In the 2.5 years that we've lived in a Sunrex building, twice rent has had a proposed increase of…read moreover $225. There have not been any upgrades to our suite, and we struggle with mold growing in the closets (we get told "that's just how it is" and to wipe down the ceilings), my buzzer has never worked, and whenever they give important updates about the building, they can never get the time and date correct so they send multiple emails instead of just doing it right the first time. They also send incessant "fun" emails that have no relevance to the function of the building and are a waste of time that you cannot unsubscribe from (I have made over 6 attempts to do so and I'm still getting them). There is absolutely no base for such a greedy increase of over 21%. Overall, the office staff are wholly unprofessional and the business is gluttonous. Their only saving grace is the efficiency of the building manager and location of the building.

I'm dealing with a neighbour who smokes so…read moremuch it comes into my condo but I'm apparently the problem even though I'm not the only person to complain about it. One of the managers came to inspect my home to see if he could smell cigarette smoke (I have three air purifiers going on full at all times) and he told me I shouldn't live in a condo if I'm so sensitive. Imagine someone coming into your home and telling you you shouldn't live there because your neighbour refuses to be civilized and smoke outside OR get an air purifier. Unfortunately, nothing about smoking being allowed in units is present in any of the condo documents I was provided with prior to purchase. Had I known this disgusting practice was allowed, and that the management company would do nothing to protect the majority owners and tenants who are NON smokers, and don't care about the physical damage done to the building by tobacco smoke, I'd never have purchased this condo, especially considering the response from "management". The lack of transparency about smoking allowed in units is wrong and unethical. If she wants to smoke on her unit she should be taking the precautions you've apparently asked her to take so disgusting tobacco smoke doesn't infiltrate all the units that connect to hers, which has also been confirmed by you that it does. I took reasonable efforts to deal with the stink of smoke before I complained - she should be expected to be equally reasonable. I'm not the only person to complain about smoking, either.

I went over to grandpas for their 'Rib and Shrimp' night, I was blown away on how excellent the…read morefood, service and ambience was. As you enter the large dining room you can see how much the staff pay attention to detail. Large beautiful windows let in natural light, crisp clean white linen tables clothes drape the tables, and perfectly polished utensils greet you. The server was knowledgable and was prompt. To start i had the mushroom soup. Piping hot, big 1/4 chunks of diced mushrooms with a velvety cream base. On the last day of summer I had the seasonal salad that followed the soup. Mixed greens, small bites of crunchy watermelon, feta cheese with a balsamic vinaigrette. The salad was refreshing with great tones of summer, great texture with the soft cheese and crunchy watermelon. Next was the main event, the ribs and shrimp. I got a large portion (1/2 rack), smothered in a smokey and tangy BBQ sauce. The meat was falling off the bones. I've been too many rib restaurants and these by far were the best I've ever had. Paired with the ribs were 5 large butterflied shrimp, with a light and crispy batter. Served of course with fresh lemon and cocktail sauce. My vegetable was a large sweet corn on the cob that was massaged in butter. I also got a large baked potato with sour cream, onions and real bacon. This was by far one of the best dinners of my life, and it's still not over. For dessert I had the whipped cream cheese pear mousse. Light and fluffy, just sweet enough. The only downside was the pear tasted like they were out of a can and not fresh. Next time your visiting grandma and grandpa at the retirement community make sure you go there on the Thursday night for rib night. You won't be disappointed. They also serve hot and cold breakfast and lunches. Oh and one more thing, my entire dinner cost $15 including taxes and came with either a tomato juice or cranberry cocktail!

Towers realty makes any excuse to blame you for problems in the building. I lived in an apartment…read moremanaged by towers which had a serious moister problem. The windows would sweat so much the drywall was soft and bubbling all around it. A simple tap on the window and it would have fallen three stories to the ground. There was also a large amount of mold growing around the window inside the drywall. When someone from towers finally came after many calls complaining about this mold, they told me it was my fault the suite was so humid because of "all my house plants I'm obviously over watering". They obviously don't know how house plants work because I have two small plants and if they were over watered they would be dead. Also I heard from other tenants they had the same problem with moister so not sure how my two house plants are affecting them as well. Then I found out the balcony was completely rotten and I could have fallen through at anytime which lead to an eviction due to risk of safety and I was stuck looking for somewhere else to live by the end of the month. Towers did nothing to accommodate this inconvenience and I was lucky to find something on such short notice. They then renovated the suites and now charged almost twice the price. Definitely not worth it

I wonder how much he is stealing from the landlord. The guy is in his 50's and is never in his office. I needed to speak with him once and went to his apratment.

From dealing with the extremely unhelpful and rude employees at head office to attempting to follow their strict set of rules they have laid out for the tenants I have found myself realizing I no longer feel as though this is a home for my family and I but a lucrative business scheme where the only part I play is to supply the company with a steady flow of money. Nothing else seems to matter for these people. I am frustrated and annoyed to be treated this poorly and DO NOT recommend Crystal Properties at all! "Eek! Methinks not."

They have had many property managers leave / quit / demoted over the years…read more The buildings are dirty, overflowing waste containers outside several of their buildings and the cleaners spend all day chatting / gossiping instead of actually cleaning their buildings. Tenants who make noise / break rules do not ever get any punishment - they are allowed to do what they want; especially the ones who are on Welfare. Some tenants smoke weed INSIDE their apartments, without any penalty even after being reported to Thorwen many times. (specific apartments have been reported at 2 different properties - NOTHING was done to the tenants). It is an immediate "termination of lease" BUT.. if you are on welfare or get your rent paid by a subsidy - you can do whatever you want. The management will turn a blind eye. The people who work hard all day and try to rest are constantly disturbed by loud obnoxius tenants above them - nothing is done to resolve this issue - ever - laundry gets stolen out of the shared laundry rooms and nothing is ever done. It gets reported - and then nothing is done to follow up. Tenants can run wild, be noisy at all hours of the day and night (as they don't work - why do they care about others in their building?) smoke weed inside their apartment - knowing they can get away with it. Especially if they are on welfare. Guaranteed rent money from our government. So why let them leave? Let them ruin the peace of hard working people who actually have jobs and work all day every day. STAY AWAY FROM THIS HORRIBLE PLACE - things get worse NEVEER better - this has been reported for several of their properties - Downtown and in the South area have been the worse reported for lack of cleanliness and tenants not following rules.
