I'll just chime in with quick & dirty advice (Now that the Law Society owns my ass as a licensed paralegal I have to be far more careful about what I say / do)
First, document everything and keep copies of any complaint letters to the landlord. In fact right now you can and should be holding the landlord responsible as you and he have contracted that you pay him rent and he gives you a place fit for habitation (including the right to quiet enjoyment)
If the landlord cannot (or refuses to) deal with these tenants then you have the legal right to hold the landlord responsible for the loss of quiet enjoyment by applying to the Landlord and Tenant Board arguing that the landlord has failed in his responsibilites under the Residentail Tenancies Act.
N.B. the above is general legal advice and in no way should be taken as direct advice to your situation, you can contact your local community legal clinic to get specific advice about your case
There, I think I answered the question and covered my rear :ph34r:
(Paranoia is a free 'perk' of being part of the Law Society :rolleyes:)
