The Laundry facilities will ruin your laundry leaving permanent grey marks. The property owners do not care to deal with the issue. Dryers don\'t dry you have spend more money to have dry laundry. There is a massive pest issue throughout the building, cockroaches and bed bugs that they only band-aid. They will tell you that the problems has been dealt with but the problem is so deep in the building that they always return and they constantly are having to spray your living space with a variety of pesticides. Not to mention the vet bills due to the pesticides and repeatedly having to take them from the premises.

We rented at 2600 plus hydro. My landlord Insisted that I put the hydro in my name for the unit even though it\'s a duplex but single meter.
Proceeded to tell me that he would do things before we moved in, he did not (water softener broken, backyard fence hanging by a thread, gate to backyard quickly screwed up and out of alignment.
Summer the AC broke down, landlord proceeded to tell me that he would get someone to fix it and then proceeded to berate me for asking for the AC to be fixed. No locks on daughter\'s window so I had to call property standards to come and get it situated. The house received what tenants would call as the landlord special, white paint plastered everywhere hastily and without and care or professionalism (probably diy).
Winter came around and the furnace finally quit too, landlord had someone come look and said it was fine, two days later it broke again. Landlord sent the same guy and proceeded to state that the motherboard needs to be replaced.
The basement flooded with another tenant inside and had dryers operating 24/7 for 3 days, the power tripped multiple times leaving myself and my family in the dark multiple times.
Suffered a concussion in November and was told by the landlord that for 4 months the unit was going to be undergoing repairs. Unable to detail the noise, construction, and the timelines for repairs, we offered to terminate lease early where he proceeded to bully us into signing an N11 or he was going to push an N4 onto us for early eviction for one month\'s rent.
The only reason why he received a 5 star on rent collection is because he was more focused on collecting rent then fixing any issues.
As a renter be cautious of this landlord and this location, he will make you pay alot of money for a half hazard unit.

Landlord became incredibly angry and started harassing me after I complained about rats and cockroaches. I was staying in a 2 bedroom basement suite with another tenant. The landlord stayed in the top floor with two other tenants. I would occasionally hear the tenants upstairs arguing with the landlord. The tenants upstairs had to share the most space with the landlord (kitchen and washroom) so there was tenants constantly leaving and new ones coming in. I moved there in May into the basement bedroom and didn\'t come across any rats until September. Once the weather started getting cold, the rats began migrating in the house walls. The bedroom I was staying in used to have a hole that was covered up before I moved in. When I had to stay at the bedroom, I couldn\'t sleep from the rats gnawing and scratching the walls. It was so traumatizing I ended up getting nightmares when I would stay at my friends house. The property was so badly infested with rats that they destroyed my property. I threw out 100S of dollars worth of food. I saw 3 rats personally. Landlord was not proactive in dealing with the rat infestation. The landlord started harassing me over the phone and coming to the bedroom door to yell at me whenever I would send her pictures or tell her about rat sightings. I would inform her that the rat traps that she put is not sufficient and we need to call pest control. Due to the lease, even if I called them the landlord can prohibit them from doing and inspection. There was a hidden camera in the living room that she did not disclose of. This is how she knew I was around so that she can come and bang on the bedroom door. and would blame me for rats that were there before I moved in. I was paying rent despite not living there full-time. I would occasionally stay at friends place and would come back to switch clothes and check on my belongings. I tried to tell her I wanted to leave and wanted my last months back. But she wouldn\'t let me.

Landlord was dishonest about the condition I would be living in. She stated that the other tenants living there were very clean and would come weekly to do deep cleans (landlord stayed in the basement suite). I shared the upstairs with 3 others. There was a cleaning schedule that the other tenants never followed. The tenants never cleaned up after themselves after using the kitchen and washroom. Before using the kitchen and washroom, I would do a deep clean. Once another tenant went to use these spaces, it would become dirty instantly. The tenants would even use my dishes without permission. The landlord did not come weekly for cleansings. A lot of the times she would come when I complained. I complained to the landlord multiple times but nothing improved. She would say she would speak to the tenants but she never did. My room started attracting all kinds of insects (big ants, flies, fruit flies, moths). This completely ruined my peaceful enjoyment further. My room was so clean but these insects made me feel otherwise. I got fed up and expressed to Flora I will be moving out and wanted my last months rent. She became so upset and started swearing at me.

I’ve lived in the unit 105 for 14 months of a 15-month lease, ultimately choosing to move out a month early—forfeiting my last month’s rent—due to the landlord’s persistent failure to resolve numerous maintenance issues.
The landlord has consistently shifted responsibility onto me rather than investigating the root causes of these problems or providing a habitable living environment.
For example, the dryer has not been repaired and takes 6–8 hours to dry a single load. Additionally, because the unit is located near the disposal room, the smell was overwhelming especially on Summer because the machinery there was frequently inoperable
Condo fan coil units (FCUs) - heating and cooling system was problematic from the start of my tenancy. After a four-month dispute, the landlord finally attempted a repair, but the system remained inefficient. I was forced to keep it turned off to avoid exorbitant utility costs that were high and doesn’t make sense.
Furthermore, the building\\\\\\\'s mainte... representative was highly problematic.
Prospective tenants should be aware of the following based on my experience:
Deposit Disputes: There were attempts to withhold a refundable key deposit to cover cleaning and maintenance. Under the Residential Tenancies Act, key deposits are strictly for the replacement of keys and cannot be used for cleaning fees.
Maintenance : I was asked to do the deep clean for internal appliance maintenance (dryer components) and standard wear and tear that was documented as pre-existing upon move-in.
Communication & Receipts: Despite providing written move-out notice on Jan 1st and leaving the unit in \\\\\\\'broom-clean\\\\\\\' condition with timestamped photo evidence, I encountered significant resistance when requesting mandatory rent receipts (required under Section 109, RTA).
Advice: If you lease here, document everything with timestamped photos at both move-in and move-out, and be prepared to cite the RTA to protect your rights regarding deposits.\"

Review: I am a former tenant and am sharing my experience regarding this landlord’s adherence to the Residential Tenancies Act (RTA).
Communication: Following my request for the return of my key deposit, I received several communications from the landlord (who is a licensed real estate agent) that contained what I consider to be highly inappropriate and derogatory language. I have formally documented these interactions and reported the matter to the Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO).
Deposit Issues: Despite returning all keys/fobs, my $300 key deposit was not returned. The landlord attempted to apply this deposit to maintenance costs (pest control). Per Ontario law, a key deposit is only for the replacement cost of keys and must be returned when the keys are handed back.
Maintenance: There were pest issues during the tenancy. While the landlord is responsible for these costs, he attempted to charge them back to me, which building management confirmed was not the tenant\'s responsibility.
Banking Discrepancies: I suggest future tenants keep meticulous records of all rent payments. I encountered issues with cheque processing that required me to involve my bank to resolve.
Summary: This tenancy resulted in a dispute to recover withheld funds. If you rent here, keep a strict paper trail, communicate only in writing, and be prepared to use the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) to protect your rights.

RENTAL WARNING – 3372 Hemlock Crescent, Port Coquitlam
Avoid this property at all costs. We went through two arbitration cases (both ruled in our favor) due to serious landlord misconduct, unsafe living conditions, and ignored repairs. Mold, electrical issues, flooding, and harassment made this our worst rental experience ever. Stay away.

This person rents her basement knowing it is infested with mold. When notified she said it was normal since it’s an older home. It ruin a lot of our belongings until the day I walked out. Mold kept growing despite my attempts to clean it.she refused to pay for my lost belongings. She had the audacity to say the mold growing between the tiles had been seen before but her other tenants never complained. We had to move because it also affected our health to the point we had skin irritations. She rented the basement to us knowing it had mold with no remorse for our children. She also decided after we moved that she will not turn AC in the summer on despite stating on contract that AC is included. Having no AC in the summer made the house sweat which made mold spread even faster. She also wanted to raise our rent with 3 weeks of living there because we were a family but on her post she always looks for a family to move to her apartment. She like to play with peoples minds and she came to the point to tell us to pay for half of her renovations like her kitchen fan and she will change it for a more modern one to which we refused because that is totally the landlords responsibility.
There’s many more issues with this property, what blows my mind is how this lady with less than a week of my move date posted this property and I know very well these problems are not fixed within 4 days after your tenant moves out. She does not care about your well being she only cares about money.

24 Rue st-georges in sainte anne de bellevue is a slum-ish apartment building. Whoever the owner is has the nerve to up the rent to his less than sub par apartment units . Just pray that you don\'t live next to a tenant who\'s a chain smoker or a filthy tenant or else the smell of marijuana ,drugs or cigarettes or even cat litter will seep through the walls. The underground parking does not feel safe too. Walls are thin if you talk loud the neighbor can hear your conversations LOL creepy. I also remember during the start of covid April 2020, I called the male manager of Revmor and I respectfully asked him if he can waive the next month\'s rent because my work hours then were getting reduced, he coldly told me to come up with other resources to pay the rent LOL. Whoever he is, he is going to experience the most horrible KARMA ever.
This landlord also waits for the tenant to move out then \"remodels\" the apartment unit then increases the rent . It is still a crappy apartment no matte how out make up on it. I just feel sorry for the poor oblivious immigrants who make the worst mistake of staying in this building. Such a shame first world countries like Canada particularly the beautiful province of Quebec still have inconsiderate, cheapskate landlords like Revmor. Please stay well away from this apartment.

On moving out, I provided before-and-after photos clearly showing the unit’s condition. Despite this, my landlord did not return my $1,675 security deposit within the required 10 days.
According to Alberta’s Residential Tenancies Act, landlords must either return the deposit in full or provide a written statement of deductions within 10 days. I did not receive this. Instead, I was told I would only get a small portion back, without proper receipts or justification.
The apartment was already old and in poor condition when I moved in, and I documented this with photos. Routine cleaning and pre-existing wear are not valid reasons to withhold a deposit.
Future tenants should be cautious, document everything with photos, and be aware of their rights under Alberta tenancy law.

I am a former tenant of 121 Blantyre Ave., Scarborough, the landlord who owns the property was not respectful of my privacy, he would often arrive on the property and putter around in his shed and in the basement disturbing my peace, he would tell me where I could keep my bicycle on the deck and where I could not keep it. I had asked him on several occasions to repaint the damaged, tired, looking front porch and steps, which he never responded to. I also asked several times to clean the duct system. He eventually did it after the tenant upstairs requested it also . The winter of 2024/ 2025 we had a very heavy snowfall in the February I along with the other tenant upstairs asked for assistance from the landlord to remove the snow, he did not agree to assist us in any way. I informed him that as a landlord, he is responsible for maintenance of the property. He never complied to this request. Therefore, the tenant upstairs and I had to incur a very large cost to have the snow removed professionally. I do not feel that this landlord operates with respect nor has any integrity. I strongly worn any future potential tenants to reconsider if they encounter this individual as a landlord.
