FUNERAL EXETER 235-1220 V SERVICE ASSOCIATION My rent was increased in June the legal 8% but in August the buildings were sold and the new owners applied and got a new increase of $46.00 per month. In order to justify this, they are making certain alterations to the buildings and property, it seems obvious to me, that the new landlord could resell the buildings at considerable profit, This case may be out of your reach by now, but your opinion would be very much apprecicited. You do not state if you were made aware of the Rent Review Hearing, but you certainly SHOULD have been, and that would have been the time and place to register any complaints. The new owners of an apartment building are also restricted to an 8% increase, unless they can prove that due to the expense of bringing a building "up to par", that a further increase is warranted, the# they are allowed to apply for an increase over and above the 8%. Obviously this was successfully done in your case. The only re-course left to you at this stage, is to contact the , REGIONAL DIRECTORoof The Rent Review Board in Queens Park, Toronto, stating your case to him, and if you were NOT notified about the original hearing, then STRESS this to him as this could weigh favourably for you. Hwy. 4 & Huron Pk. Rd RESTAURANT COFFEE BAR Fast Take Out * * Groceries Variety GAS for LESS! I am completely exasperated over an apparently minor problem I've had with a well known catalogue firm. Here are the details regarding my problem; Last March I ordered from this firm, a complete table tennis set. This, naturally included the table which was supposed to fold up for easy storage when not in use. The set arrived on time, but the table doesn't fold because a metal bar that should have been included, wasn't! • When I phoned to tell them about this they promised to send one right away. They were true to their word, but the bar that we received was too short for our table. Believe it or not, but this same thing has now been repeated on two more occasions. Three different bars and all the wrong size! Perhaps you'll have better luck with this firm than we've had. It appears that fhe people who have been trying to solve your legitimate complaint are almost as exasperated as you, however on our suggestion, they have agreed to solve the "mystery", once and for all, by shipping you out a brand new table, complete of course, with the correct metal bar. We checked with our reader who tells us that, "all is now well," and, she says "I've regained my sanity." FREE Snow Blower Bolens With Purchase of ANY TRACTOR OPEN 237-3456 OmEL 5;n 10.6 Towards the end of last winter I purchased a coat, ( it's supposed to be leather) for $125.00. The reason I bought it was because it was reduced in price due to it being a "season's clearance." I didn't wear it much last year and when I put it away I thought that it did show some wear, but I more or less forgot it until recently when I decided to wear it this winter. As soon as the girls where I work Saw it, they were ap- palled that it was so bad and the hem was all unglued and they told me I should return it. This I did, but the woman in charge of the department said that it was only a $75.00 coat and that the wear probably came from the steering wheel of my car. All I know it what I paid for it, and that I was told that it would last for years! The store hopes that you're satisfied for years because they have agreed to issue you a credit note in the amount of $125.00 for the leather coat that couldn't take it. T. Pryde Ltd.
