I’m dealing with a complicated situation with my neighbor and my former realtor in Quebec, and I’d like some advice.
A few key points:
-My neighbor has been complaining about my gutter, hedges, snow placement, and even my husband parking on a public street. None of this was an issue for the previous owners, and I have confirmation from them that he never complained.
-He recently sent us a 5-page legal demand letter about drainage and other alleged property issues.
-My former realtor, who sold us the house, is affiliated with this neighbor. I’ve seen her visit his house with a contractor to discuss our gutter and drainage issues — sometimes stepping on our property — and I have photographic proof.
-The neighbor has referenced details from our certificate of location and other private documents that shouldn’t be publicly available. To my knowledge, the only other person with access is our realtor.
Because of her affiliation, I cannot contact the realtor for assistance or clarification about the property she sold us.
I’d like to know:
-Does this situation sound like something worth pursuing with OACIQ?
-Has anyone dealt with a realtor being affiliated with a neighbor and possibly sharing confidential information?

This sounds sketchy as hell – your realtor definitely shouldn’t be sharing your private docs with the neighbor, especially if they’re buddies. I’d absolutely file with OACIQ because that’s a clear breach of confidentiality. Document everything you can and maybe get a lawyer to send them both a cease and desist letter about the property visits
