#1. In regards to starving ppl in this city, y do u think we have something called a FOOD BANK, i've had to peruse it several times myself.
#2. In regards to my daily internet usage. Do u not think that I don't have friends...My best friend and her husband helped me out, but they were the only ones who were finacially and emotiionally stable enuff to do so. Friends with internet r good to have. As well, have u not ever heard of public internet access thru places like the local library, or welfare offices, or City of Calgary/Edmonton/Red Deer/Buttfuck wherever??

Dear Idiots,
It's not that I don't like helping people, it's just that his reasons were shady in the first place. I mean really; think about it. It's too bad that all of those who "helped" feel _that_ bad about themselves that they needed this kind of charity to ease their concience.
And as for 'Bert' being a sweet guy... If by sweet, do you mean the type that act uber-nice and agreeable to your face and then roll your eyes and talk smack when you leave? That's the kind of 'sweet' that you strike me as.
If you want to throw your money away, there are millions of starving children in the world.. some in your very city, I'd bet. Why would you choose to help a vagrant who can't even present his facts clearly, when there are people FUCKING DYING FROM NOT EATING?
Also, this dude can't be _that_ bad off if he somehow manages to check his interweb every single day.
Fuckin' idiots.

Hey don't judge us all by what Sir Soreass says! icon_evil.gif
I'm a very sweet gay man who now lives in Alberta. And several people came to the aid of Mr. Lonely Boy here which shows what a wonderful bunch we really are.
Sir Soreass just likes to be controversial or whatever and gets his jollies by calling people morons. I think we should all just take him with a grain of salt....responding or getting mad at his inflammatory remarks only encourages him. Let him spew his venom off in a lonely corner somewhere.

I was referring to the Nationally recognized bitter, nasty attitude that seems to plague so many of Alberta's gay men. For Christ' sake, look at this thread! Only in Alberta would something like this escalate into a full-on bitch-fest.

Ok....Ser Loras, Now u've REALLY pissed me off. I am NOT asking for $$, I'm asking for help and this is exactly the kind of help I'm looking for. Yes, I know of Doug Jones, and I've got him helping me out in terms of legal advice. Btw, thank u VERY much Brat for the advice, it's much appreciated. Ser Loras, $$ is not what I'm asking for. Monetary assistance would b helpful, yes, and in terms of that, if some1 wanted to offer then it would b appreciated, if ppl can't offer $$ but have other advice then that makes me happy too. Brad and I have found a place thanks to a VERY kind man on here. Thank you VERY VERY much for your help, you know who you are and I don't frrl I need to reveal ur identity or how ur helping, but again, thank you.

Would a heterosexual be given the same kind of consideration? Think about that.

A few things about this dont make sense.... U havent mentioned what u may have done to contribute to your eviction. Most boarding houses have strict rules to insure cohesion of all tenants due to shared bathrooms, kitchens etc. If theres two of you in one room, I could see how that could cause problems. I got myself into this situation by letting a freind move in while i was in a dorm at NAIT.
I do have some positive advice. If you are both capable of working, go down to the 'workers corner,' at centre street and 12 ave S. Companies drive by there all day and pickup labourers. They pay cash at the end of the day, 8 to 15/hr U and your boyfriend could have rent and damage in a week. If u work hard and impress them, it usually leads to a permanent job.
Also, "cash stop" and "payday loan," places will lend you a damage deposit. Theres one in the 4800 block of Mcleod trail. The service charge is insane, but its sounds like youre desperate.
As a last resort, Social Services may help. I would frown on going on it permanently, but the system was desined for a temporary emergency.
Good luck.

OMG Ser and brook....BACK OFF!!!! Somebody is asking for help and is in a crisis and this is how you treat him? Sounds like the typical Alberta attitude (i.e. "Screw you if you're down and out and poor"). icon_evil.gif
Lonely...there is a constable on the force by the name of Doug Jones who is currently the Hate/Bias crime co-ordinator. You can reach him at . He's a really nice guy so maybe you could get action taken faster through him.

Hey there LB what did you actually do to piss off everyone at your residence?Landlords just don't threaten you to get out without some lude obnoxious conduct on you and your BF's behavior.You obviously were disrespecting the rules of the building. ie:running up and down the halls sceaming like a couple of school girls,yelling & fighting or playing your tunes too loud!
If in fact, he has found out about you and your BF and is homophobic, then you have already done the right thing by informing the police.Unfortunately, you may not get much help as is the situation in most cases. Especially in Alberta! icon_confused.gif:

Because I don't think it would really be helping him. If other people keep bailing him out, then how's he ever supposed to learn to live independantly?

Good lord Ser_Loras back off would ya? Does it really matter what actually legal and what's not? He's talked to the people he needs to talk to and obviously they aren't going to do anything. The point of Lonelyboi's post is to get help, not get torn apart by some asswipe.
LB if I were in a position to help you and your boy out I would. I'd just say keep in touch with the police and make sure this landlord guy is watched like a hawk until you can get out of there. And maybe just keep your distance from this guy. icon_confused.gif *shrug* Dunno, my guess is the cops are your best bet. Sorry to hear what's happening, and I hope things work out for you.

I will tell you right now, I am NOT begging for $$, I'm asking for help, if that help comes in monetary form, hey, it's all good, if people decide to help me in other ways, that's good too. I'm asking for HELP, NOT begging for someone to save me. If I were begging, there's better ways to beg, then to tell someone ur situation and ASK for help.

I spoke with the land and teneant office of my situation just this

AND TENANT OFFICE.
Maybe you should do some reasearch before you
open your mouth just as i said in my other reply to your post
about the group home. I'm sure if you were to actually do your
research before you opened your mouth you might have better
responses from people. THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK.
If you pay rent to another person, and occupy a space on their property, then you have entered into a legal landlord-tenant contract, and that contract is subject to the Act. You do your fucking research.
I don't have to think before I speak because I'm so used to being right; it's really just an extra step that I don't need.

As to the Threats, I've already got the police involved, and as to
being 22, NOT ALL PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME LIFE YOU'VE HAD AND NOT
EVERYONE HAS HAD THE SAME PARENTS YOU HAD, PEOPLE ARE NOT ALWAYS
BROUGHT UP THE SAME WAY. Yes, i'm an adult, but I wasn't given the
chance by my parents to become independant when I should have, THEY
DIDN'T GIVE ME THE TOOLS TO BE ABLE TO BE COMPLETELY INDEPENDANT,
therefore, now that I've been thrown into independance, I'm not
sure how to deal with some situations because I haven't encountered
them before.
So your parents taught you to search the interweb for help dealing with paying your rent?
Cry me a fjord, wimp. No one said I had an easy life. In fact, it was quite the opposite. I had no choice but to be resiliant. I wasn't given the "tools" ither, but I didn't complain and beg for money. It's called life, and we grow by living it and coping on our own sometimes.
And you said that your parents never gave you the chance to become independant.. DUDE, THIS IS YOUR CHANCE.
Anyways, you might have better luck panhandling in front of the Starbucks. But then again, that's just my opinion.

HAHAhHAAHhHHAhh
Dude, you ARE covered under the Residential Tenancy Act.
That, of course, is besides the point.
Do you know what assault is? Well, I'll tell you what assault is: It is the belief of imminent offensive bodily contact. So, you can be assaulted with out actually being touched- if he did, then it's battery. So, your landlord has already committed a crime by threatening you, and if you wanted to, you could have him arrested. But I have a feeling you already knew this, as it is fairly common knowlege that you can't just go around threatening to kill people.
This seems like bullshit to me. Dude, you're 22. You're technically a man. If you've got a problem, fix it yourself.

My resident manager has twice in the past threatened physical harm and just today, November 18th, threatened to kill me. Untill the 26th, my bf and I do NOT have the financial resources available to move out of here. Because the place is an 8 bedroom boarding house, it is not covered under the residential tenancy act and we have nowhere else to go. My dad is living in a 55 community and my mom cannot take me because of her mental health state. My bf and I are scare of the resident manager and no longer want to stay here, we've had nothing but problems since we moved in, aand all the other tenants are upset as well. Would somebody PLEASE be willing to help us out (i.e. a place to stay for a couple of days, once we find a place possibly help with even a small amount of cash (in the form of a cheque made to a landlord that can be verified), or provide some other assitance), if you can help, THANK YOU in advance.
