Bad management. Chad…read moreis the agent that I wouldn't recommend. He is unknowledgeable and bad performance. He keeps giving my tenants fines without any proofs instead of solving the problems. He also is a lier!!! He told me directly by phone and his assistant Kendall even sent me email that they will reverse all fines if I take the unit back from the tenants. I don't want to have more stresses. After all process from BC Residents Tenancy, I has hired Enforcement company with the cost of $2800 to remove tenants, he sends me outstanding balances of all the fines. The reason is because tenants should move out by the time he said 3 months ago. He is completely not understanding the Tenancy Act. The process to end tenancy can be 6 months or even more. Moreover, the building is rebuild, I brough my old small flob to re activate, there was a charge of $25 but the cost of brand new flob with garage remotes is $75. Also, my friend's car was parked in my stall without insurance for temporary. Before calling a towtruck, he never mentioned me to remove the car or even just remind me. I can not stop thinking of what if the car was in other owner's parking stall, he wouldn't do that. I definitely recommend if you are looking for a building management, please consider this company. If they can't manage and train their Strata Agents, they can't manage your buildings.

I've been working with real estate sales and property management for over four years now and the…read morehelp we received for one of our tenants really stood out. What should have been a standard move-in process turned out to be a rush scenario, meaning a lot of information and authorization was needed immediately. Strata Manager Assistant Kendall was courteous and professional when we both thought this was just another routine move, and when it escalated she was still courteous and professional. Truly it's not the strata property management company's job to scramble when it was on me and my party to run through all these steps earlier. PM companies have enormous portfolios and thousands of clients to respond to, Kendall didn't need to give priority to my requests but she fit it into her day and I am grateful. Everything went smoothly for our tenants. Kendall went above and beyond and has an overall amazing attitude. I really appreciate it.

First thing you should know is that co-ops are not governed by the Residential Tenancy Act. So…read moreanything you think you know about tenant/landlord law? Pretty much doesn't apply. When you are interested in a unit, they will interview you, but you won't get all the information. They'll tell you all you need to know to live IN the co-op, but conveniently leave out all the things you need to know to LEAVE the co-op: ** You need to give TWO months notice to leave. ** You need to paint your ENTIRE unit when leaving. ** If you paint it, and they don't think it looks right? You'll pay for them to hire their painters to do it. Even if you've already painted it (like we did). ** They'll give you a check-list a mile long of what to clean and how to clean it. ** You have to have the carpets professionally cleaned, with a receipt available. Renting a machine or using your own machine won't cut it. ** You probably aren't ever going to get your full $2,000 deposit back. They will find something to take out of it. These are all the things we were NOT told, before agreeing to rent at Ford Road and forking over a deposit. When we arrived on moving day at our unit, we were greeted with a binder full of rules that you have to follow. It's basically like living in a Strata complex. In or on this binder are also papers you will have to sign. This includes paperwork that explains all of the above information I just told you for the most part, except they didn't tell you any of this when you agreed to live here, they're only telling you now that it's way too late to turn back. You've already gave up your old place, hired the moving vans, and so on. You're stuck. They don't do the walk-through of the unit with you, they just give you the papers and have you write anything that's wrong about the apartment down within a few days. My recommendation: Put down everything under the sun, right down to shotty paint jobs, so they can't get you for anything later when you decide to leave. Also, don't fill it out right away, as you may not notice things for a day or two. Rent increases and Financial Stability: As I mentioned, Co-op housing is not governed by the Rental Tenancy Act. So they are not capped at how much they can raise your rent. I rented my unit at $861 and within 6 months was already paying $890 for the same space. They also voted on a crazy rent increase every year for the next few years in order to stay on their feet with the changes (provincial/federal) coming to the way co-ops are funded and mortgaged. For the price I would be paying in three years, it made more sense for us to move to a larger space. Dogs: Do you have one? Be prepared for elderly people to complain about the noise, so you'd better not have a barking dog. You won't get a polite knock at your door, you'll get an anonymous passive-aggressive note stuck to your door instead, even though in the interview they stressed that talking to your neighbors is the first step at conflict resolution. Also: Even though it is NO WHERE in the rules (when we lived there), the pet committee will try to tell you that you can't let your dog go to the bathroom in the common yard area. But I stress, this is NOT in the rules. Annual meetings: There are two per year that are "mandatory" (I use that term loosely). If you enjoy drama, people cursing at each other under their breath and people old enough to be your grandmother bullying/harassing/calling people names? These meetings will be for you. Bring some popcorn. The building is currently populated mostly by older people, and many of them loathe change. Suggest change, you'll hear the under-breath curse-words and name-calling pretty much immediately. Many people also failed to understand even the simplest of concepts and caused meetings to go on for hours asking questions about the same thing over and over again. Good luck with that. Speaking of change: If you want to do anything, anything at all, you pretty much need permission from the board of directors. Look forward to waiting a week to several weeks for even the most simple request or question. It's not like calling up your landlord and asking them a question, you have to wait for people to vote on things or to converse with the board. That's all for now but if I think of anything else I feel is important, I'll put it here. With all the negatives, there were several positive points. The office staff, provided by CoHo Management, are awesome. And my direct neighbors were extremely nice and friendly. But any sense of "community" that was promised to me at the interview, it really didn't exist. Ford Road is more like a clique, with "popular people" and not-so-popular-people. It can be a very alienating experience as much as it could be an inclusive one. So choose carefully.

My wife was communicating through one of their agents Tasha Panico to schedule a viewing for a home they were managing. They had agreed to show us the place on 6 PM on a Wednesday (6 days ago). Tasha had asked to move the date earlier to Monday at 6 PM but my wife was working a late shift at the hospital and didn't have a chance to reply to her email until the following day where my wife confirmed 6 PM would be okay (Tuesday). Tasha explained she was busy that Tuesday and left it at that in the reply email. We of course assumed the viewing would go ahead for Wednesday at 6 PM and my wife emailed back apologizing about not getting back sooner and emailed back to confirm again 6 PM on Wednesday. She did not get a reply back but we did not think much of it at the time. We got to the viewing early on the Wednesday, sent one more email and also text messaged her that we were there, still no reply. We phoned her once at 6 PM but still no answer and then waited around and still nothing. Unfortunately we never got another answer from Tasha explaining what happened even though there was never any indication to us that plans had changed. The unit was subsequently rented so our interpretation is that she felt there was no point in showing us the rental however a simple message telling us so would've sufficed and would have saved us the time involved in making our way down to the viewing and waiting around. Again I hope this is a one off or there were extenuating circumstances but I feel that as a professional organization, communication is very important, and we felt there was a communication breakdown dealing with Tasha, who had been a good communicator up until that point.
