A Canadian comedy duo says they’re fighting to keep their Toronto apartment after a bizarre dispute over air-quality readings that they believe may have been caused by their excessive flatulence.
Performers S.E. Grummett and Sam Kruger, known as the Creepy Boys, say their landlord became concerned about air-quality monitor readings and suspected indoor smoking. The pair insist they don’t smoke inside and say they even changed their cooking and household routines to try to identify the source. After researching the issue, they concluded the readings may have been triggered by normal human activity… including passing gas.
The comedians later received an eviction notice and now claim it’s retaliation for asserting their tenant rights, an allegation that has not been proven. They’ve launched a crowdfunding campaign to help pay legal fees and say a move could significantly increase their housing costs. For now, they’re waiting on a ruling from Ontario’s Landlord and Tenant Board. Until then, the case remains up in the air… along with the cause of those mysterious readings.
