problems with contractors

[Elton Merril]

Hi,

I am a Canadian investor focusing on Ontario. I hired a contractor to fix my investment property and paid a considerable amount as a deposit. The project does not move forward for months. The guy avoids face-to-face communication, however, he does answer my enquiries with promices which he never fulfills. I am ready to quit the contract, but, I do not know how to do it correctly and also how to get my money back.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you!
