nt to the City of Montreal and a week later he was forced to spray the entire building. I couldn't stop laughing - all I wanted was my apt done, he ended up doing all 50 units.

You can also send the owners a registered letter stating what the problem is, how many times you've contacted the landlord, what the landlord has done, and state he has 7 calendar days to deal with the problem properly and effectively. Tell him refusal will lead to government complaints (say also you're before the Regie currently). Keep a copy of your letter and the returned pink slip so you have proof when you go to the City, as well as your ongoing file with the Regie.

The internet address directory has this info :

R Xiao
(514) 636-4415
330 Av Roy
Dorval, QC H9S 3E1

I believe this is where Renmeng, the landlord, lives. Call this number just to see if you recognize his voice and just tell him you want to know what he's doing to fix the bedbug problem.

Once you confirm his address, send the registered letter to his house. If you do it to this bldg at apt #15, I don't think it's deliverable.

I hope the above helps you, and I hope you see this post to help you along.

ing the same problem, the landlord tried to fix it himself and has resisted getting an exterminator. I am dealing with the Regie du logement as it seems he doesn't give a shit. He even implied that the bed bug problem was from my stuff which is silly. Poor garbage management and poor apartment conditions, if anyone is considering this apartment, do not!

uilding total (semi basement level, 3 floors above).

When he came to my apartment, he saw the bed stripped down. He was with a woman - the woman seemed to arbitrarily spray my bookshelves. The man sprayed all surfaces of the bed, and the boxspring. He told me to vacate the apartment for 2 hours, leaving the windows open.

I asked him if this was a big problem downtown, and he said yes, all sorts of buildings, everywhere, in Westmount as well.

The janitor was accompanying the fumigator - I asked him what sort of problems the building had. (Note I was not even aware the building had a bedbug problem). The man in the corner apartment to me had thrown out his mattress, but he had a lot. Another man halfway down the corridor threw out his mattress and boxspring. He had a /lot/ of problems apparently. I should note that these two people take home garbage off the streets. So in thinking about the situation, I'm not surprised they had infestations.

The woman in the corner apartment next to me noticed she had bedbugs when her cat was chasing them. I asked her if she reported the problem to the landlord, and she just shrugged and said no.

There were other apartments that were infected, to varying degrees.

I find it surprising that I had none considering the building had them generally everywhere.

The landlord, in my opinion, is responsive to such situations. Shortly after she bought the building, I had a cockroach problem. I went to her and she told me sometimes apartments get infected, and at the beginning of each month, she has a fumigator come by to do a spraying in the garbage room, and for the apartments having problems.

I've lived in this apartment for 14 years, and this is the first time the building has been sprayed for bedbugs.
