@Dave & @Andrew, I haven't contacted my insurance company yet, because I was waiting for that precise next step.
However, I decided to see an attorney, so I will make a call to my insurance company after checking the law side.
In between, I have already sent an email to my insurance company on the day of receiving the law notice, but didn't get any response!

@Nathan G, that was a cut and right reply! Thank you so much, yes I'm up to consult an attorney and I have already scheduled an appointment.

Hey, it has been a while since I posted something here! Unfortunately, I came back with a bitter story!

I recently opened a kiosk and cafe on lease in Ottawa, Ontario. The leased space has this shop and a small parking lot, which can include a maximum of 3 small cars! My lease period is for six months, depending upon the business scope I will be extending the lease duration, this clause is there on the contract!

Before my cafe, there was a car wash (including the area behind my shop!), an air filling machine from the same is still there(not in working condition). On the New year's eve, a drunk girl fell by hitting on this machine, it is clear on the CCTV footage that she was drunk (it is visible by her walking style!), unfortunately, the machine side scenes are not clear due to fog! Now the girl has issued a law notice against me for the slip and fall settlement!

I'm only on the budding stage and I can't afford this now!

The machine isn't mine, the property as well. At the beginning of the lease agreement, I have asked my owner to remove these old tings from my site but he hasn't done anything for it! I called the landlord after realizing the offence, but he is not accepting his faults! I have no choices other than seeing a slip and fall settlements lawyer, to know the possibilities in this!

This board has too many law experts, so before meeting an attorney I would like to know if there are any possibilities for me to win this case!

The points I hope to favour me are;

1. I'm not the landowner!
2. I have already warned the landlord to transfer the machine from my property
3. There is no mention of the accident caused machine on my lease agreement (all other equipment details are included!)
4. The victim was drunk!

I can provide you with any further information if needed, please help!

@Mike Thanks! Well, do you have any suggestions? 

Also, I'd like to reshape the mirrors.It would be great if you have any intimation for that too.

This is my first post, I hope I'm in the right category!

The powder room of my new home has a stand-alone vanity, the kind you can get from Kijiji or home depot at $200-300. It is in an unpleasant colour which doesn't match the wall colour (we painted the entire home).

We renovated our old home and rented it, so in the beginning, I thought to call the same custom glass company

, who helped us with our old home renovation works. Later I changed the plan, due to some personal issues(I'm running out of money and on a tight schedule). And now I'm thinking of keeping the mirrors (After resizing it) and changing the vanity shelves and mirror frames. Maybe the installation can be done on my own after getting the right products. Used products in good condition are also ok for me.

I'm planning to call some pros to get the plan and estimate costs, but I'm not sure what kind of labour this would require. I don't want to ruin the entire place, I just want to remove the shelves safely without harming the surrounding stuff.

The mirror is huge and it is in a rectangular shape, I would like to resize it (preferably reshape). I'm attaching an image so that it will be easier for you to respond to my query.

I hope some of you can guide me through this.

Many thanks. 

Hey, this is the first time I'm posting something in this forum.

I'm moving to my new home in Toronto.

I have a plan to sell my current home, not soon. Yeah, but maybe in this year!

I'm a family person. I already spent a lot in my home. Mostly in the backyard area. Our home has limited space, though the back yard is huge! We always encountered storage issue, that is the main reason for this shifting. We spent a lot in adding amenities. Last November, my hubby formed two backyard sheds for storage . It was done with the help of a nearby company here.

What bothers me now is, we haven't utilized it well! It has been only a few months. And we are moving to some other places! I truly feel it as a loss!

Can we consider these expenses while estimating our home resale value?? I googled about this, and found we can't expect dollar value for the amenities like pools, landscapes and all!

Our new home is huge, but the back yard is not that spacious, so can't consider shifting the sheds to there.

PS: I've attached a few pics of our new sheds
