Sticky Situation - Was late for rent a couple days - Landlord wants ME to cover late
Hello guys.
I'm currently at my wits end with my landlord in the house i rent a room in. Need some advice! Im in scarborough. Apparently the place was a scene of a drug related shooting back in 2011 that i just read about now....
Facts:
-Paid first and last on June 29, july 1
-Signed no lease whatsoever
-Was paid on September 1 by direct deposit (holiday monday),
-lost bank card august 31 - no bmo branches open on sundays where i am
-got card replaced on september 2nd but didnt know it wasnt working right until Thursday (sept 4) (using company card to pay for lunches and such)
-Went to the bank to fix my card, paid the landlord the 500 that was owed to her for rent today (sept 5).
-Kept receipt of deposit from CIBC branch that it was done to
Now shes freaking out that I still owe her $250 more due to her mortgage bouncing because of me not being able to pay the rent on time.
Now, keep in mind, im in the process of looking for another place to live based on other situations as follows:
-She constantly states out loud on several occaisions that she wants to kill herself over stupid things - not sure if its joking or not but sounds serious enough to warrant some thought about moving
-when shes angry at someone she states that she wants to stab the person.. again not sure if joking or not but warrants enough to think about safety.
-She let someone stay there for free for two months before and even when i was there. - i have no
-on days of excessive heat she does not turn on AC - house is a literal death trap during the hotter summer days and nights especially when its hotter by 15-20 degrees inside than it is outside.
-need a place that will take funds right from my bank account on a set date to avoid this scene again.
What should I do, Do i?
-let her keep the 500 and still stay there in the conditions i listed above and pay the 250 extra?
-pack my stuff and go to CIBC with my receipt demanding my money back because of inablility to live in the place any longer?
-give 30 days notice and stay but part time as ive been offered other places to live since everyone ive talked to about my current situation says i should get the hell out of there asap.
Need your opinions.
