Backwards TO

It’s kind of annoying that you bring up an issue and the landlord does not seem to care for the state of the building. I don’t think we’ve seen this individual at the building once; has this individual seen the things their employees have to endure when moving garbage? I’d like to see this individual step into the shoes of their employees. The previous individual would dress up in a Tyvek suit because of roaches in the garbage room (which is likely the source). Does their employer care?

Speaking with a tenant who has lived here for 30 years, she’s stated that it’s never been so bad until about the last 5 years… and the super didn’t really do anything about it. It made me wonder if they just didn’t have the resources to fix these issues and left the super hanging, resulting in them dodging tenants.

The past super also had the ability to do basic maintenance – which the previous super didn’t have the experience – i.e., having the hot water tank restarted when it crapped out. These things should be basic training for the super.

Getting an email about a contractor coming to the unit didn’t even give any information on how to prepare for the work being performed. It just asked for confirmation. I could have left the bathroom as is and wasted the contractors time clearing the space so that he could do the work. I had no idea if he’s doing work to the tub? or the sink vanity? or the ceiling? or putting in a towel rack holder. How do I accommodate myself if I don’t know what is going on? Having silence from the landlord is telling of where this individual stands on providing a reasonable liveable space in Toronto. Zero care.

Update on door handle? Silence. So in the event of a fire or we get locked out, we will have to call the fire department? We have to pay for this apparently too? There was no acknowledgement on these items or comment.

It’s exhausting when you have other things you need to deal with.
