My experience of being detained in Canada

My experience of being detained in Canada

Xiaonan is a new immigrant from mainland China. After more than a year of legal battles, she called At this time, she has nowhere to go. She hopes to get guidance and help from her friends.

Xiaonan’s lawsuit is not complicated. There was a dispute between her and her landlord. The landlord withheld her things and refused to give them back, but she wanted her things back. Unexpectedly, the total *** was not worth much. After more than a year of litigation and spending more than 10,000 yuan in legal fees, she still could not see any hope. Xiaonan said that the reason why she was so persistent was because among those worthless things, there was a watch, and this watch was a relic left to her by her father...

Because her father was ill, Xiaonan returned to China. Stayed for a long time. After her father died, she returned to Toronto and renting an apartment was her first concern. Before leaving Toronto, she lived alone in a two-bedroom house because she had more things. After seeing a rental advertisement, she called for consultation and the other party was very enthusiastic. It was a one-room apartment in an independent house. After viewing the house, she was dissatisfied because she had many things and the house provided by the landlord was not big. But the landlord was very enthusiastic and claimed that there was a lot of space in the basement that she could use for free.

Xiaonan couldn’t find a more suitable house for a while, so she was moved by what the landlord said. The landlord is a single Western man in his 60s who claims to be British.

What Xiaonan felt unhappy was that after she paid a deposit of 500 yuan in advance, the old man turned around and left after getting the money. He was very unfriendly and completely different from before.

After paying a deposit of 500 yuan in advance, Xiaonan felt very bad and proposed not to rent the house. The old man said that the deposit would not be refunded. Xiaonan had no choice but to move in on March 1, 2006. After moving in, the old man's attitude was very bad. He often yelled at her over trivial things. He thought she had too many things and took up space in his garage. The old man came to collect the rent on time every month, and after collecting the rent, he rushed Xiaonan to move.

Once Xiaonan found that some of her things were missing, and finally found them in a corner outside the house. She also found that the new tenant was using her things. When she asked, she found out that the old man had asked her to use them. The old man said those things belonged to him. Xiaonan was very angry, but the old man smiled and said, if you think this place is not good, you should move out.

On January 12, 2007, after another quarrel, the old man punched Xiao Nan. Xiao Nan called the police. When the police came, the old man refused to admit that he had punched her, and since no one testified, he could only That was settled.

Afterwards, the old man intensified his efforts and teamed up with a black tenant to frame her. One night, after verbally insulting Xiao Nan, the old man looked at the angry Xiao Nan and asked: Do you want to kill me? Xiao Nan gritted his teeth and said: Yes, I really want to kill you, you bastard. The old man immediately called the police. It turned out that the old man had used his mobile phone to record Xiaonan's words, and a black tenant testified. When the police arrived, they gave Xiaonan five minutes to move. If Xiaonan refused, the police took her back to the police station, detained her for a night, recorded a confession, and then appeared in court. Before Xiaonan went to the police station, she only brought her ID and some receipts, including rent receipts.

The room key was taken away. Xiaonan could no longer return to the old man’s house and could not take out all her belongings. Every time I go to the old man's house, the old man doesn't open the door. Xiaonan had nothing but daily necessities such as clothes, so she had no choice but to live in a shelter.

After consultation, Xiaonan sued the old man and demanded the return of his things. The old man thought that Xiaonan could not provide evidence to counter-sue her for rent arrears. Fortunately, Xiaonan took away all the rent receipts and the old man lost the case. The court ruled that the old man should return the things, but the old man only returned a small part and then said there was none. Xiaonan said that the TV, microwave and other supplies were still with the old man, and the most important thing was a watch, which was a gift from her father and has now become a precious souvenir.

Xiao Nan said that she didn’t need anything else, she only wanted to return this watch, but the old man said no.

In order to litigate the lawsuit, Xiaonan paid more than 10,000 yuan in legal fees. Now she is penniless, and the lawsuit has just begun. Xiaonan hopes to get everyone's advice on how she can get back the watch her father gave her?
