    In Building A, water & electricity usage is monitored for each individual unit by a company called Metergy. We were asked to set up an account with Metergy before we got the keys to our unit. Payment is made directly to Metergy. We received a flyer from Metergy with instructions with the...

    I’m in building A but had the same experience with a totally dirty filter upon occupancy. What I did was just measure the existing dirty filter and went to Home Depot and bought one of those filters in the cardboard frame that you normally use for a regular forced air gas furnace. In my unit the...

    The appliances are all small, “apartment size”. Fridge has changed our shopping pattern in that we get less stuff more frequently. We are looking to get a small size freezer. Dishwasher is ok. Laundry appliances are small too. Washer works fine. Note that the washer only needs connection to the...

    Hello everyone. I’m on the 7th floor of Building A. I’m looking for a parking spot to rent in the underground. If anyone has an extra spot available or knows someone who does, please let me know. Thanks.

    Had our walkthrough this morning. The service rep (Cody?) showed us where our parking spot and locker are located and showed us the large item garbage disposal room (behind the elevator room on P1). Then she showed us some of the common areas of interest around the lobby, like the property...

    Got the keys to our unit late on Friday, but just got to pop in quickly today. Walk through is on Monday - I have no idea what’s involved in that. It looks like the underground parking is one giant level, shared by building a, building b and the townhouses. There are about 100 visitors spots...

    I’ve been using Rogers for a while. I hope I can port my current Rogers e-mail address over.

    In our case, on occupancy the payable amount consisted of the final deposit on the purchase price as listed in the purchase agreement plus the first month’s occupancy fee prorated based on how many days of the month you actually occupy the unit. The monthly occupancy fee is calculated as the...

    Saw it. Just glad she’s getting on top of the issue. Could be items too big or inappropriate for the chute & people are assuming/hoping that maintenance will take care of it.

    Yes, the appliances in the presentation centre were all small size. I remember we remarked on it at the time. Any defects that you notice at the time of occupancy should be well documented and presented to the builder’s service rep asap. According to Tarion, these need to be addressed under...

    Our lawyers finally received the financial statement from the builder’s lawyers this morning which is pretty late given that our occupancy is supposed to be Thursday. Luckily I freed up some assets last week so that I would have money available for the occupancy fees. In our case, the builder...

    We also have a firm occupancy date of Feb 8. Our lawyers received a bunch of occupancy documents during the week of Feb 22 but the package was missing the interim statement and preparation instructions. As of yesterday, the lawyers still hadn’t received the interim statement. So we haven’t heard...

    Last evening I swung by Building A and B since there are people moving in & I wondered what the situation was like. There were a few lights on in Building A, mostly 2nd & 3rd floor. David Eyer Road is now open so I turned in and pulled into the condo driveway. It looked like the ramp to the...

    Sorry to hear about your frustrations. It’ll help the rest of us go in with eyes wide open. Hopefully your move in went better than your previous experience. We are on the 7th floor with an occupancy date of Feb 8 but our lawyers still haven’t received the occupancy paperwork, just an email from...

    Just got an email from our lawyer saying they have been notified of occupancy date of Feb 8. However the same thing happened in November before the latest delay. I can’t imagine that the warranty starts before occupancy.

    Our revised final occupancy date is Feb 8 (building A, floor 7) but I haven’t heard anything further from the builder. I have a query in with them but haven’t heard back yet. I’m wondering if anyone else has gotten a revised occupancy date.

    Hi Masha. In addition to the good advice that others mentioned, I’d recommend some general things. Take your time and check everything as thoroughly as you can. The rep who helped us (Nick) was very patient and was more thorough than we were (lol). But you may get someone different - don’t let...
