A Student Apartment

The apartment itself is fairly dated, with cracks/chips/quirks that come with that. Location to class and transit are ideal, and the maintenance staff does their best to keep up with temperamental elevators and kitchen appliance issues. Overall happy to call it home.

There are many things that do not work, or work very poorly in the apartment. The lights flicker incesently, despite attempts of repair by macitence workers. The hot water is very sparse. The wifi is very poor in terms of reliability and placement. I.e. the wifi only works in certain rooms.

My expierence at this apartment is very poor. York University Housing Services is neither helpful nor professional. They show an unwillingness to work with students, and do not seem to comprehend the responsibilities associated with being a landlord. I would not, and currently do no, recommend York University Housing Services to any Osgoode students.
For example, York University Housing Services is difficult to get into contact with. Additionally, they do not comprehend, or care, about a severe lack of hot water in the apartment. This is not a privilege associated with tenacy. It is in the Landlord / Tenant Act.
There is a clause in the terms of obtaining one's keys to pick it up from the drop box within a time period (the duration of a day), otherwise students are subject to forfeiture of their tenancy. This is not legal. I have been looking into advocacy and resolution avenues for this problem, but will also draw your attention to it. When a tenant as paid their lawful rent, the landlord cannot revoke their tenancy vis a vis eviction on the basis they did not pick up their key in a given time frame.
Further, upon moving in, the apartment had a problem with insects that was quite rampant. The apartment was littered with dead and alive insects.
York University Housing Services shows both a disregard for the wellbeing of their tenants, and a disregard for the law. I would never recommend using York University Housing Services.

Not bad but not great

Some issues with maintenance, especially because the building is quite old.
