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 ...

I moved into my first condo in the Quarters in April the acceptance of my dog was simple but thats about it Soundproofing is nonexistent allowing you to hear your upstairs neighbors and dogs barking Inquiries sent via email or phone are ignored I asked for a second parking stall and blinds months ago Street parking is always full so if you come home late expect to walk Not only does there not seem to be air flow but during heat waves it becomes impossible to keep cool let alone use the dishwasher or do laundry With a rental shortage and me being a pet owner is like Im stuck here After this experience I wont trust another management company ever again more ... hide ...

I moved into this building and I enjoyed it however since the management changed and classes resumed at SAIT things have drastically altered If you are a student this spot could be great but if you are older than 25 then I suggest staying awayThe rooftop patio is gorgeous but it is usually full of garbage and empty cans The fire pits and barbecues either do not work or have no fuel to use them There was also an incredibly loud neighbour that management failed to address even after multiple complaints were filed Repairs take forever to complete or get completely neglected for example I reported a dishwasher leak that was promised to be fixed right away yet nothing happened so I had to repair it myself and the same goes for paint chips from a previous tenantThe stairwells used to provide access with FOBs but last summer they were only used as exits one night both elevators broke down leaving me and many others stuck in the lobby because there was no way of accessing the stairs from there luckily now one of them has FOB access again Also the garbage room can only be accessed externally which makes it often full without enough bins for its sizeOn the brighter side central air conditioning in units is amazing during summertime Plus its location near groceries stores parks and transit makes it unbeatable just 5 minutes driving distance from downtown with 20 minutes max on transit to get downtown for workHowever all in all if more ... hide ...

I have been living in the International Apartments for a year now and I hope it is the first of many The staff here are incredibly welcoming and accommodating they always greet people with a warm smile and even helped me out when I left my keys in my apartment one time The amenities are remarkable too theres a gym that opens early in the morning until late at night an inviting pool with an accompanying hot tub which sometimes does require maintenance as well as party rooms and theatre rooms for eventsThe location is incomparable youre close to downtown but still near the river and Bridge landCrescent Heights Plus youre easily connected to all of downtown through the 15 network which allows you to travel from building to building without going outside Additionally theres plenty of local businesses nearby plus great parking optionsWhen I moved in by myself I was unsure if Id make connections but within three months I had struck up conversations with amazing neighbours through activities at the gym or small talks in elevators Its just something about this place that makes everyone feel right at home even when issues arise management resolves them quickly so you don't have any additional questions or anxieties In conclusion this place has everything that appeals to me personally excellent staff luxurious amenities perfect location and kind neighbours making this an unbelievable value A special shout out goes out to Ralph who is a hero here more ... hide ...

I stayed at Beacon Heights for more than three years before relocating to an urban area The facilities are kept up nicely with summer flowers and luscious lawns Inside the apartment is neat and has granite countertops along with matching appliances Its a two bedroomtwo bathroom layout that is quite pleasant The management team was friendly and humorous as well as timely in handling any issues that arose When we signed the lease there was a promotion for free internet too Underground parking is available but its best to sign up before winter when it fills up quickly If youre noisesensitive or sleep late Id recommend an apartment not facing into the complex since there can be some noise on garbage days or when they use the snow blower Aside from that its usually pretty quiet here neighbors are friendly while still respecting your privacy more ... hide ...
