How should these situations be handled, given the rights and obligations set out in the legislation?Make sure to cite legislation in support of the answer.

Assume that there is just a very simple, month to month rental agreement in place (i.e., an agreement to rent the premises on a month to month basis, for a certain rental amount).

From the tenants' perspective....

a. You've had a non- functioning toilet for days, and the landlord won't fix it. What can you do?

b. You have ridiculous neighbours that party all hours of the day and night. You are getting no sleep, and are having trouble getting to and functioning at work. You have complained to the landlord (who owns the entire 4-plex that where you rent 1 unit), but she's done nothing. What can you do?

c. You rent a premises with a flower garden. When you took possession, the landlord asked you to look after the garden, and you agreed. But lately you've been really busy, and haven't done much in the garden. Your landlord is threatening to evict you...can she?
