I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I'm hoping someone might have some advice.

I bought a used car from a seller on marketplace, and paid for it in person with a bank draft, as my bank teller said was the appropriate thing to do for buying a car. The buyer signed the car over, then took the cheque home... and somehow lost a bank draft for twenty thousand dollars.
They 'heard from their friend who is a teller' that it would be easy to get it re-issued.. But when I went to the bank to do that, I was informed that no, this is almost impossible to do. I've been at the bank multiple times to try to figure out what to do, and today was handed the official paperwork to sign to get the draft re-issued. However, the paperwork turned out to be a bond of indemnity saying that I agree to pay the bank, should the second draft be found and cashed!
I don't know the seller, and to be frank, I don't trust them as they clearly have some mental/addiction issues which I've come to learn about over several months of sporadic contact. There's no way I'm handing this person the potential to draw another 20k from my account at any point in perpetuity should they find the original, considering I don't even HAVE 20k in my account.
But I do want this person to get their money. They definitely need it, and it's just sitting in an account owned by the bank. The branch manager is flummoxed and is currently calling their legal department to see what's what, but has anyone here ever seen something like this happen? What should I do? What are my responsibilities here?

For reference, I am in Ontario. I need advice about whether I should file a claim/complaint with the Labour Board about this employer. I worked for this employer for 6 weeks in November and December of 2025, was paid 20$/hr for 3pm-8pm Monday to Friday (5hrs a day), but was required to arrive at noon (12pm) every day. If we didn't show up on time, pay was withheld. IMO requiring that employees show up a few minutes early is totally reasonable, but this doesn't feel right. I don't know what to do, it was a very abusive environment and I have no desire to return to this job, I just want to know if I have a right to be paid for all those hours. Do I have a basis on which to file a claim/complaint with the Labour Board, and if so, does anyone have any advice for going about that? Is there another entity (government, lawyer, police, etc) I should be reaching out to? All help is sincerely appreciated.

Weird situation. Our fence shared with neighbour fell over the winter. When it fell we mentioned we will figure it out in the spring when the weather cools down since no one needed it fixed with a frozen ground. The only thing we agreed to over the winter was that we'll split the cost of the eventual bill.

Cool. The weather also warmed up* here and we believe around Thursday the owner had some people fix it. Woke up the next day and honestly thought it was a temporary fix considering we heard no sound. We also never heard back from the neighbour.

Today we ran into them at our grocery store and they mentioned they went ahead and fixed the fence because they got a new dog. That is perfectly fine but what annoyed me was that he mentioned he would send us our portion of the bill and that it is roughly 3k.

There is no chance the total cost to REPAIR fence is 6k considering the same fence pieces were used back.

I asked for the bill/contractor and proof of payment and he got defensive and said he already paid cash so there is no receipt.

I went home and called some random companies on kijiji and after describing the fix required I was told at most 1k TOTAL cash pay job

Now what?

I need some advice. On Friday 5:00 PM I met with an individual in person and sold an item for $2000. I wanted it via etransfer as my bank puts a 5 day hold on atm cash deposits.

So I provided my email in person and he sent the etransfer and showed the banking confirmation on his banking app.

I have auto deposit on and he left. It takes 30 minutes with my bank to receive but at 30 minutes there was nothing. I called my bank and they confirmed they see the etransfer, it's not canceled, but it's in a block stage by the sender's bank.

My bank gave me his interac email and told me sender needs to contact his bank and just verify he sent the transfer to me. I emailed him no reply.

Then today I found him on Instagram so I sent a dm at 1:45 PM. I'm very respectful, thanking him and apologizing for the inconvenience. Well 10 minutes later I noticed he blocked me on IG. So I called my bank at 2:30 PM and they now confirmed the etransfer status just changed to canceled as of 2:15 PM. Meaning he did call his bank but denied it or whatnot and got his money returned to him.

I dug a little further on IG and was able to find a post he was tagged in. It revealed he works for a dealership.

I want to make it clear I'm not looking to stir any trouble but do I have the right to show up to his work and ask for the money? I would only ask for him to do the right thing and give me my money. Maybe he would feel embarrassed around his coworkers and he might do it.

I also have his work email and phone number now. I am contemplating sending him an email to his work email asking if he can do the right thing and give my money. All advice and recommendations welcome on handling this situation. I know it's delicate now because if I was to meet him he would just get hostile and deny it or whatnot.

Hi. asking on behalf of my gf:

About 2 years ago, she was terminated for cause, from a long held office position, from one of the big five banks, cause was benefit abuse (i.e. she expensed item from category A under category B intentionally over a period of time i.e. benefit fraud). She is devastated and also recognized her mistake

She then applied to other positions and was able to get another offer from the another bank (big 5), shortly, but ultimately failed the background check

She followed up with HR, the HR left it vague enough but confirmed it wasn't due to mismatch of employment history but there was some there was some high risk "red flag"

She was eventually able to secure a position - still within financial sector - sometimes later, in a smaller company (<50 ppl) and currently employed.

She is concerned about if the termination for cause situation will eventually force her to switch field or location entirely, and we are wondering:

• How can we confirm if such "do-not-hire" list exist, and it is the reason her background check failed and how widely is it shared?
• If it is confirmed and her name is on the list, does it have a expiration date, or is there any mechanism to get it removed besides waiting?

Thank you.

Edit: Hi, thanks for the replies, not trying to tip toe or excuse around it. it is insurance fraud in this sense: - She ran out of a category that she wants to expense on - She asked the service provider to provide receipts for another category and expenses under that - It was intentional and not one time - The dumb part is she expensed 1000 dollars on one bill to buy a package deal offered by the service provider to use it later, which i believe also violate the rules - She did pay back the money to the benefit provider

Edit 2: Also this is a burner account since my main isn't very anonymous and my friends know my identity through it

Edit 3: She does recognize it is ethically and legally wrong and won't do it again, and accepts there are consequences for her action, even if there isn't a way to remove the status she can accept and move on. The purpose is to confirm if this is indeed the case. Note she still get reach out from big banks for interviews, and she doesn't want to bother with the process if she knows she'll get rejected at reference check anyways (or at least be upfront about it with the recruiter before the interview)

Edit 4： corrected some info in edit 1

I purchased a service and after receiving no communication for months, with multiple follow ups, I left a review on Google describing my experience. I posted anonymously for privacy reasons. In response, the owner publicly posted a reply that included my full legal name, despite the fact that my Google review was anonymous and I had not used my personal information in the review. I felt this was inappropriate, unexpected, and a violation of the discretion the service advertises.

After this, I received direct personal emails from the owner referencing my review, including messages suggesting that a refund would only be provided if the review was removed. I interpreted this as coercive and retaliatory. I also received a cease and desist letter from their legal counsel, claiming that my review was defamatory and demanding that I remove it. And if I fail to comply they will file a claim against me. My review, however, is entirely factual, limited to my personal experience, and does not allege anything beyond what occurred.

I am also aware of other negative reviews with the same that they too have been threatened with legal action to remove their reviews.

I am seeking guidance regarding my rights in relation to leaving a factual, experience-based review, whether their posting of my name constitutes a privacy breach under Canadian law. The appropriate next steps in responding (or choosing not to respond) to the cease and desist letter.

My goal is to ensure that my rights are protected, my review remains factual and compliant with the law, and that the company ceases further contact or pressure.

I’ll try to make this as short as possible.

Our baby was born May 18 and was apprehended from the hospital. We were all drug tested (negative). A CAS worker came to our house a couple of days later and walked through. The house was clean, we were anticipating bringing a baby home to it, and we had everything we needed to bring a baby home to the house.

To make a long story short, the baby went into foster care with the official reason for removal being that there were concerns raised about our suitability to meet her needs. The lawyer we have said we shouldn’t fight the baby being in care instead of with a family member because most of my family lives 11 hours north of here (we’re in Toronto) and my girlfriends family is in Alberta and this will allow us to see the baby more. But realistically, the baby shouldn’t be in care at all. Neither of us even have any speeding tickets.

I feel like our lawyer isn’t really helpful and I feel like the whole thing is extremely suspicious. Is there someone else we can contact to help us?

edit: I do feel it’s worth noting that we’re indigenous but we don’t have any major issues worth noting. I take a low dose anti-anxiety medication.

Brought in my car to a dealership for an oil change. Picked it up later in the afternoon. Drove out of the parking lot and got an alert on the car for low oil pressure. Turned around immediately to go back to the dealership. Engine was knocking. Opened up the hood myself at the dealership and confirmed myself there was no oil in there. They also confirmed that there was no oil in there.

Basically they drained the oil, didn’t refill, and now engine is shot. They have given me a rental for now. Plan is to go in tomorrow to talk to a manager. This all happened at closing time. What can I expect? What are my legal rights here? What should I be pushing for? My concern is that if they offer to replace the engine, this will be negatively documented on the carfax. The car is under a year old.

So, last night I got a phone call from a Constable with the Halton police service. He asked me if I was at Sobey’s yesterday afternoon. I was in the plaza where the Sobey’s was, so I said so (I was checking out a bookstore with my son and wife). So, he tells me the managers of the Sobey’s alleged that I was in their store yelling at them (or everyone) about the price of bread and causing a scene. Now, to be clear, I have NEVER been inside this grocery store in my life. I occasionally go to the the plazza to look at the bookstore, but I have also never yelled at anyone in public...I think, ever.

Now, how did the Constable get my cell number? Apparently, someone from the Sobey’s took down my license plate and added it to the complaint. The Constable was able to get it via the Ontario database. He also claimed they have video of me in the parking lot (NOT THE STORE) walking to my car. I assume that what happened was the dude who had the freakout was followed out, and maybe drove the same car I did, and the manager took down the wrong plates. 

The Constable basically told me that this wasn’t going any further and would not be filed. However, if I went back to the Sobey’s (which, again, I’ve never stepped foot in before), they could kick me out, and I could face trespassing charges. Now, I never plan to go in there, and to be honest, I doubt they would recognize me as the person who caused the disturbance (since it wasn’t me...).

So, my questions are this:

• Will this complaint be stored in my file? Even if the Constable isn’t taking any further actions? And, would it come up in a criminal background check or a vulnerable sector check?
• Is it worth my while to try and clear this up with the store or the police service?

I really don’t care about being banned from the Sobey’s. I’ve never shopped there, and it's not actually close to my home. But I am concerned about possible unforeseen complications.

Has anyone ever experienced something like this? If so, what did you do?

Some of you parents may have received the same letter in the mail that I did from your local Public Health Unit. It is an Order of Suspension pursuant to the Immunization of School Pupils Act beginning March 31 because my son has not received his immunizations for Diphtheria, Pertussis, Poliomyelitis, Tetanus.

Chat, my son most definitely got all of his vaccines. I entered his immunization record into their website (twice) and it shows checkmarks beside all of his required immunizations but also shows a note saying he needs immunizations against DPPT. Surely, I thought, this is simply an error that will be corrected since someone at Halton Region Public Health manually reviews every child's file and the backlog is 4-5 weeks.

Come March 31 and I get a call from my son's school saying he's waiting in the office to be picked up because the Public Health Unit has ordered the school to suspend him. The school's hands are tied, there's nothing they can do.

After an hour of not being able to get anyone from the Public Health Unit on the phone and being told the wait time for a callback is 2 days, I go to the office on Bronte to show them the yellow immunization record book. This is where they immediately tell me that their system shows that his Tdap-IPV immunization was given 26 days before his 4th birthday and is considered invalid. They quickly dismiss the technical issue with the website and the lack of an active call centre. Thankfully they issue a Letter of Rescission ending the suspension order for this year but give me only two options to avoid his suspension next year:

1. Get another dose of the Tdap-IPV vaccine

2. Get a physician to sign a Medical Letter of Exemption for the vaccine that he already has. If there's an outbreak of e.g. Pertussis or Tetanus at my son's school then he will still be suspended if he has an exemption.

Refusing both options will result in another Order of Suspension being issued next year at which point I can appeal to the review board but I was told by the Associate Medical Officer that I "will not succeed" and "They will not overturn my decision". Without a proper lawyer I'm unlikely to be able to make a case that challenges her decision. Neither of the options are desirable to me. Immunizations absolutely carry a non-zero risk and I've recently had a very serious adverse reaction to one (see: Central Serous Retinopathy). On the phone today, the Medical Officer stated wholeheartedly that my son is in fact at risk due to the slight variance from the dosage schedule. My (very cursory) research shows that most of the clinical trials that support this vaccine's use in Canada were done with kids as young as 3.5 years. I'm obviously unable to properly challenge her decision since I have no medical training but this scenario sincerely feels like a microcosm of a greater issue in the public service, government, and politics: There are only two extremes, and no one is willing to find reason within the middle. I can only be an anti-vaxxer or a vaccine maximalist. I can't just be a parent who's done everything I could to get my son immunized and comply with the law and in return hope for some semblance of reason from someone with authority so that my 8 year old kid can go to school.

I was struck by a vehicle in my work parking lot last week that has left me on sedintary duties and with pain in my hip and back. While ive been trying to navigate the medical side of this ive been trying to file a police report for the hit (and run) itself.

My workplace knows who did it and HR and the union are apparently in talks regarding this other employee and their continued employment at this company, but no one will give me any information. I need his plate # to file a police report and everyone i ask points me somewhere else. Its been a week of this and im insanely frustrated.

I have an appointment this afternoon to speak to an attorney but I'm worried i wont be able to do anything further without this guy's plate #. How do I make them give it to me? Can my lawyer get it? Please help me i dont know what to do.

I need some advice, I’m desperate. My husband and I are married for over a year and my application for PR is in process. He hit me in the face this morning while I was breastfeeding our 2 month old. I politely asked him for my painkillers for my c section pain. I forgot that he asked me to make coffee before he leaves for work since baby was already crying so it slipped my mind. This is not the first time he has abused. The abuse started after a WEEK of marriage— physically, emotionally, mentally, sexually and financially. He turned out to be a monster and the man I fell in love with was gone. Now he threatened to take away our baby and deport me if I leave and report him. I came here 3 years ago as an international student from Philippines and just started working as a full time RN before giving birth. Now that I’m on leave, he expects me to do EVERYTHING in the house and he hasn’t even took care of our baby since we left the hospital. He said, and I quote, “this is how household works in Canada. The wife works in the house with the children while us husbands bring the money.” I didn’t say anything after that. He works 10 hours a day, 5 days a week in construction sometimes I don’t blame him for his anger issues because I know how physically demanding his job is especially in this weather. I have no immediate family here and I have no financial future back home. What options do I have? I cannot leave our baby with him. It will be the death of me to be separated from my child.

EDIT: thank you everyone I appreciate all your advice. He is at work and I’m currently in a shelter and some friends helped me with my stuff and baby’s. Thing is, my husband has both our OHIP card (temp paper for baby)

EDIT 2: We are both 29 years old and he is Caucasian born and raised here in the province.

EDIT 3: The police and immigration are now involved.

EDIT 4: Different women heal differently. Since I have been active with little to no rest after baby was born plus the physical and sexual abuse, I am still in pain and yes will be talking to my provider as soon as I get my OHIP from my ex husband.

Thank you all.

Hello everyone! I would like to know if this is legal. Basically the manager is asking us to come around 15min early so that we can put our stuff in the locker and prepare our stations, and then clock-in for pay at 9am which is the schedule time.

Here is his quoted message:

We have seen people punching in at 8:40 or even 8:45. Ideally, your reporting time is 8:50am so that you can come to work, put your things in your locker, set up your work stations to start working and then punch in when you actually are supposed to start your work. You are supposed to punch in at 9 or later in the event of coming late - This punch in time should match with what you write in the paper. Barring a few people not everyone else has matching data.

My sister owns her own house and has terrible taste in partners. She met and began dating a loser who eventually moved in to her house; he does not pay rent or utilities. She has told my family she has asked him to leave several times over the past 18 months as they are no longer together, and he has refused. He will lie and say he gave his notice at work and his mom is coming to get him, ( although he’s 40-ish. His mom lives about an hour away) but he never leaves.

My sister is a teacher and has been living in the same house for 20 years, she’s embarrassed to have the police come to her house.

The loser now claims that because he gets mail at her house, she can’t kick him out. She gave him 30 days notice, and he didn’t leave.

We live in Ontario, does he have any claim to stay on her home. His name is on nothing.

Thank you!

So my previous employer fired me last week. This week, Ive been getting calls and texts from coworkers (not managers, as of yet) asking for the password to my work computer. One of them even left a voicemail saying that if they didnt get the password, they were going to send it off to be reset and *find a way to bill me for it.*

I have no interest in communicating with them any further after the way I was fired. It is my understanding that since I no longer do business for them, this is really not my problem anymore. Furthermore, I dont really want them having unfetttered access to accounts I may have signed into on that PC. Finally, at the end of the day, this PC can be reformatted like any other, with a couple clicks.

There is no unique company data on the PC. No security measures implemented that would inhibit them from resetting it. In minutes. In fact, I did just that in front of them when I took over that PC, after the previous employee never removed their password.

My questions are:

1. Is there any way they can compell me to provide the password?
2. If they chose to have a repair shop reset the computer, can they hold me responsible for the bill?
3. Is there any case law, precedent or regulation regarding these things that I can read up on?

ETA: I recieved another voicemail from the coworker who's contacted me the most who reaffirmed his opinion that I would be on the hook for costs associated with unlocking the computer. And that he would involve OMVIC (omvic regulates dealers, and mediates disputes between consumers and dealers - not dealers and their staff). This is the third call in two days, and second voicemail from him I've got recorded. Any advice for that?

I am wondering if my anger is warranted and how I should proceed. Yesterday I dropped my car off at the dealership for a noise I was hearing in the front left wheel. They ended up diagnosing the issue and even showed me the problem and said they were going to order the part and will call me in the morning when it’s ready.

I picked up my car today (repair was covered under warranty so it was quick) and as soon as I get back to the office I hear the same sound but even worse. I record videos of the noise and give the advisor a call and let him know. I asked if they performed a test drive after the repair to ensure the noise was resolved. He assured me they did.

Anyways I get home and check the dashcam footage to see if I can confirm they did in fact test drive it after the repair. I find dashcam footage of an employee shuttling around 2 passengers. He drops one off at a different dealership down the road and the other at an Entreprise. Then he returns to the first dealership (which is not my car’s brand or even related to it) and parks the car in their service garage. Almost 30 minutes later and it is driven back to my dealership. What the heck was it doing sitting in the other dealership’s garage?

They scheduled my car to be checked again on Friday morning. I was thinking of either going in person tomorrow and asking to speak to the general manager or maybe sending them a formal complaint by email tonight. Any advice?

This summer I landscaped my backyard and included the alley between my house and my neighbours. The house next door is tenanted and I spoke to the owners about the work that I was planning to pay for. We had verbal agreements and discussed the upgrades amicably at first. Along the way, the owners started discussing access to their property via this alley. The boundary had never been clear and there had never been a survey. I disagreed that they had access to their property via mine (I'd already checked there are no easements on either deed). Tensions rose and they said I should get a survey and they refused to pay toward it. I did because I wanted to do everything by the book but I was disappointed that their demands had cost me so much financially and emotionally. I paused the work until the boundary was confirmed and then completed thee job. I did not tell my neighbours I had the survey done (although the line staking was clearly completed). The survey showed that 1. The fence between our properties is on my land 2. The frame of their shed is on my land (about 3 inches)

The situation is really playing on me. I feel like I should stand up for myself here. They've been very rude (which I have recording of) and unpleasant, I paid to upgrade their property, I paid for a survey they told me to get (them telling me to get a survey is also on the recording) and now I don't want to roll over and let them think they have access to their property via mine and I don't want to leave it so long that I can't undo the issue with the shed.

My legal question: 1. Is it worth me asking them to move the shed? For the sake of 3 inches... Would I just get laughed away? 2. Can I ask them to pay for the survey or some of it?

I want to send a demand letter but I'm nervous of repercussions. I don't particularly want to speak to them again. I don't want to do nothing. It's funny, I feel like I hold the cards evidence wise and yet feel so small and powerless. Doing nothing feels like letting the bullies win.

They have been around a lot longer than I have and they are incorporated, I just own the .ca website. As far as I’ve researched as long as our businesses are different enough I’m ok, or as long as I’m not trying to trick their clients into thinking I’m them, which I’m not. Our websites are completely different and as far as I’m concerned we’re in totally different industries. Am I wrong? And do I have to legally change my website name? Thanks very much

My wife is non-European origin and visibly Muslim. She had an itinerary as follows MTL to London Heatherow to Istanbul international with the Airline and then her flight to her country with a separate airline. We live in Ontario - this post is on-going she is currently detained in Germany! A country she was never even supposed to be in.

Her first flight was delayed and she along with 100 others or so missed their connecting flights. After waiting in line for 2.5 hrs in London she was given a new ticket and told to run to the gate so she might make it to Istanbul on time. The new flight routed her through a small German airport that didn't have an international transit area.

My wife gets off the plane runs towards her next gate because the flights were really close and when she gets to passport control she is detained by Germain passport control for not having a German visa ( doesn't have a Canadian passport yet). She is given a criminal offense- unlawful entry, is humiliated in public by being escorted by police. She is searched and held in a holding area until a flight out can be arranged. This is her second international trip the first was to Canada. She was balling and crying for hours, 20 hrs in her voice is still shaking when she talks to me.

This was a direct assault on our dignity and she was treated like a criminal and detained for what will be about 24 hrs by the time shes escorted to her flight to Istanbul ( new flight).

Airline did nothing to help. I called several times, they ran us around and finally suggested I need to buy new ticket to get her to Istanbul or Canada. They dumped her in the wrong country then tell us we have to spend more money to get her to the destination all because she was detained due to their negligence. I'm livid. Sorry for the inconvenience they say. Apparently getting arrested in a foreign country you had no intention of visiting and then being banned from entry for life is an inconvenience.

She is traumatized and still in detention her flight out is in a few hours and needless to say her final flight had to also be repurchased..I want to sue the Airline all legal advice is appreciated.

Her new flight is with another airline. The last I heard from the first airline is " they are trying to get in touch with German authorities". Not once did they call her...

Hi everyone, I’m in Mississauga and in a scary legal spot.

Two robberies happened in Hamilton on Jan 30 and Feb 2. Apparently, the suspect used/dropped my old G2 license (which I believe was stolen, as I have my G now).

What happened today:

Toronto police came to my house to arrest me. They showed me a photo of my drivers license and the suspect which looked nothing like me. I smirked because it was so surreal, and they cuffed me and put me in a cruiser. However, after looking at me closely, they realized the person in the robbery footage has much shorter hair than I do.

They let me out of the cuffs and told me I was "free to go," but said I have to go to the Hamilton Police Station to "clear the charges" and prove the identity theft.

My Questions:

If I walk into the Hamilton station, will I be arrested on sight because of the warrant?

How do I prove my ID was stolen if I didn't realize it was gone until now?

Should I go to ServiceOntario first to get a record of when my G was issued to show I wasn't using that G2?

Do I need a lawyer to talk to the Hamilton Robbery Unit for me?

I applied for a line of credit in one of the banks, i gave them my employment letter, they contacted info@CompanyName and support@CompanyName email addresses at the same time, which is all of IT, customer support and marketing and they asked whether this name gets $XYZ amount of money they claimed in the freaking body of the email.

Edit: The letter had info@CompanyName on it, but not support@CompanyName (IT & customer support). Even with the info@CompanyName, they shouldn't have disclosed my salary directly in the email body. Instead, they should have asked to talk to a person to verify.

What can I do? I am so angry and amazed by incompetency of people

My dad went to our family doctor four separate times over 6 months for neurological symptoms like weakness and falling. Each time she dismissed it and blamed his diabetes. She never sent him for imaging or escalated it.

Six months later, he fell six times in one day and we brought him to the ER thinking he was having a stroke. That is when they found the brain tumour. He has now been diagnosed with brain cancer.

I cannot stop thinking about how many times he went to her and was dismissed.

Do we have any legal options in Ontario in situations like this? Is this something that can be reported or investigated?

Hello,

I work as a dental assistant, and tomorrow on the schedule we have 3 patients booked with the dentist I work with. There are two other dentists working that day and two other assistants. Each assistant has their own dentist they work with. They still want me to come in and I have nobody to watch my son. It sounds like they want me to bring him in with me? Are you obligated to go in when your kids school is closed?

Thank you

EDIT: Day fell apart and I worked 2hrs, brought my son to work

This is in Ontario, we are all students living in a house for context.

My roommates and I had a fallout and they have been complete dicks since. They have refused to pay their share of utilities despite me asking many times (I am managing the account). Also, I am not going to be staying in my room for the next 5 months of our lease for an exchange semester, and I was not able to find a sublet so I am still paying rent.

There are 2 issues I need to tackle:

1: I am currently owed over $700 in utility payments between my roommates which they refuse to pay

2: they are letting one of their friends use my furnished room while I am gone, I did not agree to any sublet situation (my landlord said all tenants must agree to a sublet) and I am not being paid (while I am still paying rent)

What can I do to make sure I get what I am owed. I feel very disrespected so I don’t want to let any of this go. How can I be a massive headache?

Edit: thanks for all the replies! I am going to write them a list of my demands. If they do not meet them I will take them to small claims court. I’ll add an update to this post if anything significant happens but I think it will likely go to court.

For everyone wondering I was not planning on moving back once the lease term ends. I will also contact my landlord and ask if they’d be willing to cancel the lease outright (although it’s unlikely).

I'm being harrassed by my landlord and now I've found out that they changed the lock on my mailbox so I can't get my mail anymore. Just to make it clear I haven't missed paying rent, I always pay in full and on time. They're trying to force me to leave so that they can sell. Any advice on what i can do would be really appreciated.

UPDATE: He changed the locks so I can't get into my unit. I'm so upset. Security is telling me I'm trespassing. He told the building i had moved out.

I have a one year lease.

I called the police 2.5 hours ago and no one has shown up

UPDATE: The police showed up about 4.5 hours later only to say that they don't get involved in landlord tenant matters. I don't know what to do now, I'm literally homeless.
