Couldn’t awful ' things happen if you disconnect the wrong pipe, saw through be a a support beam, or chop ant electrical cable in half? In - a word -- yes, But you won't do any of these things if you use a little common sense, and learn something about the job before you start. : If you’re considering doing a job that requires a certain amount of knowhow, see if you can acquire some training before you start. The increasing number of night school programs now available frequently offer general courses in home. im- ’ provement and repair, as well a$ classes in specific skills, such as carpentry, plumbing, .or electrical work. The relatively small investment in time and fees required for a night class can result in invaluable savings in time and money once you g0 to work on your home projects. For more simple jobs, your first stop could be the lpcal library where you'll usually find shelves of well- thumbed manuals on just about any type of repair you care to attempt. And don’t forget to ask friends about their experiences, whether good or bad. From them, you can perhaps get some good tips or advice or you can learn from thelr mistakes. Otice you've got an idea of what you want to do is possible and within your abilities, check with the municipal hall to see if you'll need a building permit — and what building codes you'll have to comply with.. ‘Then-pay a visit to a reliable building supply store with a list of the materials you'll need, but don’t forget to shop around and compare prices before you buy. If possible, go when the store is quiet, and discuss your plans with a knowledgeable clerk. Often you can pick up valuable .pointers: that will help make the work easier and may even save you money. Be reasonable in your expectation of how long the job will take. You won't do it as quickly as a professional, no matter how hard you work. Rushing through the job is likely to result in inferior work, expensive crrors oF time-consuming delays. But after — all, you can afford to take your time.

And he must have good reason. Grounds — for entering might be repair, damage inspection, or showing the premises to prospective new tenant or a purchaser. On the other hand, under no circumstances can the lan- ‘diord lock ‘the tenant out of the premises he has rented. Failure to pay rent can only be dealt with through the evic: allow the landlord to sell them off inorder torecoup costs and lost rent. ©: : The Rentalsman also has special powers to order an early termination of a tenancy if the behavior of the tenant causes great dariage. or disturbance, or endangers the safety of other tenants. But this isan emergency measure that is only used in extreme circumstances. a ; Other authorities as well, such as fire department or city health officiale; can order premises to be vacated if they do not comply with health, building and safety standards. _ Special circumstances can also free landlords from the reqquirement that they have just cause for evicting tenants. For example, if a landlord has a genuine requirement for the. premises for himself, his spouse, his child, or his parents for a period of at least 12 months, he may evict tenants with 60 days notice. a . Some landlords have abused these special procedures, evicting unwanted tenants with the excuse they wanted their mother to movie In; They then rented the premises out to new tenants. Such-abuse has lead the Rentalsman to look ‘rather carefully at cases lke this, Landlord’ who resort to this trick may well find themselves In legal hot water. They can be held llable for-all the tenant's extra rent and utility ts, . The other major special. circumstance that allows Jan- dlords to evict tenants. without just cause involves renovations or demolition. In this case, the law allows lan- dlords to evict with 120 days notice, effective the end of the rental payment period, Again, landlords cannot use thie asa ploy. to get rid of tenants they don't like but can’t evict under the legal requirement of just cause. The renovations must be major enough that emptying the premises ls a necessity. Likewise, the demolition must be real.. Here too, the Ren- talsman will be watching out for evidence of abuse. Landlords-who evict their tenants so they can renovate or demolish their premises are required to pay tenants’ moving costs up to $340. . ; ; A tenant must get his landlord's permission before subletting the premises to another person. Whether to ellaw a tenant to sublet or not is enitirely at the discretlon of the landlord unless a clause in the original agreement allows subletting to an acceptable tenant. The Jundlord cannot charge any fee for giving his permission to sublet. .
