I'm finally free , lived there just over 5 years and the place went to complete shit, the management has no respect for their tenants, they tried raising the rent by 5.5% but since they got denied they started going after tenants to pay for broken toilets when they shut off the water every Thursday, the management never emails you back , they hang up the phone on you , they dont actually care about tenants at all, its a money grab and they keep raising the prices while doing the bare min, in our building they removed all the flower beds except for ones at the front which still remain 90% weeds. I think the positive ones on this page must be fake, that or they got lucky. DO you research before getting into this units, they seem nice because they got a make over but if you need help its not available, I emailed them asking questions and got threatened they would call the cops on me because no one was answering me so I kept emailing, I dont usually do reviews but since im free I feel so less stressed. the super intendant has a massive attitude problem and she brings it to work with her everyday, the amount of times people hang up the phone on me or dont email me back its made me want to pull my hair out, dont be fooled by how the apartments look, its just make up. They also withheld money from me because they said I broke the toilet when in reality they shut off the water weekly so the pipes are damaged and they're trying to fix them, anyways good luck read more

A 0 rating would be more appropriate if it were an option. The management team at by building screwed me over after 3 years of renting, without ever missing a payment of causing a fuss. I requested to move out, they took almost 3 weeks to have someone (Ashley) available for signing paperwork. Then they told me I owed another months rent because of the delay which was their fault! Now I have a collection agency after me for money I do not owe. Trish is a piece of work and will not respond to my emails for clarification. Not to mention the parking fiasco which I have yet to be reimbursed for. On top of all that, the bed bug infestation is horrible. DO NOT RENT FROM TALWOOD COURT FOR ANY REASON!!! read more

When Sterling Karamar first took over the property about 5-6 years ago, they hired professional and kind property managers who cared about the tenants and worked hard every day to provide proper maintenance. Now the property managers are cold, uncaring and abusive, lead by Arta and Anam. They've ripped off tenants by claiming extraordinary investment in the property when actually fixing broken items such as the boiler and intercomm, in order to get approval to raise the rent above allowed annual increase. The intercomm then broke again for an entire year. The heat is off way past the legal amount of time. They don't clean the building and when they do it is by a very cheap sub par cleaning company. They don't wash the windows of the property except twice in 6 years so they are filthy. The property managers will be critical of you and hang up if you try to hold them accountable to do anything. They have doubled the rent in the units in 5 years, without adding any value. The property is part of an investment portfolio, probably owned by the Chinese, and the company is driven to rip off the tenants and spend as little as possible and do as little as possible. read more

Rosebury Square property managers Sterling Karamar. Management does not communicate with tenants. Emails and follow-ups to Property Manager are not answered. Management does not inform tenants about timelines and expected completion dates of major long-term repairs to garage and surrounding grounds at 140 Elm Ridge, causing so much inconvenience and noise. Outdoor pool has been closed permanently and Management has not reduced rent. Management sent letters to tenants in all 5 buildings, illegally demanding payment of $150 per window air conditioner for the season's hydro, for tenants who do not pay hydro separately. The letter also stated illegal demands for the air conditioners to be professionally installed and certified by a professional engineer, or management would remove the units, if not installed professionally, with costs paid by tenants. read more

This wretched management company took over our apartment building a few months ago. In those few months, our wonderfully managed building is rapidly turning into a pit. There are roaches on some floors, maggots in the garbage room, the beautiful perennial flowers in the front yard were hacked down by their inept "landscapers", the front lawn is rarely watered so the grass is turning brown, and the building isn't clean, like it used to be. The carpet runners in the lobby used to be replaced every week with clean carpets. Now they're just vacuumed once in awhile, and they are stained and dirty. Of course, Sterling Karamar is just following "guidelines" set out by the new owners. The new owners/landlords will do anything to save money. There are constant noisy renovations, some apartments are getting epic floods, the water level in the washing machines was lowered so there's barely any water to wash clothes (price to wash was increased by $1.50/per load), the pool is freezing cold, most maintenance issues aren't addressed for days, even weeks, there are ongoing water shut-offs, which never used to happen, and the Sterling Karamar staff lie about everything and anything. I'm sure lying with a straight face is a job requirement. As soon as new owners bought the building and Sterling Karamar took over as property managers, the tenants immediately formed a tenants' association. For decades, because the building had been so well managed, there was no need to start a tenants association. Now it was an absolute must. Sterling Karamar is THE worst property management company. If I could give a "0" rating I would. read more

Not the place to rent unless your in your eighties, I have much compassion for someone older than myself but it is very depressing, the building 4003 is on the verge of becoming a long care nursing home. The continuous noise from resident above, many many complaints but never ending noise of hammering. Smelly first floor horrible. Security staff never around except in parking garage smoking. Large apartments lots of wasted space. Rent is way too high! I lived here many years ago , it was never in the shape its in now. read more

There is never any visitor parking available. Those that live in the building park in visitor spot instead of paying for parking. I have visitors come and visit me that have received tickets for parking on private are you serious this ridiculous. The management off need to do something about but instead they don't care. I have seen people with grocery bags park in visitor parking and let themselves into the building. While the visitor are left to park in office spots and then they are receiving tickets. It's ridiculous! read more

The property managers and superintendents ARE NOT very nice people . they'll try anything ,even abuse of process to get you out .They are not creditable people . read more

I can't express the amount of inconvenience this building has caused me.......if we were not in a pandemic I would be moving faster but not only does the property manager not care the tenants don't care for the last 6 months I've been dealing with weed smell everywhere in the building and now in my unit and the only thing that can be done is to issue a letter stating that you can't smoke in the building! This has put my Heath at risk as I'm now suffering from headaches every time we smell it in our unit my husband suffers with asthma we have to wear masks now in our apartment! They finally got the cockroach problem gone I had to seal up holes in my apartment so none got in horrible. 5 years ago this building was a hidden gem and perfect now it's absolutely horrible and putting my Heath at risk it's sad threw out this crazy pandemic our rent had to be paid and online fine no problem I did that what I don't get is you have everyone's rent money but don't give a shit about your tenants or the building? Really what are we paying for? Security never around, cameras don't work and not in areas they should be! Windows need replacing everything is old. AVIOD AT ALL COST ! read more

Don't bother renting from this dump. The only advantage they have is their location. But if you fine with super small washers, hot water issues 3x a week, bed bugs even after 2 treatments and freezing at night in the dead of winter due to poor heat distribution but still have to pay for it, then by all means take your chances on this place. But I would advise against it. read more

This place we rented at 530 Mornington Ave, London was a new renovated one. But within few months the house is infested with cockroaches. We inquired about this before we moved in and they assured that the new management which is Sterling Karamar has treated all the apartments and the problem is largely gone. However, a few of our friends in another building vacated recently because of this issue. Now, we are facing the same problem and it has been devastating. We cannot leave any food on the kitchen counter and there are so many bugs. The building has no elevator service for the past three weeks and the management is giving excuses to the tenants without getting the issue fixed. It's a mistake to have taken this place and signing a lease for a year. DO NOT RENT HERE if you want a place no matter how desperate you are. read more

Im getting evicted on flimsy technical bs all because they want to jack up rent by 90%! And I've never had a late payment! This company is completely awful and the biggest clue is they cant hold down any building staff for more than a few weeks. We've had 4 managers in a year. DONT overpay for their glorified slums with pretty paint jobs. Our apartment has mold, plumbing issues, a broken oven and screwy floors. Oh and rats. The rats are new read more

Thank you very much for the beautiful basket upon moving in. All the cleaning things was very helpful. Thanks for the help from management whenever it is needed in regards to the apartment. I will highly recommend to anyone wishing to rent. My sister and family live and raised their family here. A good place for raising children. read more

Please check this place before coming here. They have parking available for only one car that to if you book it at the time of lease agreement if you don't there is a waiting time of 3 to 4 months and you cannot have your car in the premises until you get a parking place. And this place is not a good option for person using public transport.and the rent at this un feasible location is $2080 for a double bed and you don't even get a parking spot once you move in. read more

I lived in one of SKPM's buildings for over a year. For the majority of that time they only had one working elevator. They keep the lobby clean but are very lax about the exterior of the building. Recently several drug dealers and just plain stoned out guys made a camp in front of the building for over a week and building management did nothing despite the complaints of tenants. Finally a tenant had to take it upon herself to ask them to leave. I've also heard they do t hesitate to raise rent whenever they can. With other nicer properties renting for less there is no point in looking at an SKPM building. read more

Very poor customer service. Extremely rude and argumentative and un-reasonable. Definitely not a good rental experience This company is being very creative about finding ways to constantly hike the rent more than the yearly increases allowed. read more

This is re: Sterling Karamar's Property at 1801 Eglinton Ave W They gave less than 24 hours notice they would be holding fire inspection checks on Jan 7 at this building, on ORTHODOX CHRISTMAS! DISGUSTING and a COMPLETE LACK OF RESPECT and IGNORANCE. Most ppls are still trying to clear up from main Christmas on Dec 25 and New Year and this is what they pull, and plus they always ALWAYS raise rents at maximum level each year. Their business styles should be investigated. Completely disgusting. read more

Hands down the worst property management company i had to deal with in my entire life, and i am not talking about a personal case, but about policies, strategies and attitudes that they implement with basically every tenant. They show, through the person that represented them with me, a lack of careness and an extreme greediness while the service delivered is not acceptable to me at all. It seemed to me that they make appear all their attempts to squeeze your wallet as due or best practices where indeed it seems they are just running after your money and that delivering an acceptable service is not their priority. My personal recommendation to you is to avoid them. read more

Worst landlord. Poor care in my experience as a tenant, extreme care in milking tenants (including recent spam for side services never requested) read more

Been living here for a bit over a year now and no bugs so far. But there is another issue. Those buildings have quite few subsidized housing units but management don't tell you that. Quite a few druggies on lower floors and garbage collecting people which sooner or later WILL result in infestation. There is also major problem with burglaries here and I heard personally from 14 division Police officers those buildings are "active". Management does not post any notices for people about the break-ins and you will only find out when it is too late. The locks/doors they have are a joke and it takes only few seconds to get in. If you walk around the building you will see metal plates around locks on some doors. These are the ones that already have been burglarized and management put those plates only AFTER the fact even though they know about the problem. You can tell that it's bad by seeing how many units have those in place. Their "24 security video" is a joke since it's mainly in the hall by the elevators and if you use the south entrance there is NO CAMERAS whatsoever and thieves KNOW that. Cheap solutions. Cheap company. On top of that - the moment you will sign the contract - management becomes a rude bunch. They simply do not care. I do not recommend having management like that. I will be moving out. read more

Do not EVER give your money to this scam of a place I wanted to call home. I have rented from 15+ places in Toronto in my lifetime and this is 100% hands down the worst place I have rented from! This past month alone we've had one elevator working, bed bugs, no water, no internet, no washer or dryers and with one day notice!! This happens WEEKLY. They also put up signs saying it will be for one day and it lays 4 days!!! They don't care one bit about the people who work hard and pay rent there they treat the people like we are dogs. We will have no water for an entire day meaning I can't even go to the bathroom! I've gone to property management before and the manager won't even come out to speak to me, he or she just keeps relaying messages to the secretary and she just walks back and forth saying what I'm saying and then telling me what the manager said, what a coward they won't even face me. Everything is so so dirty the lobbies the courtyard it's so gross. The nighttime security is always smoking in the underground parking. Please please rent or buy from absolutely anywhere else in Toronto! read more

They sure don't like to supply their tenants with heat. Tenants have to beg and threaten at the 1801 Eg Av W building for heat yet they don't mind jacking up the rent to the max increase allowed. 4 complaints lodged with the city for no heat so far and many more complaints to come if they don't comply with min temps. Heat went off for almost a week in March until someone begged with public sign on supt's door to turn heat back on and heat has been off for more than a week in April now with it less than 10C outside and less than 21C (min city requirement) inside. No wonder people are moving out and they can't fill apts. despite bonus for getting people to move in. read more

I wish I could leave this place! Roaches are in the building, no matter how many times they come to spray whatever they spray, they can't get to the queen or whatever it is because she's probably lived there for decades in the foundation! This is disgusting, visitor parking rarely available for guests (which I'm afraid to invite over because of the damn roaches and ants anyways), laundry is useless and expensive (socks keep getting stuck in between the door and the inner machine and not washed but gathers all dirt left there by God knows who), so I drive out for my laundry which sucks because I shouldn't have to. The underground garage is falling part, saw someone's car destroyed one day, hopefully they paid for it. Rent keeps increasing every year like they're trying to force you out because then they can make the new people pay much more. I blame the ridiculous Toronto housing crisis for this anyways, fulfilling every greedy rental property's dreams. I would say don't rent here but hell, not sure what else is out there for these prices again. read more

I've been living at one of there apartments for 5 years now and in the past few months things have gotten progressively worse. The building was owned for Hi-Lo Investments Inc however, it may or not have been bought out or transferred to Sterling Karamar as of this past year ( not really sure what the exchange here was but it is def under new management). The building has turned into a total bump now. There is no super living on the premise as the one we had left a few months back. Since then there is no one maintaining the building properly. The floors are not mopped on a daily basis as they once were. The dirt and grime on the floors is disgusting. The elevators are a joke and every time you get on it you hope that you won't be the poor sucker who gets stuck on it. (Yes, it's a real concern b/c it happens) You really hope it does not happen to you b/c it's not like it's clean the floors are dirty and full of spilled everything. If you want to take the stairs well that's not any cleaner either. The stairwells seem to be where ppl hang out, toss garbage, urinate, smoke and toss cigarette butts on the floors. The walls are mucked up and you almost don;t want to touch anything bc you think you'll contract some type of virus. It's pretty sad to see the state of dispare this building has come too. The outside of the building has seen way better days. The garbage bin area is a joke the concept of placing ones trash into a bin seems to have been abandoned. There are bins located within the area but it seems that throwing garbage on the ground is the thing to do. The security on site is none existent not to mention most of the time the front door is never locked so ppl come in out as they please even though they do not reside at the property. It's pretty disgusting considering that you pay rent and expect to have a clean common space or at the very least have controlled access as to who gets into the building. If your looking for some where to rent I highly suggest you stay away from these buildings. read more

I live in 730 Dovercourt. It feels like living in a jail. Maintenance people enter your apartment frequently without warning or explanation (or on weak premises e.g. "just checking" your fire alarm or heat dial even if they did that a month ago). The staff are condescending and rude. No one admits it, but the building is falling apart; it doesn't even feel safe, structurally. There are constant repairs or "renovations" that are noisy and disruptive, so you never feel relaxed. There are problem tenants who are allowed to make stress and trouble for everybody. Recently they ran the fire alarm for six hours and ran it again "just one more time" a week later. Overall, it has been a demeaning experience living here. To top it all off, they hold an annual "tenant appreciation" barbecue with wild animals brought in from the zoo and paraded across the lawn, which is cruel and low-class in my opinion. This used to be a nice place--ten years ago. Not anymore. Definitely not a place for people needing rest. read more
