Dealing with a Commercial Slumlord in Toronto too many issues to list....
Seeking advice on steps I should take as my store has been without heat past month and after several attempts to make cheap repairs on a 10 year old boiler that apparently hasnt been maintained as stated by last repair guy who attempted to fix ..I am now less than a week away and there doesnt seem to be a plan on how to amend this situation Ive tried calling a few lawyers but due to holidays Im stuck til Jan 3 ....so paid rent in Toronto December ...no heat ..very excited to pay January with no eta on rectifying  this lease infraction....my landlord seems adverse to replacing so  Any advice would be greatly appreciated Thanks
