BEWARE OF SCAMS

WORST PLACE TO MOVE INTO. BEWARE OF SCAMS.

First of all I must thank god I do not have the pleasure of moving into 569 Broadview Avenue & 9 Tennis Crescent.

We viewed a couple of units in the place and found them to be pretty nice and we thought it would be a good idea to put in an application. Thats the only thing positive I can put in this review regarding Timbercreek.

We filled out an application with the property Manager - Dan was his name. He filled it out on the computer and we signed it after he printed it out. We were given a copy of the application which was double copied which meant that it was faded and anything written in fine print was very hard to read. We never received a copy of the application we had signed, which was very clear and easy to read. They also needed a deposit of $1500 and $80 for FOB Keys, which we provided on that day.

So a few day go by and we inquire to see whats going on? They inform us that the application is almost finished and they will get back to us.

We had been looking for other places in the meantime, just in case we were not approved. We finally are approved and receive an email indicating this. We change our mind because we find a place that is more ideal to our situation and tell them we are no longer interested and would like our deposit back. HERE IS WHERE IT GETS INTERESTING.

The property manager says please forward your mailing address and we will send you a check, it is customary for us to deposit your deposit cheque upon approval. We wait a couple of days and there is nothing in the mail. A week goes by and still nothing. Apparently someone from there office was suppose to contact us by the name of Sarah. We eventually have to get a hold of her to find out that we are: Legally bound to pay the $1500 even though we have no intentions of moving in. Then she informs us that it clearly says on the application, mind you we have the blurry double copied version. After vigorously squinting through this we find that in fine print there is such a stipulation.

So we are out $1580. $80 is not even refunded for the FOB keys we never received. We never signed an actual lease. We were taken for a ride as far as getting out money back, it took 3 weeks to get the final word that we will not be getting back our deposit. Dan even sent us a text message that we would receive our cheque, this never happened.

I am actually very happy that I am not moving into this apartment as the size of a 600 square feet for $1500 a month is a little high. More so I am happy not to deal with this kind of company where they do not care about there customers and are only about doing what they can to make money by any means necessary.

Again to all of you dealing with Timbercreek BEWARE OF SCAMS AND LOOPHOLES WHEN SIGNING ANYTHING. Also read reviews online in regards to this company you will find many 1 and 2 star reviews.
