Land lady

She's someone I would just ignore in real life, but due to current circumstances, being the fact that I need to live here and that I've already fully moved in, I have to put up with her.

When my computer short circuited the wall jack and took out the furnace with it(which is what she accused me of), she got really pissed and threatened to kick us out on jan 1st… it is now jan 2nd.
However, today, the fuse blew out for the kitchen, she think I am lying to her that it has nothing to do with my computer and says that she's coming with an electrician tomorrow and a formal eviction notice while slamming the door in my face… I knew I should've said yes, I did something with my computer again… but that would be lying.

Let me explain this further. The electric circuit of the kitchen is sperate from those of all the other rooms. The appliances that are connected to it is the fridge, the microwave and coffee makers. My guess is that sometimes before, the furnace blew up and took our whole apartment with it. What little fuse that survived the surge is on the borderline of failing anyway.. SO they slowly degrade and eventually short circuit.

I am sure that somewhere in the quebec rental law says that the landlord has to take care of all the power stuff for the tenants. Alot of experienced people at work has been telling me that I could bring this to the rental board and get a rent decrease… but that's not me. I got what I wanted and no one is hurt, so I don't go out of my way to make her miserable. But if she actually sent me that eviction notice… I don't think I'd take it kindly.

Something must've happened to make her so aggressive, so outlandishly in your face rude. I think it is because she thinks by attacking first, it puts the other person on the defensive so they don't in turn attack her. It is the way she is and her age prevents her from changing. I just look at it as an opportunity to become a more well rounded person at dealing with things and people.
