The words “the agent accidentally sent a lease renewal to the tenants” are the only reporting of the real story here. So, the tenants got a lease renewal, and by golly they thought they had a lease renewal? How is this anyone’s fault but the agent’s, and then the landlord’s for choosing to be a jerk about it?
I get that “The tenants denied ABC's request for comment”, but seriously, you therefore, with the exception of that one sentence above, ONLY attempt this from the POV of the landlord???
And, sorry, let me get the world’s smallest violin for the guy who had a $2000 expense after (a) SELLING a BLOODY HOUSE and (b) turning upside down the lives of the tenants who RECEIVED A LEASE RENEWAL.
Tenants on Isabella & Gloucester Streets were alarmed when their onsite security was pulled from their apartments. I went with a tenant leader to MetCap's head office to call for the reinstatement of this service. Corporate landlords like Starlight & MetCap cancelled services without notice or consultation with tenants while charging increasingly high rents. If this is happening to you, send a DM and my team will get back to you. #TorCen#TenantRights#OnPoli#Ontario#Toronto#TorontoCentre
So this apartment complex has been condemned for a year, evicting hundreds of tenants with a 48 hour notice.
Now they are opening units again, advertising under a new name, despite owing over $140,000 to Newport News Waterworks for which they were sued last month.
"Defendant has made no good faith attempt to satisfy this outstanding duly owed just debt,” one of the suites reads.
It’s also mentioned that services may be “shut off” to force compliance, which would cause the building to fail inspection."
The listings claim the units will be fully renovated with prices from 1,225-$2,500 a month.
