Joel Felder and Misti Pitcher have been living in their apartment in Kingston, Ont. for over two years, but the past 12 months have been miserable.
The wooden floor tiles in their dining room and spare bedroom have been coming undone, leaving uneven holes all over the place.
"It's like going into a kid's room and stepping on a piece of Lego," explained Joel Felder.
The building is managed by Homestead Land Holdings. For almost one year, the couple has been trying to get the floor fixed, but is having trouble getting a firm date for repairs.
"It's coming down to the point of when we call and ask, we almost feel like we're the problem because we're bothering them," Felder said.
The breaking point came when Misti, who is five months pregnant, tripped over the uneven floor and fell into a desk. She avoided serious injury, but the couple has had enough. They feel they aren’t seeing the benefits of renting.
