I am renting an apartment and my lease ends at the end of September. I am moving earlier than that date because of the level of noise coming from the neighbours plus the lack of security for this building.

I was planning on honouring my contract but that's an extra $6k to pay out for a space I won't be using. I'm wondering if I'll have to pay a half a month's rent for each month I leave if I'm leaving for mental health/health reasons.

I've filed multiple complaints through the rental company to the strata about the people upstairs. They've gotten better but still wake me up regularly. I've written two long letters explaining how disruptive their noise has been. I've written out a weeks worth of loud noises I hear through the day and night. They vacuum 3 times a day (even at 4am). The male wears heavy boots the entire time and constantly drops stuff on the floor instead of putting it down. They move furniture at all hours. Their teenager drops weights on the floor starting at 6am.

I don't know if this makes a difference but I'm medically retired and spend a lot of time sick in bed. I have sleep issues so the fact they wake me up several times a week has had a negative affect on my health.

I will be telling them I will not finish the contract and will be moving at the end of next month. I'm hoping to learn of my rights so I can word my letter appropriately.

Will they legally be able to hold my security & damage deposits?

Thank-you.

Hi. I recently bought a condo and the mailbox key was not given to me. The realtors say they don't have it nor does the previous owner.

I was told to call a locksmith. I sent one place a message but they haven't responded. I figured I should go with a recommendation since this is a specific job. Has anyone had this happen?

I just moved to Goldstream village and noticed there's car alarms that go off throughout the day everyday. Today it was 4 times. The last one happened around 10pm and went off for about 4-5 min. Earlier one went off for over 10.

I think it's absolutely bonkers that this is a regular occurrence. Does anyone know why this is happening? Is it a new thing? My guess is at least one is from an owner who lives here and others are maybe from customers of businesses nearby. The police station is a block away, I can't imagine someone's trying to break into cars to steal them all day long.
