The Psy.co Story.




I hired a lawyer to send her a legal letter so that my husband doesn't get lung cancer...so that we can leave the building for a few months.
I am stupid, because I assumed that lawyers would send letters requesting things that are legally required. Nope.
At least he was nice and saved my life...

Here's the full story.















But Nope.
She's insane.
or broke lol.


This is her first reply... to the letter above.
Her original email was English but NOPE, her letter replied to the lawyer was in French (translated by AI below).
the lawyer told me several times that he thinks her letters are AI.
lol.

there are about 3 more insane letters.

The lawyer told me I don't have to sign her final letter.

(Oh, also, SHE Blind copied the lawyer on this reply and sent him a different letter)









Montréal, June 17, 2026
By email
Subject: Formal Notice (Mise en demeure) – Breaches of the lease, unsanitary conditions, damages, false statements, and unlawful appropriation of outdoor areas
Madam,
I am the owner of the duplex located at 5325–5327 Earnscliffe Avenue, and the occupant of dwelling 5325. (Occupant? LOL)

This letter is sent to you as a formal notice regarding several breaches of your obligations under the lease signed on May 1, 2012, the Civil Code of Québec, and the rules of the building. Failing complete corrective action within the timeframe indicated below, these breaches will be invoked in support of an application before the Tribunal administratif du logement, specifically for lease termination, orders, and any other appropriate remedy.


1. Unsanitary conditions and cluttering of outdoor spaces -

It has been noted on multiple occasions that you leave various objects and bulky items in the outdoor and common spaces—under the balcony, on the low walls, and near the trash cans. This includes containers holding dirty water, car mats, a snowboard, a rain-soaked bag of cement (which we had to remove ourselves, and this also included open garbage bags without lids on the trash can), and other items abandoned without proper disposal. This state of clutter and neglect seriously harms the appearance and reputation of the building, creates a health and sanitation hazard, and violates your obligations as a tenant regarding cleanliness and the proper use of the premises.

I thought you wanted the fucking garage empty? Most of this shit belonged to Nick LOL

The balcony is mine. Not yours. LOL.

Harms the reputation of the building? Just wait , YOU are going to be the harm in the end. lol. Your kids are gonna leave, don't worry.


2. Improper garbage management



It has also been observed that the trash cans are frequently left open after use. This practice attracts animals, causes unpleasant odors, and compromises the hygiene of the premises. Such management of household waste is incompatible with your duties of normal maintenance and respect for the rented premises as well as the common areas.

Oh! it's illegal that squirrels eat out garbage! Oh no!! Poor them. Dang, we've never put garbage out,

3. Cluttering and improper use of the garage


The garage is currently cluttered with your personal belongings. This clutter demonstrates an improper appropriation of a space that is not leased to you for your exclusive use, and violates both the lease and the rules of the building.

I DO NOT OWN A FUCKING THING IN THE GARAGE LOL. IT'S ALL YOURS NOW. you own the building. You are insane. I'm sorry.



4. Improper use of common outdoor spaces




You are using multiple outdoor areas, specifically the low walls, the areas around the balcony, and certain areas visible from the street, as if they were private spaces reserved exclusively for you. However, these spaces are not leased to you for exclusive use; they must remain accessible and unobstructed for the owner and her daughter. Your behavior has the effect of restricting the enjoyment of these premises by others. [1]


I guess you haven't been here in a while have you? lol. Did you know that I was the person taking care of this entire property for the past 6 years? guess not, eh? lol. Has anyone on earth ever used this property? nope. lol.

I spent 1500 last summer on this property, wanna give it back to me? ;lol guess not eh lol


5. Unlawful appropriation of the garden

The lease clearly stipulates that you have a right of access to the yard, to be shared with the owner, and not an exclusive right. Despite this, you have installed a barbecue, a large table, umbrellas, armchairs, and various personal items in the garden—both under the balcony and on the railings—in a way that practically turns it into a private backyard. This appropriation of a shared-use space infringes upon my right to normal enjoyment of the garden and goes against the stipulations of the lease.

Oh, shit, I forgot it's illegal to put my barbaque where the original owner of this building told me to put it. LOL. The owner who signed the lease is dead, chick. the previous owner lives in Beaconsfield lol.  Not an exclusive right? huh? the lease says we share the back yard. that is a legal statement. you sound like a Trumper lol.

 Couldn't you have just offered me some money so you didn't have to prove to the world that you're insane?

...kinda sad to me.
and to your kids.


6. Presence of a dog in violation of the lease


The lease expressly provides that the tenant does not have the right to keep one or more animals. Despite this clause, you keep a huge dog, of the Saint-Bernard type, which is undeclared and unauthorized, and roams freely in the garden. This situation is the result of a false declaration made at the time of the conclusion or renewal of the lease and the purchase of my duplex, and constitutes a serious breach of your contractual obligations, in addition to infringing upon the peaceful enjoyment and cleanliness of the premises. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Omg, Nova roams freely in the garden? oh no.

8. Damages caused to the dwelling

Regarding damages to the dwelling, you are specifically accused of damaging a window frame through the installation and use of your air conditioner, which caused water infiltration, wood deterioration, and damages that must be repaired up to standard. In addition, there is a door with a broken glass pane; you had committed to having this repair carried out, which has not been done to date. These damages, which you acknowledged and which were documented during our visits, occurred under your responsibility and remain uncorrected.

When you visited this buillding, I showed you everything the owner didn't fix, that I fixed shit he didn't fix, and I showed you what we broke. It's all fixed now and the previous owner said he would pay for it but didn't.

Fuck him, he's an asshole too.

Fuck the world lady.

The broken glass pane on the door was fixed weeks ago, its in the garage. Did you look at it? Nope.

Been here 15 years, what have you not broken in the last 15 years? LOL



9. False statements and insurance

You did not declare to me that you own a dog,  As a result, I was unable to properly inform my home insurance provider, who established my policy on the basis of a "non-smoking" and "pet-free" building. This situation creates a serious risk to the validity and extent of my insurance coverage and constitutes a serious breach of your obligations of loyalty and cooperation toward the landlord. I also remind you that, despite my repeated requests, you have still not provided me with a copy of your tenant insurance, as provided for during the renewal of your lease for the current year.

Why the fuck would i declare we own a dog? You think I wanted my rent to double since I don't have a job? LOL.

Do I give a fuck about your home insurance? LOL.
MY obligations? LOL. You're supposed to give me money to move out during asbestos removal.
I'm guessing you finally learned this last week, which is why you haven't started yet LOL.

The previous owner has my insurance form, did he give it to you? Nope. Do I legally need to give it to you before July 1?
nope. you have it now.


10. Absence of acquired rights related to the tolerance of the former owner
Well if you would have just offered me 50% of our rent for a few months, maybe we would have stayed lol.


I wish to clarify that the previous owner allegedly allowed you to use the garden as a private backyard for your current purposes. I remind you that the tolerance of a former owner does not modify the contents of the lease, does not create any acquired rights (grandfathered rights), and cannot establish in your favour a right of exclusive use of the outdoor spaces.

11. Inspection and renovation mortgage

You sent me a letter saying it was starting in June.

Hasn't started yet ha ha LOLLLLLLLLL


Following the offer to purchase, a full professional inspection was carried out in your presence. This inspection highlighted the need for major work, which forced us to take the necessary steps to obtain a renovation mortgage, as the scale of the work exceeded our immediate financial means. These steps were required by the financial institution and were carried out transparently. Their sole purpose was to restore the building to proper condition and to satisfy our legal obligations regarding health and safety, without infringing upon your rights as a tenant. As owner...
As owner, I have the legal obligation to ensure the sanitation, safety, and good condition of the building.


And, you also have legal obligation to pay us to be out during asbestos removal and pay us to move eventually. But nope, you'd rather be a bitch. Even the real estate agent confirmed you were a bitch.

Sorry you bought an old building.




FORMAL NOTICE (MISE EN DEMEURE)
Consequently, in view of the foregoing, you are hereby formally ordered to:
  1. Remove all of your objects and bulky items from the outdoor and common spaces, including those under the balcony, on the low walls, and near the trash cans. Cost me 800 bucks, can you e-transfer it please?
  2. Ensure that the trash cans are systematically closed. LOL
  3. Completely clear the garage of your personal belongings. Been done since 2025... lol
  4. Stop using the common spaces as if they were private spaces. ? You gonna mow the lawn tomorrow?
  5. Remove the barbecue, table, umbrellas, armchairs, and any other personal items from the garden and the railings. From your balcony. Done. Cost me 800 bucks, remember?
  6. Stop letting your dog roam in the garden and take the necessary steps to comply with the lease clause prohibiting animals. She doesn't "roam" in the garden, she just poops in the garden. No more poop, all gone. Oh, and, It was ME who has been taking care of this property for over 5 years remember? LOL. Remember when the previous owner destroyed the lawn? Remember when I bought everything required to re-plant the grass and watered it every day? Oh sorry, you don't remember. All good.
  7. Stop all tobacco and cannabis consumption in the common areas and near the windows, so as not to inconvenience the other occupants. which occupants? me?
  8. Repair, at your expense, the window frame damaged by the installation of the air conditioner. Nope, the previous owner said he is paying. but i texted him asked for the 288, but he did not reply. fuck him. Could you imagine never doing one thing in 15 years and then selling a building for a million bucks that hasn't had a mortgage since 1952, and then not paying 2 hundred and 88 dollars to someone?
  9. Repair, at your expense, the broken glass of the door in question. i told Jose it's done. I'm guessing she didn't tell you cause she hates you lol.
  10. Fully comply with the clauses of your lease and the rules of the building, including the immediate submission of proof of your current tenant insurance. Sent in March. Nick hates you too LOL. (sorry)
  11. You have a period of ten (10) days from the receipt of this letter to comply with all of these requirements and to provide me with written proof thereof (photos, invoices, certificates, etc.). uhhhhh, no, sorry, that's BS. seems you have never been an owner before....
  12. Failing full compliance within the prescribed timeframe, I will file, without further notice, an application before the Tribunal administratif du logement seeking, notably, the termination of your lease, the issuance of the necessary orders, the payment of damages, if applicable, and any other remedy deemed appropriate. Go ahead! please. :) i'll fucking get money. lol.

You have a period of ten (10) days from the receipt of this letter to comply with all of these requirements and to provide me with written proof thereof (photos, invoices, certificates, etc.).
Failing full compliance within the prescribed timeframe, I will file, without further notice, an application before the Tribunal administratif du logement seeking, notably, the termination of your lease, the issuance of the necessary orders, the payment of damages, if applicable, and any other remedy deemed appropriate. [1]
This letter is made without prejudice and under full reserve of my rights, remedies, and claims, both contractual and legal. This formal notice shall serve as all required legal notices.
Please accept, Madam, the expression of my highest consideration.
Psy.co

Owner of the duplex and occupant of dwelling 5325

LETTER TWO:

We confirm that we accept the termination of the lease, but no compensation will be paid. This is not a renoviction.
You should know that the minimum legal notice period for a repossession is six months. We provided the form to Ms. Pothier out of pure courtesy, in order to facilitate communication and avoid any confusion. Ms. Pothier has also signed the official form from the Tribunal administratif du logement (TAL), which unequivocally confirms the expiry date of the lease and the family nature of the project. After indicating that she found the notice "too early," she took the form with her for consideration, then returned to slip the signed document under our door a few minutes later, of her own free will, on June 8, 2026. Apparently it's illegal for you to ask me to leave over a year in advance of the end of my lease.
The early termination of a lease normally incurs penalties payable by the tenant. We exceptionally agree to waive them. There is therefore no question of assuming moving expenses. fuck you. all my neighbours have paid people to leave.
Essential work must begin quickly. It will start in July and cannot be postponed, given the condition of the building and the damage already caused by the complete disconnection of the heating system. Sorry, nothing is mandatorily required.
Aware of the specific context of July 1st moves in Montreal, we take note that Ms. Pothier proposes to leave on October 1st. However, this date does not correspond to the expiry of her lease, which remains fixed at June 30, 2027. She can therefore remain until this expiry date if she wishes.  WHY the fuck would I stay in a building with you? lol

However, if she prefers to leave before June 30, 2027 — whether on October 1st or an earlier date — it is essential that she clearly communicate the chosen date to us. A sudden departure is impossible: major works require strict planning, safety measures, and coordination with multiple stakeholders. Such information cannot, therefore, be provided at the last minute, as the work will begin regardless.
LOLLLLLLLLLL your are a moron, it's the other fucking way around. It's YOU that required strict planning, safety measures and notifying us far in advance. Do you think WE give a FUCK about you renovating this building? LOL

We must also emphasize that the delays caused by the uncertainty surrounding Ms. Pothier's departure date are causing us to incur significant additional costs. LOL The specialized contractors we have retained are in high demand and require clear dates to maintain their availability. We have had to put several already scheduled interventions on hold, resulting in additional costs, notably for storage, the extension of our temporary housing, and delays for Ms. Lallemand in resuming her in-person work in Montreal.

BS. You don't have a permit yet, do you?
These damages stem directly from Ms. Pothier's sudden decision to question what had already been agreed upon, informed, and organized, which delayed the ongoing procedures and made the continuation of normal work planning impossible.
You will also understand that the demand for $2,000 is unacceptable, as it has no legal basis, and while we are showing good faith by accepting the options proposed by Ms. Pothier and waiving the normally applicable penalties. Absolutely legal basis, fucking moron.
We will not detail here the shortcomings already set out in our explanatory letter, although these are serious, documented, and perfectly well-founded in law. Ms. Pothier already benefits from great leniency on our part, but we will not, however, waste any more time trying to resolve a situation that should be simple, legal, and handled in good faith. We note, moreover, that your response does not address any of these shortcomings, even though they are essential to the case. Oh don't worry, you wasted alot of time writing these letters and making your son in law send them lol.
We also recall that several repairs must imperatively be carried out before Ms. Pothier's departure. yes, i'm leaving in august, all done. ya gotta shut up.

It is not only a matter of finalizing the repairs already started, but indeed of proceeding with all the corrective measures we have requested, notably: the repair of the wooden door whose glass was broken, as well as the restoration of the window frame damaged by an air conditioner that caused water infiltration and wood rot. Ms. Pothier and her daughter have acknowledged their responsibility for these damages. Lucky you that I was nice LOL. You think the TAL would igve a fuck about any of these things? LOL. yes i'm a moron, should not have said a fucking word. (facepalm)


Failing to carry out these repairs, compensation corresponding to the actual costs must be paid. The dwelling must be returned in good condition, in accordance with lease obligations. 15 years later, ummmm, nope.
We also recall that tenant transparency is one of the assessment criteria used by the Tribunal administratif du logement (TAL). While not explicitly provided for by law, TAL case law recognizes that hiding relevant information, providing contradictory versions, or misleading the landlord constitutes a breach of the obligations of good faith and cooperation. These elements are systematically taken into account by the Tribunal when evaluating the conduct of the parties.
Finally, since Ms. Pothier has indicated her intention to remain for several more months, she must provide proof of her civil liability insurance without delay, which is a contractual requirement of the lease. The absence of this proof constitutes a serious breach, particularly in a context where damage has already been caused to the dwelling. I sent it to Neil in february. kiss his cock and get it from him.
We finally recall that all repairs already raised before our taking possession on June 3, 2026, must be settled one way or another, as she had promised. These corrective measures cannot be ignored or postponed, since they stem directly from Ms. Pothier's occupancy of the premises and fall under her rental obligations. no legal requirements for me to fix it in ten days.










To:
Me Daniel Crespo Villarreal
Subject: 5327, av. Earnscliffe, Montréal (H3X 2P8) – Your letter of June 27, 2026
Counsel,
I, the undersigned Achraf Zineddine, acting as proxy for Ms. Yasmina Lallemand, acknowledge receipt of your letter of today’s date, Saturday, June 27, 2026.
You indicate that a difference of interpretation persists and suggest consulting a legal advisor. For our part, we have already set out in detail the facts, the applicable obligations, and the difficulties encountered in our previous letters, without the points raised receiving any precise response from you.
Regarding the date of September 1, 2026
You indicate that the date of September 1, 2026, was agreed upon. This is incorrect. At no point was this date discussed, negotiated, or accepted. Furthermore, you seem to assume that asbestos removal cannot be undertaken before your client's departure.
We have always been clear: the envisioned agreement relied exclusively on the commencement of the work, and not on a unilaterally imposed date. Without the commencement of the work, we have no interest in terminating the lease.
Regarding the concerns raised by your client
Your client raises concerns, but she has not taken any concrete steps to inquire about or verify anything whatsoever. She:
has not consulted any resource,
has not asked any question,
has not requested any document,
has not carried out any factual verification with the specialized company, which is nevertheless duly certified and authorized.
Her concerns are therefore not based on any real facts, even though all necessary information has been provided to her.
Regarding the allegedly completed corrective measures
You write that "most of the requested corrective measures have already been made." However, we have received no detailed list nor any proof (photos, invoices, or certificates) relating to the repairs we expressly mentioned, notably:
the glass door,
the damaged window frame,
as well as the other corrective measures you claim to have completed.
Likewise, proof of Ms. Pothier's civil liability insurance, requested on multiple occasions, has still not been sent to us.
What we expect now
At this stage, what we need is not new general formulations, but:
a clear response to the demands already formulated in our letters;
concrete supporting documents for the corrective measures you claim have been completed;
an agreed departure date, formalized in a signed document, and not simply announced unilaterally.
In the spirit of remaining constructive, we therefore invite you to review our previous correspondence, to answer it point by point, and to send us the required proof and confirmations.
Failing this, it will be difficult to consider the situation truly resolved, and it will then be up to the Tribunal administratif du logement to decide.
Please accept, Counsel, the expression of my highest consideration.
Achraf Zineddine
Proxy for Ms. Yasmina Lallemand








Hello,
This is in response to your correspondence below.
I would like to reiterate my suggestion regarding consulting a professional. Dialogue proves to be difficult in the absence of a shared understanding of everyone's rights and obligations. Unfortunately, your numerous and voluminous communications contain several errors and essentially constitute a series of weakly founded threats, or even an abuse of rights regarding your correspondence of June 22.
To re-establish the facts: your notice of repossession was premature (and not late) and the tenant only acknowledged receipt of it (and did not accept the process). In the absence of her acceptance, you must send a new notice and then apply to the TAL for authorization to proceed with the repossession. Should the Tribunal authorize it, it will grant moving compensation to the tenant (which has nothing to do with a "renoviction").

It was therefore with a view to avoiding debates on these issues that I sent you a settlement offer in my very first communication, to which you responded only with demands, threats, and formal notices.
Furthermore, I ask that you do not attribute intentions or statements to me that I did not make. In your letter of June 25, you explicitly confirm that you accept the termination of the lease, following which you invite us to communicate the date to you and insist on the importance of knowing it as soon as possible. Consequently, two days later, we communicated the date of September 1, 2026, to you. Therefore, we consider this date to be effective; the tenant will vacate the premises on that date. You are free to send us a form that will reassure you to this effect.
As for the repairs attributable to the tenant, she has until her departure to comply. We reiterate that our client is aware of her obligations in this regard and intends to comply with them. You remain free to take whatever steps you deem necessary thereafter. Should your claims prove to be abusive, we will vigorously contest them.
Finally, regarding the work, we deplore the attempt to blame the delays on our client, when nothing stands in the way of its commencement. On the contrary, we note that the dates you initially stated were not respected, even though you will have possession of the entire building in a few weeks. Consequently, we respectfully invite you to cease your untimely communications, failing which we will consider any recurrence as an act of harassment and will act accordingly.
Sincerely,

Daniel Crespo Villarreal, B.A., LL.B., LL.M.

Her letter she signed:

June 30:

MUTUAL AGREEMENT FOR LEASE TERMINATION BETWEEN THE UNDERSIGNED:
The landlord:
Yasmina Lallemand
Residing at: 5325 avenue Earnscliffe - Montréal H3X 2P8
AND
The tenant:
Madame Louise Marie Pothier
Currently residing at: 5327 avenue Earnscliffe - Montréal H3X 2P8

THE PARTIES AGREE TO AND SIGN THE FOLLOWING:
  1. Termination of lease: The landlord and the tenant mutually agree to definitively terminate the lease for the dwelling located at 5327 avenue Earnscliffe – Montréal H3X 2P8.
  2. Departure date: The end of the lease is fixed for September 1, 2026. The tenant firmly undertakes to definitively vacate the premises, empty the dwelling of all her belongings, and hand over the keys to the landlord at the latest by this date.
  3. Compliance with conditions: This termination is made in accordance with the conditions set out in the landlord's letter dated June 29, 2026, formally accepted by the tenant's lawyer, Me Daniel Crespo Villarreal, on the same day.
  4. Inspection and walk-through: The parties agree to jointly conduct an inspection of the dwelling at the latest by September 1, 2026, in order to draw up a walk-through report. The dwelling must be handed over clean, empty, and free of all clutter. Any abnormal damage noted during this inspection and caused by the tenant shall be at her exclusive expense.
  5. Legal scope: The parties recognize that this agreement is final, enforceable, and that it legally binds the signatories under article 1974.1 and following of the Civil Code of Québec.




Lawyer said to me:

Hello,

Their agreement contains some errors that suggest it was generated using artificial intelligence, but nothing that is prejudicial to you.

Its contents appear to be consistent with the agreement that was reached. You may sign it if you wish, but the agreement has already been concluded, so your signature is optional.

It is worth noting that it specifies that the move-out inspection will be conducted jointly, which had not been discussed previously. That said, if there is nothing of concern to note, this should not cause any issues.

Regards,


Daniel Crespo Villarreal, B.A., LL.B., LL.M.




I did not sign.

Today: July 6th:





I acknowledge your email confirming that your client accepts the termination conditions for September 1, 2026. However, I must inform you that the agreement, as proposed, is not admissible in the absence of an official signature.
I recall the following facts:
  • An official termination letter was deposited in the mailbox of Ms. Pothier's door,
  • An email was also sent to her,
  • No response was given, despite the importance of the process.
Furthermore, despite her commitments:
  • the garden has still not been entirely cleared, which is preventing the preparation of the construction site,
  • the garage key has still not been handed over, even though this space is not included in her lease and must be accessible for the work,
  • and these failures are occurring even as your client claims to be cooperating, which is incompatible with the observed facts.
In this context, and given these behaviors which demonstrate a lack of real cooperation, it is impossible to consider that an agreement exists until it is formalized and signed in accordance with the requirements of the Tribunal administratif du logement.
I am therefore sending you the termination document once again for signature.
Your client has a period of 48 hours to sign it and return it to me.
Failing a signature within this timeframe, I will consider that there is no valid agreement and I will file my application for repossession of the dwelling (reprise de logement) with the TAL after July 8.
Thank you for confirming receipt and proceeding with the signature within the deadline.

Cordialement,

Lawyer letter July 6
Hello Ms. Lallemand,
A contract was formed through the exchange of emails. Your email from June 29 contained a specific offer, and its conditions were accepted on the exact same day. I even took the time to explicitly state that the reply email constituted the tenant's consent to the proposed terms. The agreement is therefore formed, regardless of the methods of recording it. In other words, we reassure you that it is not necessary to record the agreement through an additional formality.
In any event, my client intends to comply with it. She will sign your document if she deems it necessary and if it conforms to your accepted offer.
Furthermore, we reiterate, for a third time, that your notice of repossession was premature.
Please be advised that we will vigorously contest any application you may file with the TAL (Tribunal administratif du logement) and that we will file an abuse of process application seeking the summary dismissal of your request and an award for damages if applicable.
As a consequence of the foregoing, we take the liberty of reiterating our invitation for you to seek legal advice from a professional.
In any event, please direct your correspondence to Ms. Pothier.
Sincerely,
Daniel Crespo Villarreal, B.A., LL.B., LL.M.



Either AI responded or, she's gonna try to get me arrested lol




Maître bonjour,

Je vous remercie pour votre courriel du 6 juillet 2026.

Je comprends de votre courriel que votre cliente accepte les conditions convenues relativement à son départ du logement et qu’elle libérera les lieux le 1er septembre 2026, conformément à l’entente intervenue entre les parties dans votre courriel du 29 juin 2026.

Je vous remercie de bien vouloir me confirmer que cette compréhension est exacte.

Veuillez agréer, Maître, mes salutations distinguées.

Yasmina Lallemand





July 9th Conclusion:

I AM GOING TO SUBMIT AN APPLICATION TO THE TAL TO GET FUCKING MONEY.



July 12 Final Update:

I saw her and the kids walking outside of the building last night, and decided to go give her the garage keys...
And was hoping that she would listen to me talk, if I explained what I did. (Without mentioning Her insanity).

So I did! I explained why I hired the lawyer, I explained that I assumed what he requested was legal (no one understands this, I hope they did), I explained it's dangerous and all we wanted was to be able to move out for a little while. I explained that Andrea was panicking and that everyone I spoke to said it's not safe. that is all i repeated... They explained how the constructors will safen the building. . .

They were nice. They both believe that the asbestos remover said it's safe, they said they didn't start to not bother us, the boy sorta believed me, that he would also be worried, she said that the lawyer is an asshole, I did not disagree, I just said that it was not ME who wrote the letters, I just hired him to get money, that's all.  I listened to everything they said, they were not rude... kinda weird.

The boy said they have to pay mortgage this summer, and that they didn't have money to hire a lawyer, bla bla, I just listened politely.

After the conversation, we discussed the trees that they are worried about removing. (They don't want to pay anyone.) We talked
about the branches for kike 10 minutes lol. Then we started to walk to the front.


I asked when they were starting, she said "Sept. 1" (meaning after we leave), or Sept 2, the boy never confirmed dates, so I think
she was making assumptions. (I did NOT ask about a permit)...

She asked if we found a place to move, I said yes, she asked "close by" I said 'yes', she asked if it is similar to this place I said yes
(be careful Louise, remember, every time you tell her info she uses it against you)... but I did confirm it costs more, which is not what
i wanted.


Then, because I am nice, I mentioned that we are probably leaving in mid-August. She asked if I can let her know the official date
so that they can start sooner.



(As we walked by the garage, I mentioned that I own nothing in there. The boy said he understands. )


So the conclusion is, it was the lawyer who was the problem lol...




then I slept.






Here is AI's answers to all of my questions:






1. Mandatory Notice Periods for Major Work
Under the Tribunal administratif du logement (TAL) rules, a landlord cannot simply begin major renovations without giving you formal, strict advance notice. The timeline depends entirely on whether you need to be evacuated: [1]
  • If temporary evacuation is required and lasts MORE than 1 week: Yasmina must give you at least 3 months' written notice before you have to vacate. [1]
  • If temporary evacuation is required and lasts LESS than 1 week: She must give you at least 10 days' written notice. [1]
  • Your right to respond: Once you receive an official notice of major work, you have 20 days to reply to indicate if you agree or refuse to vacate. If you do not reply, the law automatically assumes you refuse to leave, forcing her to open a case at the TAL to justify the eviction. [1]
2. Airborne Asbestos is Dangerous Anywhere in the Building
Your landlord cannot minimize the danger by saying the work is "not in your unit". Under the Règlement sur la salubrité, l'entretien et la sécurité des logements de la Ville de Montréal (Regulation 03-096), landlords are strictly prohibited from letting work release toxic vapors, contaminated air, or hazardous dust into any shared or residential space. [1, 2, 3]
  • The Shared Threat: Asbestos fibers easily become airborne and travel through shared ventilation, floor gaps, plumbing chases, and common hallways. [1, 2]
  • The Law: Yasmina has a legal obligation to guarantee the safety and air quality of the entire property. If remediation takes place downstairs, she must hire certified experts, put up heavy-duty containment barriers, provide air quality tests, and potentially pay to relocate you if your air quality is compromised.

3. Delays and Complex Permits for a 1938 Building
Yasmina’s 48-hour pressure tactic is completely unrealistic given the bureaucratic reality in Montreal. [1]
  • Heritage Status Restrictions: Following recent updates to Quebec's Cultural Heritage Act, the City of Montreal compiled strict inventories of all pre-1940 residential buildings to protect architectural heritage. Because your duplex was built in 1938, any major structural work, window modification, or severe renovation requires specialized municipal architectural review (PIIA).
  • The Timeline Reality: In Montreal boroughs, obtaining a standard construction permit takes an average of over 100 days—and even longer for pre-1940 character buildings. She cannot legally begin a chantier or force you out for a renovation project when she likely does not even have the approved municipal authorization in hand. [1, 2, 3]





Would you like to draft a formal response to her lawyer or to Yasmina pointing out these exact legal notice requirements and refusing her 48-hour ultimatum?


yes please





AI wrote me a letter for her LOL



BY EMAIL
Montréal, July 6, 2026
To: Ms. Yasmina Lallemand
(Carbon copy: [Insert her lawyer's email address if applicable])
Subject: Reply to your email dated [Insert date of email received] – 5327 Earnscliffe Avenue
Madam,
I am writing in response to your recent email in which you impose a 48-hour ultimatum for me to sign a lease termination document, under the threat of filing an application for repossession of the dwelling after July 8.
By way of this letter, I inform you that I refuse to sign the termination agreement as formulated. I firmly reject the undue pressure you are attempting to exert through this unreasonable 48-hour deadline, which has no legal basis whatsoever.
Although I initially showed an openness to cooperate for a departure from the premises by September 1, 2026, this process cannot be done at the expense of my fundamental rights as a tenant, nor in defiance of the public order rules that govern major work and occupant safety.
I wish to remind you of the strict legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the current situation of the building:
1. Mandatory notice periods for major work
Under the Civil Code of Québec and the rules of the Tribunal administratif du logement (TAL), you cannot undertake major renovations requiring an evacuation without having sent me a formal and detailed written notice. If the required evacuation exceeds one week, this notice must be sent to me at least three (3) months in advance. The law then grants me a 20-day period to respond. To date, no notice compliant with the law has been served to me.
2. Management of hazardous materials and presence of asbestos
As the duplex was built in 1938, the confirmed presence of asbestos imposes strict decontamination protocols. Contrary to your claims, the fact that the major work targets the lower dwelling in no way diminishes the danger to my health. Asbestos fibers are highly volatile and travel through ventilation routes, shared structures, and common areas. Under the By-law respecting the sanitation, maintenance and safety of dwelling units of the City of Montréal (By-law 03-096), you have an absolute legal obligation to guarantee the safety and air quality of the entire building. The handling of asbestos requires the intervention of certified experts and airtight containment that will inevitably disrupt the enjoyment of my home.
3. Obtaining mandatory municipal permits
Given the age of the building (1938) and the recent reforms to the Cultural Heritage Act, the building is subject to a heritage protection inventory by the City of Montréal. Any structural modification or major renovation requires an in-depth architectural evaluation (PIIA) and the acquisition of municipal permits, for which the processing times in Montréal regularly span several months. The absence of these approved permits renders any attempt at evacuation premature and illegal.
Conclusion and next steps
For these reasons, I reiterate that I will not sign any document under the threat or artificial urgency that you are trying to create. If you choose to file an application for repossession of the dwelling or any other action before the TAL after July 8, I will assert all of my rights, including my demands for full compensation, proper relocation, and rigorous compliance with environmental standards related to asbestos.
I remain open to a fair, equitable, and legally sound amicable agreement, provided that it respects the reasonable timeframes necessary to plan my relocation safely.
Please accept, Madam, my distinguished salutations.
Louise‑Marie Pothier
Tenant of 5327 Earnscliffe Avenue




Don't worry, I am not sending it....

I'm just laughing and feeling bad for her.

Remember, the Real Estate agent who sold the building told me that this woman was the worst and most horrible stressful person she has ever interacted with. She said "JUST LEAVE"

LOL
