A senior lady moved into a Tvm apartment last year. Since then her health has deteriorated horrifically and there are 17 steep stairs to climb to get to her apartment, and she is unable to walk afterwards without having excruciating pain. Therefore, she has to stay in her apartment and depend on other tenants to help her, sometimes, for days until the pain decreases. She is the nicest lady I have ever met, and would undoubtedly be upset if she knew I was writing this, but in all honesty this is abuse.
She recently found another place to live in a house with NO stairs, and once the woman (me) heard her situation, I had to offer her a place to live.
She contacted the company, Tvm, and was told that she had to pay 2 additional months before she could move, even with her physical condition, not to mention her well aged years. He also told her not to tell anyone that she was moving! Why would he say that unless he was going to "double rent" her apartment after she left? Why would he be so calloused as to prevent her from leaving when she has such bad health issues and has already paid last month's rent? There is too nice to fight but when I see how people are taking advantage, I step in.
There is absolutely NO PROBLEM renting that apartment. There is such a shortage in Cobourg, and she isn't allowed to sublet. Unless this company helps this poor woman, I will take this further to the media, social media, and a petition. it is just disgusting that there are people and companies in this world who don't give a damn about our aging people. Maybe once they get to be 80, they will understand regret what they did this week
