i use to live at 390 dawes omg dude i almost died there with the bedbugs and roahes no joke. i woke up one-day and had abut 10 flys all in my face trying to suck the life out of me…i don’t know how they got in but they won’t leave. im a clean freak and don’t like bugs or mouse so this is horoble for me. but the worst place i lived was chidwick co-op they have rats that chew holes in garbage bags if you leave it out too long. they also don’t have a super lol i don’t know why but its strange. Also lots of gange members i remember i drug dealer name patrick leach him and his gange always hung-out in the lobby it would scare me and the other old folks.

We’re just a bit further up on Woodycrest, and black mold, no heating in November, flaky paint (from the mold etc.), leaky windows and ceilings, and wet basements are rampant. After getting 3 illegal notices to terminate the rent, we finally decide to move out. Enough harassment. The rent for the following tenants has been jacked up >20%. Nothing has been done to the building. Greed, neglect, and a psychopathic disregard for the needs of others. I feel sorry for the next tenants. Just don’t rent on Woodycrest. Stay away from here. Go somewhere nice.

hey man, toronto is a shit hole, not just the apartment, people here think they are so sophisticated, its nothing but a bunch of ignorant immigrants. i live in los angeles where something great is always happening. in toronto, its like, something great COULD happen at any time (but never does). the weather is the shittiest weather of any place i’ve been. someone told me the lizard aliens control toronto and i believe it. its the coldest place i’ve been spiritually. the vibe in toronto is dead.

Thank you for your honesty, and exposing one of the numerous housing issues facing the citizens of Toronto. In pointing out the distinct violations, you have reaffirmed the fact that we all have rights- as tenants, and as human beings with the right to adequate living standards.

What the world (or this city!) needs now, is more informed people like you, who are willing to SPEAK UP, AND SPEAK OUT!!!!!!! Good for you. Carry on.

Shelley: The government ministry Service Alberta handles Landlord and Tenant issues. If you go to their website, http://www.servicealberta.gov.ab.ca, there is a great deal of information, but it sounds like you are looking for the link on “filing a consumer complaint.” The Ministry also offers a residential dispute resolution service, if that would assist.

I am replying to Mike, If in Alberta we have an agency that looks after that kind of stuff, how come I live in a building that was supposedly renovated and still has huge black mold problems. Please tell me the agency that I should report this situation to. They increase our rent but do nothing about anything in these apartments. My friend and I live in one of the only two unrenovated apartments in the building and we can show the health board exactly what these people are covering up.

Wow, I feel sorry for you guys. It sounds like that building was past the renovation stage; it should have been condemned. It probably would have, if you had contacted the proper authorities. In Alberta we have a provincial government agency to deal with landlord and tenant issues, and I’m sure Ontario has one too. Nothing there will ever change until someone blows the whistle on that lazy building manager and her non-existant landlord father. She’ll just keep lying to the next tenant, and the next, etc, etc. Too many people feel that once they’re out of a bad situation themselves, that’s the end of it. I would be so angry for being lied to that I would make it my life’s work to get back at these types of slumlords until they got what they deserved. It’s called SATISFACTION BABY!

I have the landlord from hell at 500 Dawes Road in the east end. It’s like renting from Gladys Kravitz. She is constantly lurking outside your door in the hallways. If you complain about repairs not being done the harassment starts. Snotty commemts to your children and threats of eviction. I had a window without a child lock on the 10th floor. A front door, fire exit, that was difficult to open, no heat until October 14, oh yea and faulty wiring. I called the electrical safety authority, who found 8 violations not the least of which was tape stuck over live wires in a light fixture in the ceiling. mt son was plugging in a glade freshener into the plug and he got blown clear across the room. every plug in the apartment was ordered replaced and the superintendent screwed up my fuse box so badly that she had t buy a new breaker box. the building is roach infested and daily threats are written in the elevator against her. on an upnote if you are willing to do maintenance work for 5 dollars an hour she’ll hire you, as long as you don’t expect to declare your income to revenue canada.
