If your goal in life is to spend 1000$ a month to live in a dump, westview place will blow your…read moremind! The people that live in my building are absolutely disgusting. Nobody seems to care about keeping the place nice, so naturally it turns to crap. People steal mail from the lobby, Ive had clothes stolen from the laundry room, I've had people high on drugs banging on my door looking for someone that does not live here, as well as harass me in the hallways and stairwells. This place is not a place you want to live if you have a choice, you can save a bit of money and live in rideau heights, its essentially the same quality of life. I had an exterminator knock on my door one day to inform me that there is roaches in the building and they needed to check my place. Everyone knows this place isnt the 4 seasons but everytime management does something to try and improve the place (which is rare but it does happen), people just destroy anything nice that comes to this place. You can't walk on the grass because people dont pick up after their dogs, I can hear my neighbor talking on her phone through the walls, and I have seen rats in the parking lot (one actually chewed the wiring harness in my car). The only good thing about this building is the action that happens in the alley if you get a unit facing the rear parking lot. I have seen so much exciting stuff there. I once saw a woman chase and beat down another woman because she stole her son's bike, wild stuff. I saw a girl chasing what looked to be like her ex husband down the alley on a bike and kick him, he then hit her with the suitcase he was pulling. PS: They had a thing a little while ago where you were entered to win a free month's rent if you wrote a positive review about them. That's the only reason you see anything positive about this place.

Can't wait to get out of this apartment. Lived here for 2 years. What caught my eye in the…read morebeginning that I liked about this property was the underground parking, nice flooring and good rental price. We were showed an upgraded apartment in a different building and was told we would get an apartment like the one we were showed. Come move in day and the floors are old and damaged (pieces of the floor we picked up and put in a little pile). There's damage on the kitchen floor and bathroom that was never fixed. People are being shown this apartment and assured that floors and appliances are being upgraded (Why are they doing this now and not for when I moved in?) On top of that, the flooring and walls are something other then cement or concrete because we can hear the people upstairs coughing, walking around, sometimes talking etc. I believe smoking is prohibited from all apartments but yet I can smell cigarette smoke from the vent in my bathroom. Yeah it's quiet here and in a good location. Prices have risen since we moved in and compared to our next apartment that we are paying more for, this apartment building isn't worth living in.

The reason I am giving Varsity Properties four stars is because it renovates and beautifies the…read morecity. This has a serious impact on people who are under pressure to qualify for jobs later in life, but need the better grades to attract the attention of grad schools, honors lists and employers. I have seen some terrible living conditions in the student ghetto of Kingston, and the people living in them were not even economically disadvantaged. Even today, there is simply not enough high quality homes for rent in Kingston. Varsity Properties takes yesterdays' low quality homes, puts money, thought and renovation effort into them, and makes places that people can be proud to say they rent there. The only negative thing I can say about this firm is that Varsity should be twice the size, as there is still more demand than supply for high quality rentals in Kingston.

After I wrote my original review, I received a heartfelt apology from Varsity. I think that there…read morewas a misunderstanding or miscommunication, which they dealt with very professionally once they heard of my situation. I would not hesitate to recommend Varsity anymore, as they assured me they had resolved the issue that gave rise to my complaint.

Photos of pests linked here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1uc31B9vhYRwZ2xIRvPhW6JQXqkrboa7H?usp=drive_link My experience at 539 Armstrong has been the most difficult rental experience I have had to date. Due to ongoing cockroach infestations and consistently poor communication from property management, I was forced to apply for a Property Standards Inspection with the City of Kingston and file a T6 application with the Landlord and Tenant Board. I have documented these issues extensively with photos and written correspondence throughout my tenancy. I am also genuinely confused by the volume of recent five-star reviews this Company has received (particularly for 539 Armstrong/Riverstone). Upon closer inspection, several appear to originate from business accounts that posted multiple reviews for the same property within short timeframes. While others can form their own conclusions, I believe prospective tenants deserve transparency and firsthand tenant experiences when making housing decisions.

But no, they feel the need to violate your privacy. Arranges appointments for service and above mentioned bs but shows up late every single time. I hope you didn't take time off work for this! Plastered a gigantic Hotmail address on the building which is tacky as hell and not at all professional. Spend the 30 bucks a year on a website ffs. Threatened to evict tenants during pandemic when it was illegal to do so. Constantly raises the price of laundry machines despite the dryers not being capable of drying a load in one go. Raises rent every single year to the max amount despite knowing that many tenants are in precarious financial positions. Basically, they are trash.

Many units leak constantly when raining; no one does anything about it. They've been in the news(ckws) for how terrible they are. And the basement parking garage under the building is holey and falling apart and ALWAYS left open from 9am-9pm at least, giving access to the building to the homeless in the area. They protect the friend-tenant who assaults everyone's vehicles. They are overall ignorant, rude, non responsive, and terror negligence knows no bounds. Also the owner/superintendent is always smelling of alcohol but still runs the building despite them putting it in writing to me that he's cognitively unwell and not able to make decisions for their business (as in the verbal agreement he made with me on the 13th of nov to return my last month's rent and allow me to leave peacefully despite the mild and negligence. Since then they've ignored my calls and every email. (See pic for the letter) They are refusing to give me rent receipts (legal requirement) and they haven't returned my key deposit. It's been a month since i has to emergency move my family of 5 out of there so my children under 7 could be healthy. Unit 318 at 20 Elmwood St. needs a lot of work and it's already listed. Also, the building owner and employee smoke on the building booth in the basement and in the stairwells - the smoke kept coming into my kids rooms and nothing got done - even ashtrays here and there left full of buts. Had to tape the putlets etc.(see pic) The railing outside on the 3rd story balcony was never welded together so the corner is completely insecure.

They will hand…read moreyou a unit full of mess and damage, promise to clean and fix it, NOT fix or clean it, then attempt to charge you for damage when you move out. We leased a unit with BROKEN WINDOWS on move in. They promised to fix it on move in and then refused to for our entire 24 month lease. The back door was broken and SNOW ENTERED THE UNIT in the winter but they refused to believe us and fix the problem despite photo evidence. Their pipes broke during a routine shower causing water damage. After fixing the pipe and having a contractor confess that the pipes were at fault, they threatened to sue, despite the tenants being found innocent. They never fixed the water damage in the ceiling which festered for more than 18 months. They did not inspect the outside of the house on our move in tour, then threatened to sue us for damage to the outside of the house that we could prove with photos that we did not cause. After move out they waited several months to inform us we were being charged for garbage removal in a side alley despite the alley being given to us in significantly worse condition. Their contractors are rude and will yell at the tenants, and the administrators do not care for anything except your money. They exist solely to extort money from students who do not have time to participate in legal action. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Panadew does not deserve to exist as a company, and their employees deserve to feel horrible about their business practices. I would give lower than one star if I could.
