Electric kiss bonanza

Just a little drawing that's been stuck in my head for a while - lightbulb girl and electrikkkkkk man!

In other news, Quebec. Ah, Quebec. Quebec, Quebec, Quebec. I love my province. It's pretty, it's artsy. I'm proud to call myself a french canadian, I love my extra layer of cultural identity. HOWEVER. Quebec seems to be Canada's problem child. I noticed that several Quebec laws differ from laws found in every other province for no obvious reason, except to be different, because then we avoid...assimilation? What is this? The 1760's?

In any case, as it turns out, I have to pay my landlord for the month of October. Because I told him I was ending my lease too late. You have to tell a landlord 2 months (60 days) before the end date in Ontario/Canada... But you have to tell them FOUR MONTHS prior in Quebec. Oh, and also, in Quebec leases do renew automatically, unlike in all the other provinces... WTF, Quebec? A few things my landlord did are still illegal (and I told him) but i'm not getting out of paying for October. Urgh. I hate living in between two provinces. I live in Quebec, then cross a bridge to work in Ontario. The laws and rules change when I cross the bridge. It's confusing on a daily basis.

All I can do is hope he finds a tenant before October, because then i'll be dispensed of paying. Whew. *hopes*

Edit: snapdragon76 , September sucks for me too. Let's cheat on it together with October. He's sexier. He has Halloween.

Seriously? Is that in your contract? I know that if it's not in my contract here, it's not legal.

The contract says 'this lease follows the default housing quebec laws.' It doesn't specify anything, but tells you it follows those laws. I guess it's one of those 'You should have checked that out yourself' things. Before renting the appartment, I read the booklet on the CANADIAN laws of housing. I apparently forgot that 'In Quebec, everything is different!' Live and learn. My province is a problem child.
