call the tenancy tribunal and get them involved. That is absolutely ridiculous.

Call the tribunal. Don't try fix things yourself.

Definitely look into getting the tribunal involved, you may be entitled to reasonable rent reduction for the time you have been without.

There should be a Tenancy Advocacy Service in you region (try google), they offer free advice and assistance and handle matter like this all the time. Get in touch with them ASAP. The other thing to do is contact your REA and tell them that if they don't get this issue fixed ASAP, you will take the matter to tribunal - that usually scared them enough to pull their act together.
