What is what do you know of their procedure if you're, not at home?
0:15:50
What is the interpretation of what you think how they should come into your apartment?
Miss Walden
0:15:58
If it's an emergency, I could see.
0:16:01
But what happened when they took me to court, the judge said for the attorneys to come to an agreement, but they must have the proper equipment before they break the floors because they don't know whether asbestos is there or not.
0:16:18
I wasn't refusing, but I wanted to be mindful that I have to protect myself.

I could see if it was an emergency, but they had promised me with agreement that I could move to the building 155.

So did they give you a reason why they denied or they changed their mind moving you to a next building?
Miss Walden

The relocation apartment, that it was rented out.

But no one got back to me until they brought a whole entourage up one day, telling me they were going to relocate.
0:16:50
I said, But the agreement was that I would like prefer the other apartment.
0:16:54
No one notified me.
0:16:56
I had to call to find out what was happening.
0:16:58
Then, they relocated me to vents in our building is not working at all.
