I will be EVICTED on April 1, 2024 if I can’t pay $5000 for my lawyer immediately.
I am a 60 yr old man, with Dyslexia and ADHD, and have lived and worked as interior designer out of my apartment since 2013. My landlord developed dementia during Covid and his daughter took over care of his properties. My rent is very low and the daughter has been harassing me, trying to evict me so she can raise the rent significantly. I am not efficient with the use of email and for my first LTB hearing I had only 7 days notice and my PIN Code to access Tribunal Portal didn’t work. This was confirmed by a legal aid worker. Without access I couldn’t get case files or hire legal council. The LTB denied my request to adjourn hearing so I could deal with this problem. And without any evidence from landlord the LTB Ordered my Eviction. I set up Review Hearing and was denied again a proper hearing. Neither Order mentioned the faulty PIN Code. The stress of these hearings and the Covid lockdowns was affecting my work and my income was diminishing. I filed an Appeal with Divisional Court, using what funds I had left and the case was dismissed because the lawyer I hired didn’t inform me of the proceedings schedule. Then a Sherif Vacate order was sent for April 1st. With just a few weeks to find another lawyer and the costs increasing a new Appeal was filed. But my lawyer requires $5000 to perfect the Appeal in the next few days. I can not afford to move and the stress has caused me serious emotional and physical damage and depression. My case against the LTB and my landlord’s daughter is very good. Please help or my fate is dim only because of a lack of funds. Their is no Justice in that. PayPal @ChristianSPare
