Okay, the weirdest thing has happened.
We (hubby and I) just came back from the building zoning office. The man in charge was an old friend of my father's and he was asking my dad about the information on the building we are living in.
Apparently, the landlord had approached them letting them know that no one is living in the building and that a couple of months back, the gas and water were shut off due to leakage in the pipes, which none of us knew about. I ended up finding out about a gas leakage back in June when we were helping out with some demo work to the building while also learning that the building permit for such had already expired.
On top of it all, as we were talking to the officer, he made a suggestion that didn't really come to us after we have advised him that there were only us and a small family living on the third floor. By right, until the landlord returns all utilities, we don't have to pay rent. Once those utilities are turned back on then we can renegotiate about rent.
Let's cross fingers and hope that would waken him.
