Why can't I give them zero stars? This company is a joke. Avoid them. Thus far, they have:
1) Maintained a caveat against my property - even after verifying that there was no balance owing on my account and advising me that the discharge would go out that day or the next for over 6 months.
2) Acknowledged deliberately ignoring their bookkeeping errors once I pointed them out because there was a lawsuit over actions taken that I considered to be improper conduct and refused to pay without a judge. They claim to have been advised to do this by their legal counsel not sure why legal counsel would choose to go into court with accounting records that very clearly showed a $1000 duplicate charge as well as other smaller errors on top of the disputed amount but even if true, I can only interpret this action as showing a willingness to knowingly provide false evidence that, if accepted by the courts as true, would result in the recovery monies not duly owed to the corporation.
3) Provided statements clearly demonstrating that payment dates had been changed in what I can only ascribe to be an attempt to inflate interest charges? Any other possible motivation eludes me. They claim that this is how the statements come out of their accounting program. If true, then the only possible explanation is a deliberate redating. Or they are lying
4) Provided quotes for FOIP requests of double the hourly rate that was quoted for additional subsequent requests made after the judge made all of these legal issues go away (at no cost to me). I'm sure we can all speculate as to why the rates changed. They have provided an alternate explanation that they "just wanted the issue to go away" in spite of the fact that this FOIP request was in no way related to the already resolved legal matter. Their photocopy rates were higher than allowed by the condominium property act and case law determined by the FOIP officer. Even so, they advised me that the amount had been approved by the FOIP officer - who to the best of my knowledge had no reason to look into the matter (at that time - he very likely will have reason now)
5) Failed to provide me with notification of the annual general meeting (that had not been held since 2019) They, of course, support this failure to convene the AGM as an action that they argued was permissible and/or justified due to covid even after the government removed the moratorium and added the requirement to convene. In fact, they advised me that "multiple corporations" made that decision. This failure to notify me was after my repeated requests notifications and reminders. This was neither sent to me via email, as all correspondence to date had been for the past two years - nor by mail to the address I provided, while still stipulating that I wanted correspondence by email.
This is only one unit of the many that they manage in the many complexes that they manage and certainly hasn't painted them in a very good light for me. They have only managed my complex since about October of 2020 - so less than two years. According to them they are doing their best, and mistakes happen. I agree that they do - but these are a lot of "mistakes" in a very short period of time and, to date, they have yet to acknowledge or apologize for any of them. In fact, when I told Trevor that he was lying to me he threatened to sue me for slander.
Somehow, in spite of all of this, they cannot imagine why I am, finally, after 20 months of sheer hell, not being nice to them.
Do yourself a favour and go elsewhere.
Edited to respond to owner:
This is your version of damage control? I told you about this review a year ago when I made it. The problem then is the same as it is now: Truth is absolute defense. This isn't the first time I've seen you respond to a poor review with a threat of a lawsuit but I am curious about the timing. Could this possibly be because I advised you that I complained to RECA and am planning to reach out to the media to do their own investigation?
