I'll buy that!  When I moved from an apartment building to a basement
apartment in a house, I claimed mega-bucks (paid to XXX Property Mgmt
Corp.) on my special Ontario tax form while I had only paid mini-
bucks to my new landlord.  This set a flag in Revenue Canada's
software and I was contacted to prove I paid the mega-bucks.

I asked company XXX for a statement to that effect and they demanded
$25!  And after all the thousands I paid them!  I balked and told 
Revenue Canada.  They said they would look after it.  And they did!
