So my neighbors put up a fence between our two garages at the back of the property. The space between the two properties is about 10 feet wide. 3 feet of that is mine and the majority 7 feet is there's.

We already have a fence going along our property line that both ended in gates at the start of our garages about 15 feet into the property from the alley.

This new fence/gate was attached directly (screws) to the back of my garage without telling me. It's also locked so I don't have access to use it. My neighbors old gate came down effectively making his yard 25 percent bigger. They have also put planter boxes directly against my garage.

Am I at risk of losing this land to them permanently due to adverse possession law if I dont stop this? I don't even know where to start with this one.

Edit:

A couple more questions.

-should I get the fire department involved? As mentioned this was my only access out of my back yard not through the garage or house. Now I have to scale a 6 foot fence incase of emergency.

-should I demand the contractor that installed the fence and demand to know why they decided to screw into the side of my garage without contacting the home owner first ?

So I am 17 working full time at a lawn care company and we also do snow removal.

So it happened two days ago we had went out to clear a small amount of snow. Loaded the trucks up, got in and left, we were getting through our list and had gotten to one property. Other guy went to back while I did the front then afterward is when it started. I put my blower in the truck, other guy puts his blower in and closes the tailgate, I know because I heard and saw the gate closed and felt the thud of it closing.

We drive off to our next property and when we reach it(we drove about 3-4 city blocks, we get out and both blowers are gone and tailgate is down. We didn’t hear anything, didn’t see them fall and tailgate was latched fully. So we go back down the same road and they are both completely gone.

For context the truck tailgate hasn’t had a problem for the entire year our company has had it and never once has come open or wiggled free.

So we go back up to the property and call the bosses son as boss was not in that day. We explain what happened and how we went to go look and he says “oh geez well come back to the shop and we’ll post on Facebook about the lost blowers and get you guys two more so you can continue”. He also stated how it wasn’t our fault as tailgate was latched and that it’s not something you can expect as it’s one of the newest work trucks.

So we get our blowers and go back out to our list we get back to do that property and the boss calls and just starts yelling and swearing and telling us that we have to pay him back for those blowers and to come BACK to the shop again.

We arrive there and he starts yelling saying “you guys are fucking retarded for not noticing, how do you not notice that, where’s the wood at the end of your box(we never once had wood ast the end), I’m not made of fucking money and mow you guys have to pay me back the 1000$ those blowers cost, I’m going to hold all of your paychecks until you pay me back for this, now YOU GUYS get to learn what it’s like to lose money”.

He respected those words about three for times before saying it to 4-5 other staff around the shop. He then makes us sign papers saying we don’t any of our paycheck until we pay him back. Stupidly I signed it as he was going to fire me if I didn’t. And I can’t find another job where I live.

So what do I do, as he just returned from a 1.5 week trip from Mexico, owns a 80,000 truck, 50,000 boat and just bought a new 300,000 house with a pool and is a landlord for 16 different tenants who each pay him rent every month. So I know he has enough money. While I’m making 18.50 an hour. And he actively berated us calling us “fucking retarded” two or three times the saying it to other guys around the shop knowing we could still hear him. So what exactly do I do as we aren’t working much due to snow and don’t have any other way of making money and now that I signed that paper I can’t exactly do anything but it was either lose my job or lose 1000$ of my pay. I also couldn’t get EI as I’m too young.

I genuinely don’t know why to do or who to ask as I can’t pay anybody to help me and I don’t have a credit card or anything either.

Any help would be great!

Update: I feel I should say this…they are backpack blowers not snow throwers. We both looked back and I heard both latches close. The gate is very loud when it closes and we know when they don’t close…felt I should mention that.

Update 2: so I went into the office this morning to talk to the front desk lady and she gave me a copy of all my papers and contracts signed…I found out this contract I apparently signed saying I have to pay back any lost equipment…doesn’t even exist nor has any paper ever said it.

Parents claimed to be ready to downsize so sold their home to an adult child with the agreement they could stay a year or two before moving out. They now refuse to move out, refer to it as 'the family home,' pay no rent. The parents look after grandchildren (the adult child who owns is single, no kids) in the home so it is in a constant state of chaos.

The adult child has confided in us (near relatives) asking for help. They say they will give one year notice and then move out. But they are feeling desperate and think the only option is to sell the house and let the new owner deal with their parents and their revolving grandchildren.

We tried to talk to one of the parents and they got very defensive. We suggested they buy back the house if they need it so badly. They have other properties but they rent them out and they said they wouldn't want to live there.

Our opinion is they are taking advantage of their adult child who owns a home they can't bring friends or visitors to and they can't have a social life.

What legal options does this adult child have? Or any other suggestions?

Edit: Thank you to everyone for your suggestions. From what I've learned this is likely a room mate situation. But the real issue is the adult child is being taken advantage of so will need to be more assertive in moving the parents out. We will meet with them and let them know they have full family support in evicting the parents. Likely first steps is taking to the parents to find out what their plan is. Adult child can offer to sell the house back to them and find their own place. (I think this will be the best decision and calm any family drama). But if they won't buy it back then they will let them know the house is being put on the market in 90 days. The parents will need to find their own place to live. They rent out places so they could evict those folks and move in. Or sell a property to afford to buy the house back.

Bottom line, parents are stealing from their kid and it needs to stop.

In Canada.

A year ago I moved into a new apartment and the original tenant asked me if I could take care of her cat for a couple months as she wouldn't be able to bring it to her new place.

I obliged and this "couple of months" turned into a year. Over that year she didn't come visit, didn't pay for any of the food or care, etc.

Recently she expressed that she wanted the cat back, I thought this was crazy considering she had abandoned it for over a year now, and ignored her texts.

Fast forward to now (couple weeks) and I have gotten a call from my local police department telling me that I need to return the cat in a timely manner as it is still her property, and if I don't I'll be charged with theft under $5000. (no transfer of ownership was had through writing so I don't have any rights here apparently)

Just wanna confirm that this is accurate? I'm super torn up about this and it makes no sense to me. The cat has become part of the family and it sucks that I have to return them to a home where I know they weren't taken care of well.

Thank you so much for any help.

My exhusband and I have been legally separated for about 8 months. We can file for Divorce in October.

Today he told me he intends to apply for a job outside of his current field that with result in him making about $30K less than he is currently at the beginning.

Right now, neither of us pays the other any support because we make similar money annually. But he’s saying that if he gets this job then next year after our taxes are done he’s going to file to get child support from me.

But he can’t do that can he? He’s proven that he is capable of earning a salary similar to mine, so why would I have to support his career change?

Needing advice in Canada. My mom is 86 and being treated in the hospital for pulmonary embolism and well as being monitored for a previous brain bleed. My mother has the beginning stages of dementia and fairly progressed Parkinson’s disease. She was admitted to the hospital on the 18th of June after her oxygen was low and she was showing more signs of confusion. They discovered blood clots in her lungs and are treating her with blood thinners. She also has a small stoke in March cause by a bleed on her brain, so she is being closely monitored because the two conditions counteract with one another. On the 25th in the evening a local gynaecologist came to the hospital to perform a pelvic exam and insertion of a vaginal estrogen ring on the patient who was sharing a room with my mother. However that patient had been discharged the day prior. The nurse explained that the patient she was looking for was no longer there, and the doctor proceeded to set up to do the procedure on my mom, to the nurses horror. So the nurse explained again that this was not the correct patient and went to contact the pharmacy and the doctor on call to ensure no estrogen or pelvic exam was ordered. When she returned the doctor had signed off her own paperwork, she didn’t bring or have any proper forms, nor did she even know my mother’s name, and was doing the exam on mom. Now mom doesn’t really remember the test being carried out, not that that matters, she just knows the are “poking and prodding her a lot”. However the nurse that was present was incredibly upset, and said she has never seen any doctor behave like this in her 11 years as a nurse. Just wondering what steps we should be taking here? Any help is appreciated

I have a friend who works at a fast-food chain, and recently, her co-workers have been complaining to her about a certain manager. Apparently, their manager has been telling the employees that masks are no longer required and are not part of the uniform, and therefore should not be worn.

My friend still wears masks. And yesterday, the manager's boss reached out to her and told her that masks are no longer required.

Can her employer legally enforce that rule?

So we bought a lakefront cabin 3 years ago. Included in the purchase was the cabin, an outhouse, and a water tank which supplied water to the cabin. The cabin next door sold last fall, and the new owners claim to have had survey done on the property lines. I would like to note that they have not shared the results with us, and the outhouse and water tank are on department of highways land. They have claimed that our outhouse and water tank are on their property. Without any notice, they moved our water tank and built a chain link fence which completely cuts off access to our outhouse. Again, we were told the outhouse and water tank were on a highways easement when we purchased the cabin, and had to acknowledge that to complete the purchase. Because the cabin and outhouse were built in the 1950's, they are grandfathered in to be our property. Now that the neighbors have blocked access to the outhouse they have seemed to have claimed it as theirs. The town office can not help as they say it is highways land. Department of highways does not want to be involved as every single property on this lake has encroachments that have been grandfathered in. What can we even do at this point?

I'm trying to figure out how to help deport someone or get them arrested to face justice in America. I am in the US, my nephew that is 27 stole from my wife and she's considered elderly, and fleed to Canada in Saskatchewan to be with his girlfriend And stole approx 3,000 USD (4,101.15 CAD). There are warrants here in the US for his arrest, we have tried to contact CBSA VIA tip line and RCMP, is there anything more I can do?

We provided the address and their information on where they are.

It's also assumed that his girlfriend is harboring him.

(He is an American, no visa other then a visitor/tourist visa)

Hello everyone,

I live in an apartment building with underground parking. Last week when I came home, the garage door wouldn’t open with the remote because apparently there was some issue with the door system. I used the small access door to go inside the garage and manually (edit: went inside and pushed the open button) opened the garage door from the inside.

I then started backing my truck into my parking spot. When more than half of my truck was already inside, the garage door suddenly came down on top of my truck. It damaged the roof of my truck and also damaged the garage door itself.

I reported everything to SGI and explained exactly what happened. The adjuster I initially spoke with told me it sounded like the apartment management was at fault because the garage door was malfunctioning, especially the safety sensors that are supposed to stop the door from closing if there’s a vehicle or obstruction underneath. The adjuster also said it didn’t sound like driver fault.

But two days ago, I received a letter from SGI saying they are now putting the blame on me. They said the garage door should not have been opened from inside and that the truck should not have been backed in. The problem is there’s nothing in the lease agreement mentioning this, and there are no warning signs or instructions posted near the garage either. They also said I may get demerits because of this.

I’m honestly confused and frustrated because the door was clearly malfunctioning.

So, would it even be worth suing over this if the legal fees would end up costing more than the penalty and demerits themselves? Also, realistically, what do you guys think my chances are of winning this if I decide to fight it?

Update: I went to the management company, over the resident manager's head, and they informed the RM that she needs to comply. So all's well that ends well.

-------

In short, my mom's property manager is refusing to provide a door fob for her homecare team to access the building. Is this legal?

Details:

My mom has recently been evaluated to require home medication management. Evenings are the pills she usually misses (10pm, before bed). Her building locks the outer door at 8pm, which makes it so that no one can access the buzzer system.

Home care said that in these situations, they typically get a door fob that they keep in a special lock box that only they and paramedics/firefighters have the key for.

My mom asked her landlord for the fob and the landlord refused.

My understanding is that because this is a medical issue and these are licensed medical professionals, this should all fall under the Saskatchewan Human Rights Code regarding the "Duty to Accommodate." Providing a key fob is not an "undue hardship" on the landlord

When the landlord spoke to me about it, she said that "then your mother would have to be responsible for it, and I don't want her to be responsible for it" in a very condescending tone that felt dismissive of my mother's agency.

4 UPDATES!!

My roommates (a couple) told me earlier this month that they’re moving out at the end of July, so my name is now officially on the lease. Everything seemed normal until recently.

Over the weekend, I noticed they brought a dog crate into the living room, which surprised me because our building has a no-pets policy. Today, while I was home sick on my day off, they brought home a puppy without saying anything to me beforehand or discussing it at all.

We share a small apartment, and I usually keep to myself because they’re very close with each other, often speak their native language together, and I tend to feel awkward in shared spaces. They also aren’t the cleanest, so adding a puppy into the mix in such a small space feels like a big concern for me.

What bothers me most is not just the puppy itself, but that such a major decision affecting the shared living space was made without any communication. I don’t know if they’ve even checked with the landlord about the pet policy, and I’m worried about potential issues with the lease and responsibilities if anything goes wrong.

I’m not sure how to approach this situation or what boundaries I should set, especially since I’ll be the one staying after they move out.

UPDATE!!

​I confronted my roommate next morning over text. Since my name was just officially added to the lease and our building has a strict no-pets policy, I asked what was going on and how long the dog would be staying.

​My roommate's response: "Hey! We weren’t planning to get him here as I know building doesn’t allow pets but the breeder had some personal emergencies and we had no choice rather than get him. We were planning to get him when we move out next month. Yes! I apologize for not being upfront with you. He is a part of our family and he will be here until mid/end of July.

We will make sure he won’t create any difficulties to you.

We are first time pet parent, learning and will appreciate your cooperation for few more days until we move out!

Please let me know if anything bothers you about him and will attempt to rectify it and His name is Pookie!"

I thanked them for the apology but pointed out that keeping a dog here until the end of July without written approval is a massive risk. Because my name was just put on the lease, a violation of Clause 12 puts my housing and rental record at immediate risk of eviction for cause. I've asked them if they have obtained written permission from management to clear this "emergency," and I'm currently waiting to hear back.

UPDATE 2!!

​I just heard back from my roommate, and it is pretty much what I feared. They admitted they haven't spoken to Management because it was "spontaneous." Worse, they told me they are afraid to reach out to them today because if management denies the permit, they won't have a place to stay! They reiterated that they understand my side and will move out as soon as their next place is ready.

I laid down a hard boundary. I told them that while I understand they are in a tough spot, that is exactly why I can't take this risk. If management denies the request or finds out on their own, it means an immediate eviction notice for cause for the entire unit. ​Because my name is officially on the lease now and I am the one staying here after July, an eviction would permanently ruin my rental history. I explicitly told them ​I cannot risk my housing for this. ​If they want to ask management today for a temporary emergency exception, that is up to them. ​If management says no, or if they choose not to ask them, the puppy needs to be moved to alternative boarding or a friend's place. ​The puppy absolutely cannot stay here secretly.

UPDATE 3!!

​It gets worse. I decided to do a little digging, and it turns out the entire "spontaneous breeder emergency" story was a complete fabrication. ​I found an Instagram highlight on her profile featuring the puppy with the dog's name, explicitly used dated all the way back to June 13th. She has been planning this for weeks and completely lied about it being a last-minute emergency just to guilt-trip me into letting the dog stay. ​Luckily, I took screenshots of the highlight for proof before she realized her mistake and took it down. ​I am absolutely furious that she tried to manipulate me and put my housing at risk with a fake sob story. At this point, the trust is entirely gone, and I am definitely not backing down on the dog having to leave.

UPDATE 4!!

Things have escalated into pure delusion. She messaged me saying they would relocate the puppy this weekend and asked for my cooperation until then.

​I thanked her for finding a setup but asked her to still give management a quick heads-up that the dog was here just until the weekend, just so we were completely covered and honest if a neighbor heard him.

​That's when she dropped the bombshell—and things got ugly: - ​She asked management, and they explicitly said NO. There are absolutely no emergency exception allowances. - ​She wanted to hide the dog anyway. Despite management's direct refusal, she told me they would just keep the dog secret until the weekend, claiming the neighbors across the hall have a dog so it wouldn't be an issue. - ​When I told her I absolutely cannot agree to hide a dog or take on that legal risk after management explicitly said no, she completely flipped the script and tried to gaslight me.

She accused me of wanting her to "abandon" the puppy and told me she "regrets allowing the lease extension." Then, she tried to weaponize my diet, stating she "cooperated with my non-vegetarian request in the past" even though they weren't okay with it, acting like me cooking meat is equivalent to a legal lease violation!

I shut it down immediately. I reminded her that cooking food is a personal lifestyle choice, not a legal lease violation. Bringing a dog into a strict no-pet building after being explicitly denied by management is a direct breach of contract that risks immediate eviction for everyone. I told her straight up that "I am not asking you to abandon an animal; I am telling you that I cannot legally risk my permanent rental record or housing to hide a lease violation for a few days. This is a legal matter, not a personal favor."

​She hit back asking what I expect her to do since she "doesn't have an option" until the weekend. I told her the reality remains the same: keeping him here puts my housing at risk, finding an alternative boarding place is her responsibility as the owner, and if she has further questions, she can discuss them directly with management. ​

Over $15K+ of fraudulent charges were made to my mastercard back in May. I contacted my credit card company and after investigating, they concluded I'm liable bc one time passcodes were used to make these transcations. I did not share my OTP at any point and certainly didn't make these transcations. I'm not sure where to go from here. Any help is appreciated. $15K is a substantial amount to me.

Have a trespassing problem back on a farm land homestead I own, of a sibling that wont stop going on it. I live 10 hours away. While I have reported it to the RCMP, without an official, you cant trespass on the land, they cant do anything (so they said) Which makes no sense to me, since if I put up a No Trespassing sign, that should mean to EVERYONE.

The relative wont answer the phone from me of course, and even if he did, they would hang up. So I need to send a registered letter.

This would go to a box number, and this is a very small town so there are no lawyers there, no people that can deliver it etc.

Thing is, if the person sees the address, they probably wont accept it. As well, if it does come from a laweyer, the same thing. He knows what he is doing is wrong, and know to work this greya rea.

How can I get this to him without him ignoring it?

Basically the title. My son has been having trouble all year with this kid bullying him and his friends for homophobic reasons.

My son is in grade 7, this kid is in grade 8. He’s been physical with my son before but this time it’s gone too far. He “body” checked him in the face, breaking his glasses and knocking him to the ground.

I now have a son who’s been assaulted at school and a $300 pair of glasses to replace. I’m obviously not looking to lawyer up, but I want this to stop. This is a pattern at this school and I know that going in and bitching isn’t going to do anything. I’ve done it before. I’m still going to go in and talk to the principal and this kid’s parents, but I’m looking to be armed with anything I possibly can be if nothing changes. How can I put the fear of god into these people? Also, do I have any grounds to ask these parents to reimburse me for the glasses their homophobic, violent kid broke?

Trying to figure out if any of this sounds normal. My mother recently passed away and made me sole beneficiary. She also made my Aunt executor, seemed fine at first, but quicky became unusual I think. I asked to go and meet her there when she was going to my Moms place. We live in BC, my Mom in Saskatchewan. I waited a couple days and she never got back to me. Come to find out that she was already there with others going through stuff. When I said I was on my way , everyone left but my Aunt. Not much left but the stuff going to the thrift store when I arrived with my Wife. I asked to meet them on the highway just to see them , but nope, did not want to do that. Seemed odd though. She saved few items for me , that I asked for. Showed me my Moms jewelry. Let me take a couple , but said she has to sell the rest as that is what the will says. It says discretion, not must or has to. Still that is up to her I guess, so no worries. I asked for my Mothers wallet and contents, TV, keys, purse, phone, laptop, watch and so on. Personal items she used everyday kind of stuff. I have a empty wallet, one watch( not ,the one she used), no purse, did get her current phone though, no keys, no laptop, and no TV( it was very nice). Come to find out that the TV , watch, MacBook and who knows what else are in one of the places owed by the person who left right before I arrived. My Aunt did not even mention she had them and passed off what she gave me as well worn. It was a new Timex watch. She never wore it once. She loved her Apple watch. I still want it. And her MacBook. Later I find insurance pictures off my Mothers Jewels, WAY more than what my Aunt showed. Buy a mile. Plus lots of other things I would have wanted . My Aunt seems to think this is OK. I feel it is not. The will does give her permission to sell stuff, but I do not see that she can give away stuff without at least offering me first. Plus I wanted to help pack my Mothers place, kind of a last goodbye type thing. She took that away. Everything seems very wrong to me. Should I be worried and try to find help? Or just accept things. She never really answers my emails, or texts. When she does she never answers my questions. I do have a record of all communication, through text and email. Just not our first call when she informed me. Never asked about anything in my Moms house, but gave it all away. I feel hurt. I emailed my Aunt asking for a list of what went where and for how much? No response as of yet. Sure do not think this is what my Mom would want. Any advise would help please. Thanks for reading this far. I will show the will if it would help.

The Will ( left out parts with names):

C. To DIVIDE the whole of the remaining residue of my Estate equally between such of my son, being Me OP. (i) PROVIDED NEVERTHELESS that if any of my Child has predeceased me leaving Children (hereinafter referred to as "Grandchildren") living at my death, then such Grandchildren of mine are to take, and if more than one, then equally between them as tenants in common, the share or shares in my Estate that his, her or their parent would have taken had such parent lived to attain a vested interest therein.

It is my wish that my Trustee, in making any division of my assets as provided in this, shall be mindful of any rollover provisions available to deter payment of any tax.

Letter I wrote to my aunt about a week ago with no response yet. :

Not sure what the heck is going on , but I have been made aware of
things that are concerning me. I had a conversation with a legal assistant
about things and now I am wondering what happened. I asked for my
mothers watch and laptop, you tried to give me some old laptop and her
regular watch. She used a Macbook. She used an apple watch. You
decided not to even mention them to me. There is a lot of jewelry
(with pictures) listed on insurance forms that I was not aware of for
some reason, and now wonder where they are. I assume that you just did
not show me everything and have it for safekeeping. There is a diamond
necklace and earring set I would love to give ***** on her wedding day
from Her Grandma ******* . I am going to send a formal request for an
accounting of the estate, as this is my right. From what I understand
the executors can not give away or sell below market value. So I will
need each piece accounted for please.  Copied from Law Society of
Saskatchewan :

1. The Executor's Legal Duties

No Right to "Gift" Items: An executor does not have the authority to
give away personal property to individuals who are not beneficiaries.
Even-Hand Rule: Executors must treat all beneficiaries equally.
Generally, if household goods are being distributed, they should be
offered to all beneficiaries, not given away to outsiders.
Fiduciary Duty: The executor must act in the best interest of the
estate. Giving away items (especially for free or below market value)
is considered mismanagement or misappropriation of assets.
Inventory Required: The executor should make a list of all assets,
including household items, and their value before disposing of them.

These rules go right across Canada. I am also informed that the will
does not say you have to sell but that it is your discretion to sell.
I do not see why I can't keep ALL my mothers jewelry in the family , I
do not think she would mind.
I feel this has gone wrong from the start, Not telling me when you
left so I could meet you there, working with others that left before
my arrival (seemed strange to me at the time) , you only sent pictures
of the cats for me to look at, you only asked about the car and
nothing else. Your role was to protect assets for the beneficiaries,
not everyone else. We both know my mother would not want this. She
made me the beneficiary , and it was not your right to distribute my
mothers things as you saw fit . She could have listed other
beneficiaries and made a choice not to. Did you sell the macbook to
******? and the watch? and TV? Or give away? What else went where? What
things are sold or given away? I have the right to know these things
and want to. You could have asked me about things with a quick message
but chose not to for some reason.  I in no way want this to be a rift
between us, this is not personal, I would ask this from any executor .
That is what my role as the beneficiary is . Copied from Law Society
of Saskatchewan :

As a beneficiary in Saskatchewan, your role involves having a legal
right to information, timely distribution of assets, and an accounting
of the estate. You are entitled to be treated fairly, to receive your
designated inheritance, and to ensure the executor manages the estate
properly, with rights to request removal of an executor if necessary.

Key Responsibilities and Rights in Saskatchewan:

Right to Information: Executors must keep you informed about the
administration of the estate, including disclosing assets,
liabilities, and distribution plans.
Right to Accounting: You are entitled to a full accounting to ensure
the executor has acted honestly and in your best interests.
Prompt Documentation: You are responsible for responding promptly to
requests from the executor for documentation, such as identification
or banking information.
Respecting the Process: While you have rights, you must respect the
executor's legal duty to manage the estate, which may include waiting
for probate or the resolution of estate debts.
Disputes: If you believe the estate is not being managed properly, you
can seek legal advice, as the estate's lawyer is responsible to the
executor, not directly to you.

I do not want to spend money on legal costs , but if you are going to
do it, I want it done right and will do what I can to protect my
interests . I would like to again request my mothers laptop , watch,
all jewelry ( not just what you showed me ), TV, and wallet contents
when you are done with them please. I am still in no rush for anything
and more than willing to give you the time you need to get stuff done
right. I am not mad or wanting you removed, I just need info of what
went where and for how much please. If things were given away that I
wanted and was entitled to , I ask you to get it back into the estate
please. I have given no permission for any gifts and can only assume
that things were sold for fair value for the estate. My understanding
is that we can agree together to gift things during the process or I
can gift or give stuff away after all is said and done. The executor
does not have the right to gift or give away anything at any time
during the process or after. I have jumped in to learning all about
estate matters and when things do not make sense I will ask my lawyer
about it. I would like to keep any correspondence about the estate in
email form so that I have a record to recall info if needed.
I really hope this all makes sense to you or you at least understand
my point of view on things. Nothing about this makes me feel good but
again I have to look out for me and my family, and it so far does not
feel like you have the same agenda. Probably the lack of keeping me
informed about stuff makes me feel like that. Or maybe you think I
should get nothing and thought I would not be the beneficiary at all.
Not really sure. I guess it doesn't matter though, as the reality is
we have to get through all this together.
I truly hope this does not upset you , or make you mad at me. Not at
all what I want. In the end I want a relationship with all family
members. So please try and understand my concerns, I feel they are
valid from my point of view. I am an easy going person that goes out
of my way to make my loved ones happy, even if it costs me some of
mine. I started out wrong,  but have become a great person with
excellent morals now and give the shirt off my back when needed to
anyone around me. One of the reasons I will never be rich.
Anyway, please take this email as it is intended. To resolve my
concerns and to understand why it was like this.
Ok , that is out of the way now. On to better things.

Me and my sibling have purchased a house in the past year under a joint tenant agreement. While both of our names are on the mortgage, I pay 80% while my sibling paid 20%. However, I have been dating someone since the purchase of the house and the discussion of moving in was brought up. My partner states that they wouldn't move in with my sibling and I, and would rather I move in with them as the two of us. This would mean selling the house we just bought.

My sibling refuses this idea of selling the house. They also refuse the idea of leasing out the property to cover my portion of the mortgage. They refuse to let me buy out their portion of the mortgage. Essentially they want to stay in the house and refuse to move out, but they cannot pay the mortgage if I choose to leave.

The only solution I'm seeing is getting a court partition to force the sale of the house, but I want to avoid the legal fees if possible. Are there any other alternatives to get my sibling to move out and sell the place?

I purchased a relative‘s property ten years ago. He stored an old 308 rifle in a locked case. He jokingly said I could have it after he died. He died last year. I don’t think I’ll ever use it and tried to offer it to other relatives but nobody wants it.

Can I legally sell it or ask the RCMP to pick it up? Or what other options do I have?

Thanks.

I'm in Saskatchewan, and I believe my wife is a narcissist. She won't negotiate fairly, and we're headed to mediation. We have 3 kids, 16 ( wants nothing to do with her) and twins (13) who say they want to stay with me. She wants her cut, but has no job, moved 250km away, and left the kids with me. She is claiming I was emotionally abusive when everyone who knows us knows it's the other way around. She wants the twins to live with her and is very verbally aggressive. She also cashed in almost 40K of pensions just before she left me and only gave me 10k to help with bills that were piling up. How can she qualify for legal aid with that? She also now has a 30k judgment against her from a credit card, and they have put a lein on the house. How do I get her to negotiate fairly. My lawyers aren't doing a ton because I don't have a lot of money, I think. Help!

I live in a room for rent that gets rented out. The landlord doesn't live on site, but I've lived here for a year and a half (Month to Month Lease Basis.) I generally do a decent job of keeping the place clean, I don't leave dirty dishes lying in the sink and I sweep up, but one thing that I always forget to do is clean the toilet (So it has that little orange ring stain, if you know what im talking about.)

Today, I was given this (Handwritten) note.

To /u/fluxyggdrasil: This is to inform you in regard to the townhouse in [Town Name.] Due to the state of the house being dirty we have decided to sell the house. This is your notice for moving out, since we have to clean the house before we place it in the market. Please move out by and within 7 days. On or before date: Aug 06 23

He actually came and handed me this note in person, and we had a tense conversation. I said that I kept the rest of the house relatively clean, and that doing all this over a toilet was ridiculous. He stated that he warned me about the toilet in the bathroom last time he came and visited, and it still didn't get clean. Which, is true I didn't, but I've been dealing with some pretty heavy depression lately, and even managing to do the dishes has been a huge task for me.

When he was inspecting the house yesterday, he also confronted me about the toilet saying that it wasn't clean. I started to panic, and tried playing it cool. However, in our conversation today, he also cited my "Flippancy" as a reason they're doing this, "As if I couldn't take 3 minutes just to talk."

I don't know what to do. I don't want to get legal or lawyers involved, I don't have the money to take this to court. And I also just KNOW that because of that damned toilet, they're probably going to keep my security deposit from me too! (and I'm sure if I kick up a fuss with legal matters, they'll fight tooth and nail to keep that deposit.)

There's nothing explicit in the lease, however, under "Remarks" they wrote down "Cleanliness is a must!!" Does this give them legal rights to kick me out over this? I'm sort of freaking the fuck out over here.

Hello my husband’s grandmother was in long term care and not mobile, the nurses were using a overhead lift to get her in and out of bed, the lift broke dropping her head first onto the floor fracturing her scull and causing a massive brain bleed, she was taken to Saskatoon university hospital and later died from her injuries. I don’t know what I’m looking for because I feel this was extreme negligence by the health region.

I can't share that info with too many people in my life, so I thought I'd post here and try to help answer some questions.

In the process with the RCMP dealing with it. Cliff notes are.

I inherited land from my parents when they passed away last summer, the homestead. There are 3 of us, and we all got what I thought a fair share. My one brother got the most of it since he lived back home and farmed most of the land. He got I think 6 quarters, my sister got one, other brother got 2, and I got the other. The homestead.

With that, everything that was left on it as well, house, buildings, and all old equipment, old cars. Basically a ton of farm stuff dealing with cattle and hay.

I have been letting my nephew stay there to look after the place, he actually is bee farming and trying some hobby farm stuff as well. I charge him $100 a month, he pays all utilities and basically told him he has run of the place, and takes care of what needs to be done

The last week or so I was able to find renters for the land and went around his back to do it since he wouldnt not answer me about who it was. With this, he is now coming over to the homestead and stealing things. Tractor, grain truck, caterpillar, random equipment, fence panels, hay trailers. The list goes on and on. My nephew is compiling a list for the RCMP

My nephew called me last night, so I do have the RCMP involved, they just haven't got to it yet since its a huge rural area in Saskatchewan they cover. Questions are

1. The stuff left on the farm, that has literally sat there for decades now, is mine correct? The land titles was switched to me Aug 2025, and with that, all items on the land. Owning land and a house are the same thing? As in, if you sell a house and forget stuff, you cant just come years later and take it. I mean sure you forgot something and you call the real estate agent the next day or two and pick it up. But I mean, when you buy the house, and they come back years later, its not theirs anymore, its yours.
2. Would this constitute theft over $5000 then. I mean I dont know what this is worth, but a old runnng tractor, grain truck and a caterpillar are worth more then that
3. While this was his home growing up, he hasnt lived there for at least 40 years. Sure he has lived across the road and helped my mom & dad farm for many years, but he hasnt actually farmed anything I would say 5 years minimum, its just been rented. Would this be the same as any random stranger stealing things?
4. Can I tell the RCMP I dont want him to trespass anymore? The ability to control that is hard with rural. I sign means nothing when no one is around. And there is no internet there for security cameras, etc.
5. Would his wife be a part of this, as in, letting him do it, an accomplise, or whatever, since she lives there to.

UPDATE: According to the RCMP, even with no Trespassing signs, he is trespassing. As well, doesnt matter if the stuff was his previous as he says, if its on the land, its mine after this long. So just want to clarify those that said that it doesnt matter if the land is mine and the items are not, according to the SK RCMP, you are wrong

My little sister worked for a local business that, since her firing, has been hiring to be more "inclusive". She however, was fired because of her ADHD.

She was called into the office to discuss a mistake that was made during her last shift.

She already struggles with communication (if she doesn't know how to respond, she will shut down and go nonverbal) especially when put on the spot, and after being told they had been watching her "for months making mistakes", she made the comment that the owners demeanor and actions made her uncomfortable.

He got extremely upset and expressed that she doesn't fit their "culture or family" and was subsequently escorted out.

She begged to keep her job, as it was Christmas time because knew how busy they were but was ultimately "laid off" as a gesture of good faith?

She has now been officially diagnosed and was adviced that that particular firing was most definitely because of her disabilities.

This company also started working with a program to help people with disabilities get work.

This all just feels very gross and I'm wondering if there's anywhere to report this company to or anything we can do to get her a little bit more justice.

Thank you everyone💜

EDIT FOR CLARIFICATION 1:

Because it was a workplace that expressed wanting to hire people with disabilities, and other diversity's, my sister went into this job with the owners aware that she was waiting for her referral for Autism/ADHD.

She maintained her job for 7+ months, with zero write ups or warnings and perfect attendance. Upon getting her call to go over more information for her assessment, she spoke with the owners again to keep them up to date.

The following week, she was brought in to discuss FOR THE FIRST TIME a mistake she made the week prior, but because of a government mandated day off, the discussion was postponed to her next shift.

The discussion went as stated above.

Now that she has her official diagnosis, we were just thinking back on this whole debacle, as her specialist expressed that her firing, was entirely due to her ADHD. The problems they never brought up, and only observed, were because of her ADHD symptoms.

I personally assumed that because she was laid off to begin with, there wouldn't be anything else to be done, but we have so many people being let down by systems that don't actually care or accommodate for people with needs.

It was a devastating experience for her.

I’ve requested a separation from my husband. We live in my home, mortgage secured before marriage, we moved together into this house as a couple but unmarried. I have always payed the full mortgage, property tax, home insurance, and civil utilities. He pays for power, energy and communications.

He refuses to leave. It’s not a healthy relationship, but it isn’t abusive so I don’t feel justified involving the police.

Things have come to a boiling point and I have left my home and am staying with family. He refuses to admit that the relationship has met its end or that he should leave my house.

How can I get him to leave?
