so, the check cleared today.

i guess it took her a few days to cash it.

that's ok.

i called the odsp worker around 10:00; she claims she didn't get an estimate from the mover. i talked her into submitting the applications without the direct payment, but she was very weird about it, and i'm not sure she actually did; i'll have to call around 3:30 to see.

so, i called a different mover, and he said he'd send me a quote over email before 2:00. no quote, yet. ugh.

i want to wait before i call teksavvy...

so, i wanted this dealt with by the end of the day. it looks like today was just a big waste of time, instead. *sigh*.

to her benefit (of the doubt), this number seems to have a history as a landlord going back a few years.

so, this is either a repeat scam artist, or an agent in a cult, or legit.
if this is not legit, this person is going to have to deal with the following:

1) i signed a lease.
2) i put down a balance.
3) i'm going to get the city of windsor to write her a check for $700.
4) i've got the local electrical company hooking me up.
5) i'll need to get the internet transferred in the morning, too.

that's a lot of people to help me in figuring out who owns the building, who this person is and what the fuck is going on.

again: this is not what i want to be doing. but, this is life. and i can;t change it.

i'm going to lose most of the day today, but i should get the whole day tomorrow to get through most of inri065, and get started on the comps.
so, i found a facebook page linking to a company that bought this building in 2009, but that company no longer exists. it appears to have been shut down by the ontario government in 2013 for a securities violation. the building appears to have been managed by the management company with the human rights violations around 2011, when there was a fire in the basement. i have no further relevant information.

i'd be willing to accept the idea that it's just a holding company for a local person, but she said that the company is in british columbia, indicating they own multiple properties. you would expect a website...

the address on the form is occupied by somebody with the same name as the person that signed the check. but, some further sleuthing from local obituaries suggests that this person is quite a bit older than the person i met.

i could always call that number and see if it rings to the same person. but, this cell # is consistent and should be sufficient in identifying the person i signed the lease with, if i have to do that.

there is also a new unit for rent at that address with the same number - which could just as easily mean that the two buildings are owned by the same company and they have a common landlord as it could mean anything else.

i need to have this check cleared by friday. if it's not, i have to file on monday. and, i could very well call the number from a pay phone.

ugh.

well, this is life, for me. it's always been life, for me. it's just one absurd tragedy after another. but, this really seems strangely orchestrated.

i'm fully expecting to have to cause problems at odsp in the morning.

i also have to mail the oesp form...

but, i'm going to get something to eat and at least finish the last aleph, first. i'll give the office a call around 9:00 and go from there.
so, i don't even know what the hell is going on, but i'm starting to get alarmed, and concerned that i may have to file this appeal, after all.

i got my respondent's letter respecting evidence in the mail, today. i suspect the lawyer didn't look into the situation very closely, as he's trying to rule out evidence that was used in court under the argument that it wasn't served on the landlord. i actually have until the 4th to file, but i should know what's going on by the 29th.

i thought i was just being overly cautious in waiting the situation out before i informed by landlord of an intention to leave. see, if i tell them i'm leaving, and something doesn't pan out, i'm in a lot of trouble. so, it's better for me to be quiet until i actually get the keys. my due diligence is in getting the keys as quickly as possible.

however, my down payment hasn't gone through yet. i called my bank, and they're telling me there's no evidence it was cashed. i called the landlord yesterday and she told me she cashed it. i have a receipt, and a lease, right?

the company on the lease does not exist on the internet, which basically means they don't exist at all. what the fuck? i need to figure out who owns this building...

i went to odsp yesterday; my worker was gone last week, so i had to wait until she came back. she tried to get me to sign a direct deposit form, which i thought was a little odd, and that she'd fax the information afterwards. so, i called the city directly and they told me that she actually can't do that, and she's supposed to call them. so, i'm going to have to go in tomorrow and demand that we call the city together, and i'm listening in on the process. and, if she won't, i'm going to have to go over her head, somehow.

i also called some moving people that were referred to me by the city, and they said they'd call the worker directly, which is odd. i'll find out tomorrow if they called the worker or not.

it feels like i'm dealing with some kind of local cult that's out to get me, or something. it's very strange, to say the least.

maybe it all aligns properly in the next 48 hours.

but, if that check doesn't clear soon, i'm going to have to get the documents ready.
