I have a buddy who rents a house here in Calgary. Nice enough house, but the yard was terrible.
He asked me if I would help him build a raised cedar garden so he could have some herbs and flowers in the front yard (he's not very handy).
He has now had the garden for 4 years, and quite likes it. However, the landlord is retiring and moving to BC, so he's listing the house for sale. He was nice enough to let my friend know about this 2 years ago, but still, he has to find a new house to live in.
So naturally, my friend is absolutely livid that the landlord isn't willing to pay to have the garden transplanted across the city to his new house, nor is the landlord willing to reimburse him for the value of the garden that he built.
I mean, who does this landlord think he is? Taking advantage of a single father, working on a fixed income! It isn't fair that the landlord can just do WHATEVER he wants with his own property! He only gave my friend 2 years notice that he would have to move!! Why didn't he give him the notice 4 years ago, when my friend wanted to build the garden!!
