I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS APARTMENT, NOR ANYTHING FROM GH CAPITAL.

1. They specifically show apartments in 100 and 150 if you are from a low income family, as those buildings are not very well maintained, especially the building across 100 Graydon Hall, which I believe is 150. When you go take a tour, you will see what I mean. The hallways are dirty, there are bugs/cockroaches which they will tell you that 1. they don't have any; or 2. they had an exterminator come in long time ago.

2. The 50 Graydon Hall Building compare to the other two buildings are maintained a lot better, but they won't offer you or show you that building if you have small children. - This is called discrimination, and it is against the law. However, if you don't have children, and don't like to deal with them, then I guess 50 is good, just make sure you ask for it.

3. All properties have constant issues with their units. It's an old building, so constant fixing is unavoidable, however, most of the time, they will dismiss the problem if you complaing about it, unless you personally email their head office! Please remember to ALWAYS email thier head office about EVERYTHING that goes wrong, or else, in the long run, you are screwed if you ever want to take them to the tribunal.

4. All three buildings have heating issue. The apartments are very cold during the winter in most of the units. Due to the fact that they are old buildings, the windows are not properly sealed, and would need to replace them, but because they will not choose that option, lot of cold air are coming from the windows, which no matter what they try to do for you, it will not solve the problem. If you still decide to choose to live there, make sure you choose the units that do not have big windows through out the apartment unit, you may have a bit better quality of heating during the winter time, and I said... a bit.

These are the four of the main issues that I have encountered as a tenant there. This message is just for people to be aware of issues and conditions before choosing them, because if I knew that there were all these problems, I would definiately not have chose them.

There are a lot of vacant units in these buildings...and there's a reason why. There are plenty of properties other than these specific buildings that are affordable.

Please remember, YOU PAY WHAT YOU GET FOR. The building manamgent records everything, so please make sure if you do live there, cover your behind and document EVERYTHING.

Hope this helps!

P.s. there are other buildings on Graydon Hall as well, but I'm specifically talking about the 50, 100 and 150 which belongs to GH Captial.
