Depends on your unit situation, our lawyer highlight few key items to be delivered then the unit is "fit" for occupancy. if these items are not there then we will ask for credit, days of missing times occupancy fee/30days. That was the lawyers comments made to builder lawyer. So at the end it...

Our lawyer provided a better idea instead of asking for the delay of cashing cheques (as there's really no compensation), my lawyer requested that for some highlighted missing items we will ask for credits during final closing. it was acknowledged by builder's lawyer. For example, locker isn't...

I believe property manager does semi-annual fan coil maintenance and change the air filter. for more frequent change then it would be done by residents. you can find out the size, open the metal cover, you'll see the filter inserted right in the lower front.

According to the builder's inspector, our unit was better shape than others. So I can't imagine how bad the other units could be.... We emailed our lawyer and asked the builder not to cash our occupancy cheques until these major issues are fixed

We just had PDI today, and this is probably the worst PDI I ever had. There's some critical issues that the unit is practically not ready but tomorrow's occupancy. For those that are going to have PDI, I'd recommend to check carefully and list every single item with the inspector or in Tarion...

I don't think so. I was expecting delay but looks like not. My PDI and lawyer appointments all booked on Tuesday afternoon. I'm on the 17th floor south east tower.

Just got a phone call from builder that our PDI is scheduled for next week Tuesday.

sounds like the team has been rushing the project and created all these issues : (

Thank you for that.. that's good to know and it makes sense to do a week or two ahead of occupancy. likely mine will be delayed.. It's Wednesday and my lawyer hasn't provided any update from builder so I don't think they will make it on time.

It's not rent rent.. it's just some kind payments to help builder offset their carrying cost as soon as the unit becomes livable. The cost (rent) is made up of tax, maintenance fee and builder's mortgage interests. But they could use their actual commercial mortgage interest instead of market...

Really. I didn’t know that, I do need to look into my current home final closing document. I thought the final closing is only about outstanding balance (out of purchase price) to builder which is covered by mortgage. The interim occupancy fee doesn’t pay down any of it as just kind of “rent”

Wow. So likely mine will be delayed till September 21st too. I heard the interest rate might raise again in September ugh.

I emailed our lawyer, lawyer got back to me saying PDI it's usually done by builder directly, I won't hear from them. Our lawyer also informed builder's solicitor that we are still waiting for PDI. Then I emailed builder, builder saying customer care will reach out for PDI, but it could happen...

Have you got the PDI date? apparently the PDI may happen on or the day before occupancy..

I'm sure there are people renting out parking spot. I'd recommend you also reach out to property management to ask about Time & Space community or marketplace site if there's any.. usually each condo has small community site or local ads board.. there you might be able to find more options.

I took screenshots.. but maybe the higher floor units have completed but still under inspection... idk.. still haven't heard back anything from my lawyer.. my unit occupancy is next Wednesday.

Ah I see. Thank you. It’s really towards alternative accommodation.

Oh interesting, I haven't heard anything from the lawyer, my unit is on 17th floor, south east tower. Also as per builder's website my unit adjustment letter isn't available at this moment as well. Looks like they just got permit for floor 11 to 12...

How much can I get from that? any range of numbers for compensation? I would love to ask for a lower interest rate though LOL

Maybe they are too busy to update us lol
