Apartment for rent at 20 Antrim Crescent - HR

DO NOT go to this apartment. The manager and supervisor, both are useless. Manager is not available over phone or you cannot meet this person in anyways. Only solution is you have to write a letter, drop in the box and wait for their call. They reach out if they like in letter form, otherwise no response. My queries never answered, never picked my phone calls by the manager. They don’t pick up our calls or respond to our questions if we have any refunds. This was my first apartment experience in Canada and that was terrible. I regret that I had to stay in this building for 1 year. When I signed for the lease, they didn't tell me that a big construction going to happen at the site. I work from home and the whole year I had to suffer the concrete drilling sound. It was horrible on day time. This is a place of never ending construction work. Sometimes they DO NOT tell you about the construction behind your unit. They increased my rent at the end of first year and I moved out. Funny part is, I had to suffer all these noise on the day time and pay them more for next year. Our unit's back door was not fully closing during the winter time and cold air was coming into the unit. Their repair person even didn’t fix it bringing new cushion. Rats were running in the unit when we moved here. Luckily that was fixed with my idea to check all heat outlets in the entire unit. Their worker checked only the one in the hall. Later, I requested him to check in the washroom and bedroom. Washroom hole was bigger than other two. This is an old building and their maintenance works are not good at all. Their repair person doesn’t bring new things to fix, instead just doing some adjustment temporary fixes. Closet doors fall out of the rail all the time. Kitchen shelves & draws are too old. Unit has a very small fridge. You don’t have much space to store stuff during this Covid-19 time or in winter time. You need to do shopping often. I was living in the second floor above the back entrance. Tenants smoke just under my unit and smoke comes inside. I complained many times to the supervisor and he didn’t do anything. Many of their tenants left the building and now they offer referral programs to get tenants. My recommendation is, find some other place to live with low rent and peaceful mind. This management would not do anything in favor of the tenants. During this heavy construction, they did not reduce the rent or give refund for parking car in other building parking lots. They behave well until you sign the lease or starting your tenancy there. Once you are in, they will show their color. Hence, it’s better to find another place to live. If you still go there, wait and see…..
