227 porcupine creek road, Ymir, British Columbia

Last November 2012, a friend and I rented this house, after the one we were so stoke about burnt to the ground a few days before moving in.
The Ymir house, well is an old log cabin, which had a second floor added to it at some point.  The place slowly became a living hell, my friend moved out in the spring and since I have had nothing but headaches from the owners.
When things were still going good, kirsten owner of Under the Willow, Inner Wellness, commissioned me for a sculpture, I delivered the sculpture on July 13, 2013, thinking all was well and thus my rent was paid.  To this point I had been doing yard work for her and her husband, on their property.  As well as bringing the house I live in up to snuff, with tonnes of yard work, clearing tree's, making flower beds, putting in a garden.
During the winter one of the wood stoves died, which sucked, than in January wasps started falling from the ceiling upstairs.
Anyways back to July and August, on August first I awake to the sculpture being dropped in the driveway along with a ten day eviction notice.  My guess is Kirsten did not tell her husband about our barter arrangement.  The commission sculptured had sat in her store for two weeks, she raved about it and posted pictures on facebook when she received the pieces. Suddenly the barter did not exist, the work I had done in her yard and on the sculpture were not going to cover my rent.
I had a feeling a few days before that something bad was going to happen so I filed with the rent review folks in Victoria.  We had our hearing and I won, which rocks. Mike and Kirsten were given two weeks to fix the leaking roof, inspect and or replace the wood stoves, fix the broken cupboards, remove the twenty year old stained nasty carpets, remove the garbage pile, remove the semi trailer, and call pest control.  Two weeks have passed and nothing has happened.  They claim they never got the decision from rent review, even though I dropped a copy off too them last Monday as per the instructions from rent review.  Mike refused to take it when I saw him to drop it off.
Mike and Kirsten have shown the house without permission and have tried to enter on several occasion when I have not been home.  They have since served me with another eviction notice which I will fight.
The house is on the market to sell or rent and I do  not want to see another tenant screwed by them.  The folks that lived here before me, went through the same hell I am going through and no one should live in a house that has so many issues, including mold, the top floor slowly sliding off the main floor, the list goes on and on.
