    great location, not great management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    location, living room
    Cons:
    heating issues, appliances often break
    Advice to owner:
    be more responsive to your tenants, the rent raise is not worth the apartment
    Over 2 years ago
    far from "perfect" management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    convieninet location to subway
    Cons:
    Perfect Management harrassed us to leave the apt ONE month prior to the lease end so that they could "renovate" as theyhiked up the price by 2000$ per month. They were rude & insensitive on multiple occassions
    Advice to owner:
    DO BETTER PLEASE

    12 Meserole - Worth a long term lease!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Amazing Backyard ! Spacious
    Amazing Owner, super helpful during lockdown
    New appliances, Washer-Dryer in-unit
    1 Block to Harvest Market, J Line
    Cons:
    Garbage storage is right in-front of the building - not a great spot ! Basement was slightly painful for my room-mates ! Had few leaks thru the winter but all of it was fixed fairly quick
    Advice to owner:
    12 Meserole was an amazing place to live and I wish Management renovates the basements in the building ! Given an opportunity to lease by floor I’d love to stay again in this place. Bit of renovation would allow new renters to move-in!
