Not only did I ask the rental company if there were bedbugs and roaches in the building (I asked specifically and was told there were NONE!!) I did a rather thorough check of the entire apartment before I moved in. Now, two months later, I'm finding roaches in all rooms, and my furniture (including living room sofa and chairs, not just our beds) all have bedbugs. I am horrified and this is turning into a NIGHTMARE. Please do NOT rent at this building!

I have been living here since January 2007 and have had nothing but problems with bug infestation ...both bed bugs and roaches and the management...and they alll have been unpleasant. I complain but truly it seems as though they dont care and when they come to spray the place they are here literally for 2 minutes and they are gone. Doesnt make a difference dont even think they do anything.

I moved here more than two months ago and have not seen or heard of a single bug - wether bed bug or cockroach.

Also, management is great. Swift on the pressing issues for sure.

Bedbugs are everywhere these days, even in the finest hotels and not just in Toronto. One thing about this building is that management will make every effort for you and spray immediately the moment you report bedbugs in your apartment. I've lived here for more than five years, and our current building manager is the best. Rents are reasonable, the downtown location (close to everything) is great, and apartments are snapped up as soon as they become vacant. I have no hesitation in recommending this address to anybody looking for a decent place to live. Just don't listen to the naysayers.

I have lived in 201 Sherbourne for 2 weeks now. We have not seen one bug. They aren't in all the apartments. So I suggest you switch apartments but clean everything before you do. Before you moved in you should have given the place a very good cleaning, sealed any cracks and made sure all of your bedding was covered during the move. Good luck.

just moved in July 2009 and the first night bedbugs were running across my pillow, and cockroachs were running around everywhere, when we went down to freak out they said the only option was to move to another apartment, but if they're in one they're in another so we are stuck

Actually th eperson who talked about being stuck there, if on a lease, is right.
I took the administration of that building to court, because after the four first days i lived in there, i found cockroaches and started asking around and people started telling me about the bedbugs as well.
Turns out the court said that, bedbugs or not, I was lucky that they found someone to replace me, since i could have been in trouble and responsible for the lease ( i moved out at the end of the first month as i comlpetely refused to live in a bug infested place) but the court had no idea that they were charging a "breaking you lease fee" of 150$ and told them THAT WAS COMPLETELY ILLEGAL. Yet I'm sure they still do it... don't go for it!

i think he means if you are still in your lease, if you\'ve gone to month to month, after the 60days notice, the tennant isn\'t responsible for anything

For sure I know the tenant right. Personally I like this website better than others, as this has information about our building.

I just clarify with the following note:

"Once you moved in YOU ARE STUCK ,cause there\'s no way they will let you out of the lease , unless you pay a fee , give them 60 days notice and if after the 60 days notice they still don\'t rent your unit , you are still responsible for paying the rent !!!!"

Would that be possible for the writer to let me know how could this happen. As this controdicts with the tenant right.

Thanks in advance.

Following the note posted on Sep 2, 2008, if I am on month-by-month instead of in the lease contract, and giving them 60 days notice, can I move out without paying any fee?

Just for clarify. Please let us know, as we don't want to be ripped off by the building.

Thanks in advance

Not only there\'s a bed bug issue in this DISGUSTING building ,check out all the crackheads bumming around the building 24/7,365(because the lovely mission is right next door), also they found a woman murderer in the alley behind the building a month ago.
Once you moved in YOU ARE STUCK ,cause there\'s no way they will let you out of the lease , unless you pay a fee , give them 60 days notice and if after the 60 days notice they still don\'t rent your unit , you are still responsible for paying the rent !!!!
VERY SHADY PEOPLE ,
Bottom line STAY CLEAR OF THIS BUILDING (AND METCAP ALLTOGETHER ) UNLESS YOU LOVE CRACK OR $2 DOLLAR HOOKERS.
