Total April '20 Housing Costs:
$2,012.25
Rent collection from 3 housemates (still 5 living here):
$1,923.00
Month Deficit:
-89.25
And... things are taking a nose-dive! 3 out of 5 housemates are still paying rent, However, 1 of the 2 that isn't is being a real problem in the household. Not paying rent is one thing, but they've become disruptive to myself & others living here (verbally & physically aggressive behaviour, damaging the place in fits of rage, etc.).
Long story short, police were called 3 times in a month & I'm now undergoing the eviction process. It's going to be a tough one because of the pandemic, yet the Office of Residential Tenancies in Saskatchewan is still having hearings for "health & safety" reasons. For just a $50 application fee, it's worth trying at this point!

We don't have cable, but we do have wifi. The wifi is 2 of my housemates' lifeblood though as they work from home. It's definitely not optional for them.
