This delay might have stretched further had I not intervened and paid the carpenter and electrician myself on his behalf. Till today, more than 1 month since we moved in and almost 2 months since I paid on his behalf, he still owes us $7350 in total with no concrete promise of repayment, only delay tactics. I lodged a case with Small Claims Tribunal but he doesn’t seem fazed at all…At my wits end on how to get the money back. We suffered huge losses due to rental because of his delays too.
