There were bedbugs at this location and there ARE cockroach manifestations. The management is terrible and they constantly threaten to take people to court. Not worth the rent or the trouble. The worst building management. It's a great place to live if you have a business and you can pay them under the table for favors.

I have lived at this location since 2002 on the 2nd floor and my buddy lives up on the 8th. Neither one of us have ever experienced any bedbugs or roaches.
Perhaps, you should take a look at your living conditions. Are you bringing items in the building that have been left out on the side of the road?
by the way, i happened on the site by accident as I was just googling the building address - just because.
peace out

I have lived here for almost two years and I am moving out asap.
I haven't seen any bedbugs but the cockroaches are out of hand.
I've had to throw out two microwaves from infestation and when I move I am throwing out most of my furniture.

that happen to my gf and i she was covered in horrible bites i wasnt , but studies have said you can be bitten and show no signs depends on how your system handles it. i do agree property managements get on this site to try to make people out to be liars. i wish the city of toronto would get more aggressive with the bed bug problem its going to get worse. i've been throwing things out i tell people while they are going through garbage picking my stuff up they dont seem to care. well we are leaving the city with only the clothes on our back and a few sentimental items that are baggged up which will remained bagged 4 the the next 2yrs. When we get to our new place we will through out those clothes and buy new ones. We are going to landlord and tennant board we have made official complaints. Good luck to everyone.

What are you doing on a bedbug site checking your address if there are no bedbugs in your building?

Comments like that kill me. Anytime you see "that's a lie, there are no bedbugs", suspect it's someone from building management.

Also, not everyone is affected by bedbugs, so just because you don't see them, doesn't mean that reports of them are a lie. My boyfriend sleeps in the same bed as me and they don't touch him, and I end up covered in welts.

The previous tenant is not telling truth.
There are no bedbugs in this building. I have been there for over 10 years and have not witnessed it. The management over the past years has only gotten better.
The supers onsite have been excellent and care for the building. They are always cleaning up after careless tenants and continuously enforcing the rules.

I have rented a unit on the 8th floor in the building in 2005.
After moving in the unit I discovered that there are small holes on the baseboards, on the hardwood floors, inside the electrical outlets and a lot of bed bugs living inside them, later on after speaking with some of the tenements I came to know that they have experienced the same thing. I had to go to the doctor because my skin started to swallow and it irritated me so much, it iwas a terrible experience that I really don’t want to see any one going through.At night I was not able to sleep at all, it is extremely stupid and irritating feeling.
Building management are really careless, stupid the worst ever. It is only after you complain one million time, is when they would supply you with the cheapest after market insecticides that doesn’t even work for bedbugs.
I am posting this as a WARNING, this building at 540 Sherbourne St. is infested with bed buds and the management who are called Better Living Homes are the worst ever, they don’t understand and don’t care about any thing except for collecting the rent they will not help you to get rid of the infestation but rather they would take you to court if you try to move out. Stay away my brother/sister.
I can become a wittness with you if you experience with them the same story of suffer.

Thanks.
