789.0. "Apartments/KAO" by EARRTH::GERSTENBERG () Fri Feb 04 1994 09:32

    
    
    I will be working in KAO for about 3 months and I was 
    wondering if anyone could give me pointers on where
    to find a furnished apartment. I am in Maynard now, 
    and was hoping to do some preliminary calling around before
    I got there. 
    
    Any suggestions, areas to live, agencies to call,
    etc would be appreciated,
    
    Thank you in advance,
    Lisa

    Hello Lisa,

    If you want to live close to KAO, try calling

    Urbandale Corp.	Head Office - (613) 731-6331
    			Kanata - Cederock Gardens - 733-4077
    			Kanata - Tamara Court - 592-0548

    These were the only ones that listed Kanata in the yellow pages which
    is where KAO is located.

    Hope this helps.

789.2the new "pet law"?EARRTH::GERSTENBERGThu Feb 10 1994 16:0614
    
    Could anyone tell me about the new "pet law" in Canada?
    I talked to a "Home Locators" and he mentioned that there is
    a new law, that "they" cannot discriminate against pet owners.
    
    Not sure who they is, I talked to a rental office, and they said,
    "all I can say is that the lease says no pets". I am assuming that
    if I pushed it, I could live there. Others tell me straight out
    that pets are not accepted.
    
    Any clarification would be appreciated.

789.3OTOOA::OTOP19::AndersonIs this the sink? Am I shrinking?Fri Feb 11 1994 09:316
Hi,
	When I signed a lease last July, with a large builder/rental company in Ottawa, the contract 
clearly said "No Pets".
	However, with no prompting from me, the company rep said that this clause was no longer valid, 
and if I wished I could strike it out. The only remaining condition was that if neighbours complained about 
the pet, "you may be asked to leave".

Reformatted to 80 character width for those noters using character cell
terminals ...  

(Those noters using windows of one sort or another, please ensure that you
don't overflow the 80 characters!)

Re .-1
	Doesnt everyone have a PC? ;-)

	Whats a "character cell terminal"? Seem to recall my GrandPa talking 'bout these... ;-)

	Seriously though, I dont understand. Are you suggesting that if I use the Windows front-end
	to Notes, and dont hit return every 80 chars, then VT-users see just one line of text, or
	something equally screwy?

And to answer the question ... Yup ... messed up lines that no-one can read.
Even for those of us running notes from a DECterm, the results are the same
(I HATE the windows user interface to Notes ...)

You've gotta pretend that you are on a VT220/320/420/510 whatever.  'cause
lots of us still have to use em!

    One of the basicrule of landlord tenant law is that lots of stuff in
    the lease is not actually legal. It's perfectly legal for a landlord to
    say No Pets and deny rental to anyone admitting they have a pet.
    However once you've moved yourself and your pet in (even if you said
    you didn't have a pet) there is very little that the landlord can do, 
    they must demonstrate that your specific pet (and not pets as a concept) 
    negatively affects the enjoyment of other tenants or damages the property, 
    in court, very long, very messy for the landlord.
