It’s an odd story to be sure — a student leader at the centre of these massive protests in Montreal — fails to pay the rent. But what’s odder is the excuse Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois and his buddies tried to use on the judge:
The landlord alleged that the March and April rental payments, each of $950, were never made. Nadeau-Dubois alleged that they were made on March 12th and April 2nd respectively. On each occasion, he and his roommates purportedly left envelopes stuffed with $950 in cash in their landlord’s unlocked, outdoor mailbox. As evidence of this, they adduced bank receipts showing two $1000 withdrawals from Mr. Nadeau-Dubois’ personal bank account which they argued constituted sufficient proof of the payment. When the Régie suggested that these were proof of nothing more than two separate, one thousand dollar bank withdrawals, Nadeau-Dubois responded with what Judge Guay referred to as “syllogisms from Mr. Nadeau-Dubois and circumstances alleged to the detriment of the landlord.”
