Very low rent for Toronto and they fix things immediately.
Office staff have changed every year and so do the practices around notification of entry into your unit.
Betty is a lovely lady, and she tries to make sure everyone is happy.
1970s building is just now starting to need maintenance on everything, but they are always on top of it. Quick to respond to any requests.
This does mean they need into your unit a lot right now.
New renovations to all of the hallways happening now, so thats exciting. Job seems to have gone to the lowest bidder though.
Problems: black mold in central air units. They arent required to fix it by law apparently, so I am currently wearing a mask and scrubbing it.
Bed bugs which happens in a lot of old buildings. The powder to get rid of them is cheap and since we put it that down they havent returned.
Smog I can see out my window is grey. It smells like cigarette smoke in my unit sometimes so I had to buy an $850 air filter and weather stripping for my doors.
If the AC breaks down, as it did this past summer, the unit gets to 30 or 40°C. So hot it makes you sick.
The Windows only open a little bit and the brick of the building gets so hot the windows being open does nothing.
To their credit they ordered parts immediately. Of course industrial chiller radiators take a few weeks to order. So we were without respite for the rest of August and September which is still hot. Its 25°C indoors now with outdoor temperature of 11°C. Thats how much hotter it gets in here than outdoors. Im a slender and fit person. I cant imagine what its like if your health is compromised.
