Toronto Renters Forum

We rent the main and upper floors of a house. We've had a succession of problems related to an improperly installed shower in the upper bathroom. It caused leaking in the downstairs bathroom that created mold. After several weeks, our landlord finally agreed to a mold inspector, and then the mold removal. Problem is the mold removal meant taking out part of our bathroom walls, as well as the shower ceiling and doors. And it's been sitting like that now for several weeks. It's going to cost upwards of $8,000 to fix it and that's why we think she's stalling. We love the place and want to stay, but also obviously want her to fix this as soon as possible. What is a good way to exert our rights in this situation?

Many thanks to anyone who can help.
