Conveniently located and fair price
Former Tenant
Pros:
Maintenance requests are promptly dealt with. The location is good if you care about proximity to transit: building is just a 5 min walk from the 6 train and many buses. Superintendent lives in building and is responsive (but a little rude). They send in pest control once a month to spray your apartment if needed. Annual rent increases were minimal.
Cons:
The train and outside noise from the bar and street below can be loud sometimes from the street-facing side, but you get used to it if you keep your window closed. The radiator in my unit was so loud (e.g. banging noises) that I couldn't sleep without airpods during the winter months. Trash is stored inside on the ground floor so it can get smelly between pickup days. Management adds a sneaky clause in the lease rider that makes you move out on a "business day" if the last day of the month ends on a weekend or holiday (with no prorated rent to compensate). Ashley from Sassouni Management is particularly nasty and unprofessional around move-out communication.
Advice to owner:
Get rid of Ashley
