Prior to reviewing Whistler Wired, I would like to send a thanks to the owner of the accommodations in which we stayed. It proved a very nice, well designed, well furnished townhouse-style home. We were very happy with the unit.
As for the 'Property Management Company' (aka Whistler Wired), they're another story. After receiving payment and collecting damage deposit in their office in Whistler village, Whistler Wired was done with us. They said thanks with a hand-shake and a 6-pack of the locally brewed Whistler Beer and sent us on our way. (NB: I recommend the Whistler Brewery beer, as it certainly left a better taste in my mouth than my experience with Wired... and no i don't work for the Brewery!)
If we had any idea of how mischievous Wired was going to be regarding keeping as much of our $2000 deposit as they could, we would have certainly rented elsewhere. We acknowledge their contract reads "$1000 fine will be imposed if a noise warning is deemed valid by Wired", however their use of the word "warning" is remains abstract. I guess they get to make their own definitions.
It turns out we made an unacceptable amount of noise after the 10pm curfew, as I presume would be expected when in Whistler. However, and here is where they got mischievous, rather than calling us on the phone number we provided to them, or even sending us an email to the email address that they had previously contacted us on, as to "warn" us, one of the Wired team-members simply showed up at our rental unit and proceeded to impose a $1000 fine against our deposit. Done and done. Just like that. So where was the "warning"!? Nowhere to be found.
Up to you fellow google-users to believe or not, however if you (as we) get a formal phone call warning that you are violating a noise curfew, you (as we) would abide by turning down the noise level, especially when $1000 is on the line. One simple phone call could have solved the issue. But where is Wired's profit in offering a warning?
Whistler Wired deliberately made the cognizant decision to avoid providing a noise warning to us as so they had grounds to fine us $1000.
How do you feel about about a business that operates with such slimy tactics to fill their pockets?
My advise & conclusion: If you decide to utilize Whistler Wired's property management services, prepare for them to find some dishonest way of utilizing their contract against you to maximize their profit, and maximize your loss.
Will i stay with them again: NOPE! read more
