Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent tenant feedback for buildings managed by John Zakovic reveals a mixed experience. Positives include John’s high responsiveness, frequent personal engagement with tenants, and a generally friendly community atmosphere in some renovated units. However, several reviews mention issues such as inconsistent building maintenance, persistent pest problems, poor garbage management, and outdated facilities. Some tenants feel the landlord's interpersonal conduct can be problematic and have expressed discomfort with his management style. Noise levels and heating vary between units, and some buildings suffer from lower cleanliness and water pressure ratings. Prospective renters should expect attentive landlord availability but be mindful of maintenance and management inconsistencies.

Reviews

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Good neighbourhood

Pros

Shops and restaurants around the area are great. M train takes you straight into the city.

Cons

Pretty old building, needs repairs continually. Some units are better renovated than others.

If I could give it a 0 I would

Pros

Location, location, location

Cons

The landlord is a total chauvinist. He belittles women and can only talk straight with men. Persistent Roach problem through the whole building. Landlord comes by once a month to knock on door and collect rent directly. Expensive for the size.

Advice to the owners

Have a professional manage your buildings. You cannot treat men and women equally and respectfully. We’re not children. We’re adult tenants.
