All landlords aren’t bad

An open letter to:
City Council, Terrace

Dear Sirs:

Re: March 9, 1998 council meeting,

Mr. Hull was making statements as ‘to my fitness as a
landlord without acquainting himself with all the facts con-
ceming the trailer at 51 Kalum Trailer Park.

The trailer was in a bad state of repair when viewed by
Mr. .Gipps but during the past year several attempts have
been made by carpenters employed by myself lo gain entry
into the trailer, The tenant would not allow them to enter
the trailer.

Several other attempls were made to have her evicted but
this was overruled by ihe Residential Tenancy Branch. The
tenant has not paid her rent in full for the past year and any
rent she did pay was put into trust with the Residential

Tenancy Branch. Much of the damage to the trailer oc-
curred during the past year.

If the trailer was so unbearable why did the tenant refuse
to move out when requested to do so. It seems to me thal
the condition could not have been too bad or she would
have moved out sooner.

To lay all the blame at the feet of the landlords is not cor-
rect, Some tenants do wreck the homes they rent, And this
is not the first time I have had problems with renters
destroying property.

course and boasting about it,
it will encourage having
safe-sex, No matter what,
there will’ always be
teenagers having sex. But if
we can try to prevent un-
protected sex, with condom
machines, we can try to

town.

Teenagers, and most likely
adults as well, may feel
awkward going into a local
drug store to buy condoms,
but if condom machines
were in washrooms we
could just plunk in the

change and we would have
a condom.

Yes, we do need time and

course we are taking to
equip us is Career and Per-

We are taught how to use
a condom correctly, but if
we arc too afraid to buy

we ever use hem?
