Happy bug free renter! on 07/13/2011
THERE ARE NO BUGS IN MY SUITE! other than a few fruit flies (god damn things!! my own fault!)
Bed bugs ARE NOT infesting this building!!!
The management calls pest control if they need to. I reported a cockroach to them (just in case there was an infestation starting) and within a week, pest control was here, thank-you management! So Within the week I was waiting for pest control, i saw NO MORE COCKROACHES! And since then, guess what? I haven't seen any more! So there was no problem, the
little buggers must have come through the windows!
FYI: Cockroaches are not harmful. The only way they can harm you is if the bacteria they are carrying causes an illness in you (pretty unusual!)
And definitely no bedbugs in my suite. I am an extremely hygenic person, who actually is scared of getting herself or her bed infested with bugs.
As a renter of this building for 6 months now and being a person who is always on the lookout for lice, bedbugs, coach roaches, dust mites, tinea etc... you can trust me MY SUITE IS FINE!!!

Disgusting..... Lived here for five months with my bofriend. We are very clean people but this building is so unsanitary. It is mostly infested with cockroaches and the management left the problem for so long I wasn't even sleeping at my aparment for the last three weeks I paid rent for it. Our neighbours moved out the same day we did because of bed bugs AND cockroaches. Do yourself a favor, do not live here, and pass the message along.

I lived here for my first year in Vancouver, and what a horrific introduction to life in BC it was.Within hours of moving in there were Cockroaches all over the kitchen.This was a taste of what was to come.As some others have alluded to, the Property Management Company at 1880 East Pender, lets just say they are related to the owners of the Canucks allegedly, are complete and utter slum landlords.1880 E Pender, at my time of habitation, had at least 5 suites in the building that were riddled wit
h bed bugs.The problem seemed to stem from the fact they allowed people with mental issues to abide there, simply because the Govt paid the rent cheques month after month after month.These folk, whilst harmless and somewhat down on their luck, did not seem to have the same hygiene standards most of the other tenants had.The Management people insinuate that the all new tenants bring in Bed Bugs, but having lived there and witnessed the regular sight of the pest control truck pulling up to the apartments, it appears there are real problems at this building.Please prospective tenants, do not move in here, there are other alternatives.Your life will become a nightmare if you take the plunge here.

Just for the record this building is not covered in bedbugs. The previous report here, purporting to be from someone "visiting a friend" is very curious. If you saw a fumigator leaving the building does that not indicate that management are responsible? To any prospective tenant - we offer a BBB Pest Control company inspection, at our expense, to any incoming tenant.
For your information - this site is open to misuse by anybody with an axe to grind and there is no way to have a report removed
- contacting the owners of the site is impossible - try it!

This building is covered in bed bugs.
I was visiting a friend last month and there was a fumigater leaving the building.
Oh gosh I can not even imaging living in a place like this, it is so gross. Someone needs to do something about it and quick. I feel bad for the peeps that live there

Opps sorry correction, I moved into this building in 2005 not 2006!

In response to "Anonymous"
There had been no bedbugs in that apartment when you moved in, so the "insinuation" was not exactly out of line. Let's also address the fact that you never informed us that you had bedbugs - we had to find out from your neighbour across the hall, who incidentally is the neighbour "Disgruntled Tenant" is referring to.
You fail to mention that Management dealt with the situation promptly once we did find out - as we do in ALL reported pest problems. The building has
regular pest control for a reason - we don't want pests in the building either - it tends not to be good for business, and as we work in the building too it is hardly in our own best interests to ignore pest problems (as you did). I recommend that any prospective tenants come and check out our records and pest control contracts if they have any doubts about our sincerity when it comes to addressing pest problems. People seem to forget that bedbugs ARE brought into buildings by tenants, on second hand furniture and mattresses or second hand clothing. And nobody ever addresses the fact that responsible landlords who call in pest control regularly because of it are subject to hefty costs on a regular basis - and the only thanks we get are sites like this where any disgruntled tenant can vent, or lie, or exaggerate to their heart's content and we have little or no recourse to defend ourselves. Please also note the very faint print at the bottom of the screen "We don't vouch for the truthfulness of any report on this site". If any other Landlord's out there agree - add your voice.

I had the most horrible time of my life as this address. There has been roaches and bed bugs at there for a while. It used to be a junkies building but they 'cleaned it up'.
Some renovated suited look great including my previous one but I was infested with roaches from day one and we noticed bed bugs after living there for a month.
The management are very sleek and will lie to tenants to be with a smile on their face saying there is not such problem in
their building. They even insinuated that we must have brought the pests in with us...

My neighbors on each side of me were fumigated many times for this problem. I got worried but after inspecting numerous times found nothing. I starting getting these strange bites and convinced the landlord to do the same for my suite. Even after all the crap that I have gone through this morning there is a series of 3 welts on my arm. Beware do not move here ! There is also a problem with Cockroaches as well its never ending. I am moving in a month to a new apartment but i think they have come
back and i am going to have to get all new furniture.
