Woman gets her money A NINE months pregnant woman on welfare took to the streets two weeks ago in an effort to get $726.42 owed to her by a local . landlord. Natalie Petit had given the landlord, Roger Bal, a cheque from social assis- tance for a damage deposit and first month’s rent for a house at 4606 Scott Ave. She looked at the house on her own and told Bal she would take it provided . repairs were made. But after realizing how much work was required, she decided it was unsafe for her two other children and chose not to move in. “I told her to go look at the house before taking it,” Bal said. “She said she wanted it.” No lease had been signed and Bal didn’t do an inspection with Petit to discuss rental conditions. She asked for her money back but after a month and a half Bal hadn't returned it. “He was supposed to pay on the 31 of March,” said Petit. “I’m nine months pregnant, [ don’t have time to wait for - money. I need to buy for- mula and diapers.” J By Tuesday, April 3, Petit hadnt received her tefund and that’s when she picked up her picket sign and started marching in front of Bal’s workplace. Within 20 minutes of standing on the street with her placard the money had been paid to the local so- cial assistance office which covers the living expenses of welfare reci- pients. Bal said he had every © intention of returning the money to the pregnant woman but had to wait until money from other bu- siness intetests came in at the end of the month, Medical Equipment Loan Service Your Donation Supports This Community “Service.
