My wife was communicating through one of their agents Tasha Panico to schedule a viewing for a home they were managing. They had agreed to show us the place on 6 PM on a Wednesday (6 days ago). Tasha had asked to move the date earlier to Monday at 6 PM but my wife was working a late shift at the hospital and didn't have a chance to reply to her email until the following day where my wife confirmed 6 PM would be okay (Tuesday). Tasha explained she was busy that Tuesday and left it at that in the reply email. We of course assumed the viewing would go ahead for Wednesday at 6 PM and my wife emailed back apologizing about not getting back sooner and emailed back to confirm again 6 PM on Wednesday. She did not get a reply back but we did not think much of it at the time. We got to the viewing early on the Wednesday, sent one more email and also text messaged her that we were there, still no reply. We phoned her once at 6 PM but still no answer and then waited around and still nothing. Unfortunately we never got another answer from Tasha explaining what happened even though there was never any indication to us that plans had changed. The unit was subsequently rented so our interpretation is that she felt there was no point in showing us the rental however a simple message telling us so would've sufficed and would have saved us the time involved in making our way down to the viewing and waiting around. Again I hope this is a one off or there were extenuating circumstances but I feel that as a professional organization, communication is very important, and we felt there was a communication breakdown dealing with Tasha, who had been a good communicator up until that point.

This review is coming from an apartment renter so it's the actual owner who is BirdsNest's client…read more I've been in my apartment for close to nine (9) years and BirdsNest has been the property manager for approximately 5- 1/2 years out of that time. BirdsNest had big shoes to fill as the apartment's previous property manager, ACD Realty, was absolutely first rate. And yet, BirdsNest quickly established itself as a worthy successor in every way. I find BirdsNest to be attentive, sensitive and responsive to tenant needs. And the staff does it in such a manner that I know I've been heard and fully understood; both of which assures me that I'm valued as a tenant. BirdsNest has a stable of very capable service technicians across all disciplines of home repair/maintenance. Any service call I've required has been attended to by service people of the highest quality in terms of their professionalism. They are prompt, dependable, courteous and BirdsNest never fails to monitor the length of time it takes for any service technician to respond to an apartment work order. I have also had several personal dealings with Alvin, one of the owners, and Alvin has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. He even personally delivered a temporary fridge to the apartment once, several years ago. The apartment refrigerator broke and was "down" for several days while a part needed to be ordered. I didn't even ask for the fridge but it was delivered and the gesture was much appreciated. Given my lengthy experience with BirdsNest I simply cannot conceive of anyone having dealings with this company that would not result in a near or complete 5-star review. Thanks to the entire BirdsNest team for delivering first rate service to this particular tenant. But a special shoutout to the department that handles all the repairs and apartment inspections. All of them are exceptional and a real pleasure to deal with.

The team at Birds Nest combine expertise with incredible customer service. They manage multiple…read moreunits in the condo complex my mother lives in, ensuring that both tenants and owners are taken care of. Highly recommended.

**No Accountability, Poor Communication, No Clear Timeline**…read moreThere has been an ongoing noise issue at King Crossing for the past three months. During this time, we have repeatedly escalated the matter both directly and through the landlord. Unfortunately, there has been little to no meaningful action taken. A memo was only issued after nearly two months and they put it on notice board and no one knows how many people even read it, and since then there has been no clear resolution plan, accountability, or timeline provided despite multiple follow-ups. We have already submitted recordings and supporting evidence, yet the response continues to be reactive rather than proactive. We are repeatedly instructed to contact concierge whenever noise occurs, despite the fact that their work regularly begins around 8:00 AM, with noise often starting even earlier. As a result, we have experienced ongoing sleep disruption and significant impact on our quality of life for nearly three months. The lack of accountability and urgency in addressing this issue is deeply concerning, particularly given that a Senior Strata representative is overseeing the matter.

The last two reviewers gave EasyRent great reviews. I like to see how like them after a few years…read moreof dealing with them (or rather not dealing with them). We rented from them for over 4 years. During that period, we called them twice with issues. The first time was to do with the central air conditioning unit. No one ever returned our phone call. The second time we emailed. The garburator stopped working over the weekend (things always break down over the weekend...). We got an email back on Monday saying they could get a plumber out but it might be at our cost if the issue was caused by us. So I researched online and fix it myself. The apartment was brand new when we moved in. After 4 years, there were a bit of wear and tear as one would expect. Not to mention, we thought we took care of our home compared to other apartments in the same building (we viewed other apartments since we wanted to stay in the same building). When we gave notice to move out, Easyrent was all of sudden a fly on s**t. We were given a long list of items to clean before moving out. We have a pet, so after a showing, we got a call warning us about the pet smell and the state of the carpet which it had to be professionally cleaned (a receipt must be shown to get our deposit back). Fair enough, on moved out, we hired a professional cleaner to clean everything in the apartment including washing the balcony and the parking spot. We were getting that feeling that no matter what we did we were not getting our full deposit back (which will be a first for us). We were pretty sure they wanted the apartment to return to its brand new condition like 4 years ago. Is that reasonable? During the inspection, all was good but a few walls where we had hung pictures and shelves that needed re-painting. Yes, patching was not enough, we had to re-paint for about $100 to $150! But the inspector said she would speak to the new tenant whether he cared. I said no problem and thanked her for helping us out. We ended the inspection with her telling me Easyrent had 15 days to return our deposit. A few days later, I got a call said the new tenant complained about the pet odour and we might be charged $150 for an ozone clean. Again I said no problem. 11 days later, I got a call said the new tenant was now complaining about the dirty blinds, but they would let go the pet issue. Why wasn't this brought up at the initial inspection? We got charged $150 for the blind clean. But not before, we were told we were getting off easy since the owner had to pay over $400 for re-painting. Remember I was told $150 would be charged for repainting, now apparently it will cost $400. When we questioned the inspector on anything, she quoted the tenancy act. Honestly, we didn't know much about the act. I just took her words for it since she was the professional. I absolutely didn't have a reason to believe she was telling me lies. But if that is way the act is set up, someone needs to fight to give tenants more rights. Especially when BC housing ownership is so expensive and most of us are renters. We were never late on our rent and obviously cost Easyrent nothing while we were tenants. All they did was just collected our rent cheques. Nothing above or beyond. We thought we kept our apartment in good condition especially after the professional cleaning. We were even told by the inspector we were good renters and to come back to them whenever. We didn't enjoy the BS from Easyrent weeks before and after moving out. My advice is don't rent from Easyrent, but if you already rent from them, don't ever move out.

I should have read the reviews before being exposed to their UNBELIEVABLE UNPROFESSIONALISM, their INCOMPETENCE, their ARROGANCE and their LACK OF BUSINESS ETHICS. I am a homeowner and a landlord myself and I teach a course on "Communication" at the university. I made an offer on a rental (as a part time city residence for myself) and THEY ASKED ME TO SEND COMPARABLE LISTINGS!! They did not receive my web application, I asked them what happened and Santam, the office guy, said I should send personal information and my Bio BEFORE they could send me a formal application. In the meantime, Maryam, who was working outside of the office and responsible for showings, kept texting me asking when I'd like to see the condo. I finally called and asked what kind of racket they were running and let them know that my realtor would contact the owners to advise them of their incompetence! Considering this tough market that is overrun by rental units flooding the marketplace, it is unconscionable to both operate and to treat a potential client in this manner. I advise you to read all reviews before dealing with EasyRent Real Estate Services!!!!! By the way, they asked me not to write a review....

Worst building management in Toronto and the entire universe. Since June of this year, there have…read morebeen 5 new property managers here, and they all did absolutely nothing. It took a year for someone to make a simple fix to my closet door, I have been waiting over two years for the black mold to be removed from my bathroom (guy said "I have to get a "special tool" over a year ago and hasn't returned) the heat only gets turned on when it's warm outside and then goes off in the middle of a freezing cold night and stays off for days (this has been going on for the past three years and they are well aware of this problem) and when you ask them to turn it on (it is included in our rent) they make you feel as if you're asking for something completely unreasonable. The tenants above me don't work and stay up all night yelling and scraping what sounds like cement blocks across the floor, then dropping what sounds like huge barrels of oil on the floor and the banging goes on from 12:30am to 3,4 and 5 am. They have parties during the week and don't care that other tenants have to get up for work in the morning. I can't count the number of days I had to go to work feeling terrible because I was woke from a sound sleep at 1am and kept awake the entire night. I have written them 3 times since May, and nothing has been done about it. I was accused of putting something in my toilet when I called the property manager to tell her that my toilet was plugged. Her first words were "What did you put in it!" I told her toilet paper and body waste. Then she said that I would have to pay a thousand dollars if they have to call a plumber because it was a Friday afternoon. I told her that she must mean that Hollyburn would have to pay a thousand dollars because I did not cause the toilet to get plugged up. She then said that there was nothing they could do until Monday. I told her that was not acceptable as I would have to use the toilet again before the weekend was over, and where did they expect me to go, in my bathtub? She said "If you have to". I told her that wasn't going to happen and that she needed to call someone and have it fixed. She then sent her partner over with an industrial plunger and he fixed it. I can't believe how poorly run this building is. They do renovations to apartments on weekends AND holidays, and the workmen were not wearing masks when Covid numbers were at their highest. The carpets on my floor are rarely cleaned or vacuumed and there are tissues and other garbage everywhere. The laundry room is disgusting, and I have to clean all of the machines before I use them. I'm so happy I found a better place to live. It's more money, but well worth it to be getting out of this dump. They do cosmetic (shoddy) renovations to all of the apartments whenever someone moves out as fast as they can so they can get more than what the place is actually worth, but the building itself is a dump. If they spent as much time and effort making necessary repairs to the building, they wouldn't have so many empty units. Do yourself a favor and steer clear of Hollyburn Properties. They don't care about the tenants. The only thing they care about is the almighty dollar.
