This all happened today... I made an appointment to meet with a rental agent from Forest Ridge to view a unit for the purpose of renting. After speaking with a lady at the rental office, she suggested to meet with her at 1:10pm to show me one of their vacant houses. I got there and buzzed the rental office, a man's voice answered saying: "we do not rent units to terrorists!". I wasn't sure i heard him right, so I buzzed again to hear him saying the same thing again...only louder this time. My only guess for getting such offensive comment is that I am a Muslim female who wears the head scarf. I tried calling the rental office several times using my cell, but the answering machine was the only thing that I kept getting. I even managed to get into the building to knock at the closed office door....no one opened!! By the way, the rental office is supposed to be open until 5pm. In a way, I'm kind of glad I got to see how ignorant, immature and unprofessional their rental agent(s) can get before renting from them. However, I will definitely follow up with this incident...simply becuase it is shameful and WRONG. I do not recommend this place. Was this review helpful? Yes | No | Report as Spam |

All went well for us when we first applied to live in the townhouses. Like the other person our cheques we left way past the first of the month and would bounce now and then due to them putting them through late. As time progressed we found the staff administration staff to be very unhelpful and extremly unfriendly. If something went wrong with our unit they were very slow to respond. They were however very quick and agressive to deal with any misshaps on my part. At one point my daughter drew a chalk figure on the front of the house. We were not asked kindly to remove it but were threatened with charges up to 70$ if not removed. There are still many unresloved issues here regarding many to most of the units. The patio doors were very old and would let in terrible cold throughout the winter as well as freezing up so that we were unable to even open them for weeks at a time. When they finally put in new patio doors the service men left a gaping hole in my screen door, I was promtly sent a threatening notice telling me they were confiscating my screen door at a charge of 75$. I tried very hard to explain to them that it was there when i got home after the service men had been there. I was told that they had no proof. The windows look like they have been there since they were first built. It is my understanding that there is a petition circling around for new windows once again. I found the staff to be gossips and like to be in others business. Many that I know are on unfriendly terms with them as they live here in the townhouses. I have given my notice and I have never been happier to leave any place. They did a routine inspection of my unit and found that there was carpet covering the unkept and digusting hardwood floors ; Fruit flies due to a veggie sub falling behind the garbage under the cupboard (its was removed and cleaned the day before the inspection and as a result there were a few left over fruit flies and a litter box in a the basement containing 4 days of cat waste (Working overtime for a week causes me to become a little behind on household chores). I have been ordered to vacate no later than the 14th so that they can do repairs. There is no reason for repairs more than routine maintenence. I have no holes in my walls and they are clean. I have nothing broken in the unit. I dont understand why it takes 16 or more days when the cat litter and the fruit flies are already gone. I assure you my house is clean and there is little need for more than a paint job and perhaps to fix the very old and unsightly kitchen cabinets. I have been to many places and lived in differnet countries and i have never ever lived in such an unprofessional and and unacomadating place as this. I would not recommend living here as the staff are uncaring and the units are not in great shape. And lastly it is impossible to get out of here in your car in rush hour and other times as well. It desperatly needs a traffic light and people have been petitioning for years to get one but to no avail. Sorry this is so long and messy I would just like people considering this place to know the truth of it so at least they can go in with thier eyes open if they must. I do not recommend this place.

We initially applied for an apartment for the Highrise apartment on Baseline Road. It is an all around better apartment building than any of the low rises in the back. But, to our dismay, they 'lost' our deposit and we lost our apartment to someone else. So we got moved to the low rise without any notice, they claimed that was the building we applied for. Which is a complete lie, because I didn't want to live in a low rise and if I knew that is what we were applying for I wouldn't have OK'd it. Then, if something was wrong with the apartment (like the bathroom in the apartment upstairs was leaking into our apartment) it took them over a month to get it fixed. There were many instances that we needed things fixed and they we not promptly done. On top of all that, they asked for post-dated cheques for the first of every month, and only to take the money out of our accounts at later days such as the 14th of the month! And, now assuming they had taken the money out of the account after the first, went on making purchases, and they would charge us extra if the cheque bounced when THEY deposited it a month late. Now it wasn't that I was short on money, but it would be like 2 cents or something like that and it would bounce. And they 'forgot' to inform us that we had to give 60 days written notice (not 30 days spoken notice - as they stated when we signed the lease). And so we were sucked into staying an extra two months that we didn't want to do. The onsite pool was never open. The washing machines were nearly always broken. And there was NO visitors parking, without stealing other peoples parking spots. This place is a joke. I do not recommend this place. Was this review helpful? Yes | No | Report as Spam |
