A Letter to Head Office & More

So we left off the last entry with the second letter I wrote to Linda Shannon, building manager. At this point I'm mad because they are failing to do anything. I think they count on the fact that people won't actually take them to court! Well, I'm going to take the due to the locker incident. I found out through talking to neighbors that the girl who lives immediately next door to me sued them and won just recently! They had left a grate off by the side door. She had stepped out of the door into the hole and was hurt pretty badly. The building management actually told her that she should have looked where she was walking!!!!!!

Anyways, a third letter was written...this one sent to Osgoode Properties in Ottawa...head office. You can read the letter here
We attached the photos that were posted here in the Locker Incident post and of course we've not received a response.

The Nasty Neighbors

Around the time of this third letter, the neighbors in 205 started fighting more and more. He would come home and find her with some guy and freak out calling her a "$unt" and "whore". He would literally kick the door. I had to call the cops on them in April. The cops just threw the guy out. They would continue to fight. One day while I was at work, Andrew said they were fighting and throwing things at each other. It's tough to sleep through that.

On April 29th the fighting was really bad again with slamming doors and name-calling and breaking glass noises. I called the police again. This time they were served with a ticket for noise violations. It turns out that they had smashed out their balcony window(s). I honestly can't understand why a rental company would allow people who disturb other residents to live in their building...especially since they are constantly blocking the hallways with stuff they find around the building and in the trash. Often there are bikes in the hallway too.

A bunch of us on our floor signed a letter telling the building management to deal with those people. Now I have to write down all the times they've disturbed us since they moved in. Like I remember that crap. I've called the cops on them twice, every one is complaining, boot them out!! Simple as that. Since they've been warned by building management, I've not heard a peep out of that apartment. However, they do leave their crap in the hallway all the time still.

We're Leaving!!

On April 30th, Andrew delivered a letter to building management stating we were giving our 60 day notice. They actually had to ask why we were leaving. I can hear Andrew's sarcastic I-can't-believe-you're-that-stupid tone of voice replying to them. He told them that we wanted to live somewhere better. I can't believe they had to ask!!! Anyways, here's a copy of the notice letter we gave them.
The next day, we received a knock on our door. It was our neighbor who lived next door. She gave us a letter that was delivered to her.

She never gave notice. We did. The very next day (May 2nd) we received the following letter...notice it's back-dated to April 30th. I almost choked when I read the last paragraph there. "We hope you have enjoyed your stay with us at Westview Place Apartments, and will consider Osgoode Properties for any future rental needs." Are you f-ing daft?!?! I will NEVER rent from Osgoode Properties again. I'd rather be homeless...yeah so we enjoyed our stay here **rolls her eyes** They need a new form-letter.

It's almost unbelievable. They received our letter and acknowledge a notice of termination that my neighbor never sent. Then they back-dated ours. This place seriously has the poorest management around. I wonder what they can get right.

There is more of course, I doubt it will ever end. I'll post more about it later though because I have to find the next letter we were sent. I think it's at work because I had to phone them about it.

We've been approved for our new place and moving day is June 30th. It can't come soon enough.
