful arrangement made. I love singing but practicing those scales every morning would have been annoying.

plaintiff NEEDS! her own apartment!

She should have informed the defendant about her practices. However the defendant didn’t handle this problem well, especially with a real estate license.

Good on Nicola. She's a beauty who is lovely, talented, gracious and polite, unlike the defendant who sells herself as immature and entitled. Nicola deserves far better than this piece of work for a roomie. IMO

[@johng669]

Yes, David. I don't blame you for keeping an eye on her after that amazing back stretch.

[@VirtualLunacy]

every time someone tells me they're going to move in with a roommate (or, god forbid, multiple roommates), I advised them to spin up youtube and watch Judge Judy and The People's court episodes about roommate issues.

[@ct6410]

Bless. Plaintiff is trying so hard to lean into that little bit of London she has picked up in her accent but the Oop Nahth can’t be buried! 😂 Love from a half-American/half-Brit! 💚

[@ct6410]

Also, defendant definitely said what plaintiff claims because “sublet” is not the term used in the UK. Highly doubt plaintiff would have come up with that phrasing if she were lying.

[@Maninawig]

From what I know, here in Canada, anytime you do more than chill in the house (run a home based business, have a dog, practice singing/playing an instrument, etc) you should mention your requirements while applying for the place, as you are asking someone to limit their freedoms to accomodate your choises. It sounds aweful put that way, but it is about managing expectations... What if the plaintiff had tenitis? Should she have to suffer for 60 days because the defendant did not mention her singing needs?

[@brendenvarty3266]

Canada does not have one set of laws governing tenant rights. It varies by province/territory.

[@Maninawig]

@@brendenvarty3266 true, but I have yet to find a tennant legality that allows "entering a contract under false pretenses" which is the legal action a landlord can claim such acts under. Learned that due to owning a dog. Basically, the concept I was stating is that one should explain their uncommon or jargon based needs while applying for housing.

[@brendenvarty3266]

@@Maninawig In Toronto, the landlord cannot legally put a no pets clause in the lease. Any such clause is void, even if signed.

[@brendenvarty3266]

Condo boards are a different game

[@Maninawig]

@@brendenvarty3266 true, but if your dog is a yappy bitch (legal term), they can refer to the fact that you did not warn them before hand as a reason for eviction. The dog is not the issue, but the issues your particular dog is causing, such as the yapping causing your neighbour to fear passing your door in the hallway to get to their appartment.

[@mss627]

All they had to do was agree on what hours she could practice. I'm sure the plaintiff would have accommodated her. The problem people have with sharing their hoimes/appartments is that they think being the owner makes them the ultimate authority. It doesn't. When someone is paying you to live in your home they have the same rights as any other tenant.

The defendant is stuck up and used to getting her way.if singing bothered her she could have said something the first time she heard it and worked out a good time to do it, the lady didn't mind sitting on the roof to do it if it helped.

My wife can get all the high notes, and sometimes she shows off, one day we were going down the road and listening to CDs and all of a sudden I hear this high shrill, and I slammed on the brakes and swerved off to the side of the road and I thought something had happened to her, and I get stopped and looked over and she was alright, and kind of smirking, then I told her not to do that when I'm driving, we'll have an accident! 🤣
