I only gave this place one star due to their lack of maintenance and failure to respond to my requests Over the last couple of months there was a loud explosion coming from the top apartment and they were unable to figure out what was wrong It caused me not being able to sleep for an entire week as the whole building shook Additionally when I lost my keys for the parking lot and apartment they charged me even after I found them just an hour later I do not recommend anyone living here however a few staff members did help during my last month which is why it got one star more ... hide ...

I was a past tenant at this place and Im using a pseudonym to protect my identity from potential harassment if I have to rent from them again in the future The two Sams who work here were very different one of them was really nice while the other was an awful Karen Every year they would raise the rent unless we found a way to prevent it even during major COV 2022-09-14T10:32:17Z
I was a past tenant at this place and Im using a pseudonym to protect my identity from potential harassment if I have to rent from them again in the future The two Sams who work here were very different one of them was really nice while the other was an awful Karen Every year they would raise the rent unless we found a way to prevent it even during major COVID restrictions when it said you couldnt raise rent Even with all their bonuses and rebates 1600 dollars should not be so close to slumlike conditions think homeless people digging through trash or drug deals happening near exit doors but thats what it is like here The security guard isn't much help either as he hasnt been around lately Maintenance can be mixed bag some fixes are good but most just do the minimum amount of work necessary You can also hear your neighbors doing everyday activities like using the bathroom or singing in the shower due to how thin some walls are Despite all this I still like my suite its spacious with a nice patio and courtyard but management has an inflated opinion on how much these suites should cost considering everything else going on in this area With all that considered its definitely not worth paying such high rent prices for these suites alone more ... hide ...

I have had the misfortune of renting at this place and it is by far the worst They overcharge for parking double up on pet deposits and rent and try to enforce professional carpet cleaning which is against the Residential Tenancy Act Many people have fallen prey to this unlawful charge You are allowed to clean the carpets yourself I took my complaint to the RTA board and won The appliances they provide are old and barely functioning its supposed to be a nonsmoking building yet their own maintenance man smokes in his suite making it reek of cigarettes on the second floor I felt unsafe after a possible tenant harassed me when I was taking out garbage all management said was thank you for not letting him into the garbage room No further action was taken Theres almost no visitor parking since most spots are taken by residents who don't want to pay 3035 monthly fee for one spot they threaten with tow but nothing happens The parking lot is also dangerous due lack of safety signs or common sense from drivers merging two lanes without paying any attention something Management could easily fix with a sign but simply doesnt care We were paying nearly 1300month for a two bedroom which we couldnt even enjoy due inconsiderate neighbours stomping on floors plus embarrassing poorly managed appliances so beware renters look elsewhere for better accommodations If I could give negative stars I would more ... hide ...

The Galas response to my review was extreme they called the police who told me they didnt need to come by Harassment Ive never encountered worse realty management Ashley Kane was completely incompetent when I lost my keys including the keyless FOB It took me at least 3 weeks of constant contact before they agreed to meet me and replace them then they locked my door with the keys in their office forcing me to stay in my car Theyve misplaced my rent payments twice and I had to pay a lawyer and extra fees for new drafts both times In April they charged me 405 more than due which took about a week to track down Kane no one is ever at the leasing office for this 3 building complex She apologized but never actually debited it from my next months rent as promised instead she mailed out a cheque and on May 1st after I put in a certified draft with all information included I received a default notice accusing me of being late plus late fees When I contacted Kane again she accused ME of harassing her staff The complex has been on sale for 4 years now and AVISON YOUNG has been buying up land for industrial property nearby there have been many breakins too which are only given short term security solutions until it dies down again Of the three buildings only one allows pets but none smoking even outside on balconies which is why I wont renew There are no more ... hide ...

Do not live here The rent is too high for the size and quality of the apartment and there are other issues as well When we signed our lease they promised us storage cages and bike racks but after my partners bike was stolen they said that was never promised We ended up having to put both bikes in our tiny one bedroom apartment due to lack of storage space all of our belongings were crammed into one wardrobe During summer the heat was unbearable even with a fan going all day We lived above a new boxing studio on 9th Ave and were woken up early every morning until they finally did something about it though it wasnt much help It took almost two months to get our microwave fixed too In JanuaryFebruary 19 storage cages were built which werent enough for the whole building these went unused till we left in April My experience is similar to another review about how terrible the public hallways were save your money and look elsewhere more ... hide ...

The apartments are in great condition and the rental staff is friendly and helpful so I highly recommend it because the prices are reasonable Though some of the neighbors can be quite loud luckily the walls are thick enough that you wont hear them unless youre in the hallways Im really happy living here

My girlfriend and I resided at this place for two years and every review posted here is accurate Its unbearably hot in summertime since the central AC only works in the hallways thus you must open your front door to get some cooling if you want it The window opens very little which makes it hard to install a portable AC The walls are thin so you can hear you 2022-09-17T11:02:18Z
My girlfriend and I resided at this place for two years and every review posted here is accurate Its unbearably hot in summertime since the central AC only works in the hallways thus you must open your front door to get some cooling if you want it The window opens very little which makes it hard to install a portable AC The walls are thin so you can hear your neighbors all around you Underground parking is often broken into due to being near homeless shelters my car was stolen once and its on the tenants responsibility Plus there are sometimes homeless sleeping in the lobby or stairs based on my personal experience Lastly there is an extremely slow elevator and no storage space provided as a result of that fact your place will always look messy Furthermore building managerinspectors are very strict with move out inspections theyll replace whatever things that arent aesthetically pleasing for the next tenants even though it may be wear tear and charge for them too We stayed here two years because we had a pet but eventually left because of how hot summers were every resident agrees with what was said here as not many people last more than one year in this building If you decide to live here after reading all this warning good luck more ... hide ...

We have already lodged a noise complaint and yet no action has been taken The person we reported is mocking us with every encounter The next time they allow a family with children to move in they should recommend the basement as kids like to run around frequently Even adults do not show consideration for others by running and jumping around late into the nig 2022-10-07T23:02:18Z
We have already lodged a noise complaint and yet no action has been taken The person we reported is mocking us with every encounter The next time they allow a family with children to move in they should recommend the basement as kids like to run around frequently Even adults do not show consideration for others by running and jumping around late into the night Not only that but they also throw trash onto our balcony as if taunting us to complain all we want this is especially egregious at 3am We will relocate when it is suitable for us this neighbourhood has become unbearable due to these selfish tenants who disregard everyone elses needs The staff are friendly and attentive but unfortunately nothing can be done about these inconsiderate neighbours upstairs other residents have also complained as they too experience the noise from them We kindly ask that managementlandlord take appropriate action or else we will all leave this place more ... hide ...
