Village Gate Homes is a subsidiary of UBC meant to make rental on campus more affordable and comfortable for faculty and staff I lived there for two years but couldnt wait to move out Even months later Im still angry at this company To remain as objective as possible I waited before writing this reviewFirstly it took multiple requests over a year before they could replace an appliance part our old fridge was so tiny that when we asked for a new one the maintenance staff said that the management office would get the cheapest option rather than upgrade ours The electricity bill was high too but once they replaced the faulty door seal it dropped immediately Secondly their maintenance staff were rude and lazy during repairs he constantly used profanity which shocked me as its an education institute property management company Thirdly their movingout fee is a con my friends had been charged huge sums to replace carpets which hadnt even been changed in two years When moving in be prepared for your deposit to disappear Finally theres no interest from the company in maintaining buildings or keeping tenants happy when compared to multimillion apartments nearby UBC facultystaff cannot afford anywhere close by so they can charge more deposits from people leaving faster My advice if youre looking at living near UBC due to your job then look elsewhere off campus more ... hide ...

The building is in need of a wheelchair accessible entrance and new elevators Additionally there has been an extreme amount of black mold present on the ceiling for nearly a year which has only gotten worse since photos were taken Roaches have become a problem and sewage has been known to back up into the bathtub Tenants have reported that it took months for repairs to be done for even something as minor as a blown bulb in the washroom Furthermore during summer months apartments become unbearably hot often hotter than outside temperatures and notices were given out regarding painting balconies although only the outside was painted Reports of bedbugs have surfaced but none have been found yet more ... hide ...

If I could I would give them a zero rating After living here for six years and continuously informing them about the deteriorating condition of my balcony they still havent fixed it They are often unresponsive to resident phone calls but are quick to answer if youre interested in renting a property Cockroaches and other bugs plague every apartment Only one or two out of four elevators usually work properly The pool amenities have been under service more than open after its supposed grand opening they closed it again for service the next day Security is a major issue the front door is often broken so anyone can just walk in and most of the garage cameras are fake All in all this is one of the worst buildings to live in if theres worse out there I don't want to know about it more ... hide ...
