I am in Ontario and previously admitted that I was smoking pot (they caught me) and then discussed with the landlord that I wouldnâ??t do it on the property to which he didnâ??t seem to have any problem. Afterwards the other tenants began to complain that the hallway smelled threatened to leave (break their lease) which led to the landlord issuing me this form. The form clearly states that I was no longer using drugs on the premise thereby establishing this on record.
The real argument here is whether I have â??substantially: interfering with reasonable enjoyment and if smoking off the property would even be in the jurisdiction of the board. I honestly think that if I would win a hearing but would prefer to explain to the landlord why he has no case in order to save me the trouble.
I also want to make sure that if the landlord or upstairs tenants come and talk to me again that I handle it in the best possible way. I was thinking that I would just spray myself with a lot of axe before coming in the door so that they canâ??t smell it and so I can deny I have done anything.
