Trivest Developments Corporation

Im giving this property management firm a 0 rating. Worst property management firm. They have damaged my property twice in a year and refused any responsibility for the wrong doings. Simply ponded me off to my own insurance. Amy Zhang has probably the worst customer service skills. Rude, ignorant, unresponsive and unprofessional!!! Was afraid to even call me back after their building flooded my apartment. Absolutely horrible. Cant wait to rid of this place so i never have to deal with their absurd staff ever again.

Not the nicest building. Building repairs are only a bandage solutions nothing is ever replaced. Laundry machines make doing laundry more of a unpleasant chore than it needs to be. The court yard is and eye sore, quite embarrassing. However, the rent is quite reasonable, been here a while now.

Lived in one of their apartments for 7 years. They were impossible to reach at any time and never removed my name from the Toronto Hydro bill. Because they couldn't be reached by Toronto Hydro, I had to pay for another 14 days after I moved out. Avoid if possible.

I have never lived in a place where I was more disrespected as a tenant than in my current place "maintained" by Trivest Developments Corporation. In order to get us to sign onto the lease they included certain utilities in the rent, made promises about parking access, and assured us that the space would be ready for move in with a few outstanding issues we had taken note of prior to signing, resolved. The reality since we've moved in has been one nightmare after another. None of the work was completed on time, and in fact they hadn't even started when we moved in. We had to have painters and other tradespeople here doing all of the work while we were trying to unpack and get settled in and ready for work. The utilities that they said were included (that we have in writing as included on the lease) they have reneged on and haven't paid - leaving us with significantly higher costs than we either signed up or budgeted for in advance. Also, because of the poor state of maintenance of the apartment, these costs (for things like heat) seem much higher than they should be. We've been out what will amount to thousands of dollars when the year is done. Further, the parking they promised they have since stated is unavailable as the parking place apparently has to be saved for management. They have been harassing us for months stating that if we park there (in the parking discussed as for our unit directly behind our building) that they will have the cars ticketed and towed at our expense. Through conversations with our neighbours we have found out that what is actually happening is that they've decided to try to rent out the parking place separately to a company for $500/month. Since they've realized they have this opportunity to make more money, they've simply decided to go back on our pre-existing parking agreement. They have come by our place unannounced on more than one occasion and have spoken to us in an aggressive manner. My roommate isn't even comfortable interacting with them anymore because of a particularly negative experience they had where one of the property managers - Jane Volkova - was confrontational and hostile to them on the phone. The other property manager for our space is Shivam Pathak. It is difficult for my roommate to be living in a place where they don't even feel it's safe to contact the property management company if something goes wrong when they are home. Then of course the standard applies that you can see from so many of the other comments - they don't send people to fix problems - even serious ones that relate to health and safety. If these problems exist there are never any personnel or managers available to deal with them. But if there is an opportunity for them to make more money, somehow suddenly all of those same personnel and managers are available. Essentially, they will tell you anything they need to in order to get you to sign onto a lease with them, but will then renege on all of those agreements 1 by 1. They have made it clear that their word doesn't matter, and the well-being on the tenants in their apartments doesn't matter, the only thing that matters to them is money. Do yourselves a favour, live anywhere else.
