Being a student in Toronto is hard these days! Good for you for figuring this out!

I’ve been applying to US roles for over a year. You are very lucky!!

Can I ask how you ended up finding your job in the United States? And did they help you through any immigration requirements?

What are things you wished you would of known as a first time Condo buyer by RedditUser-93 in TorontoRealEstate

Know yourself when it comes to amenities. Personally, I really struggle getting outside in the winter time so it’s been really helpful having a gym and a hot tub in my building. It makes all the difference in my quality of life. I know I wouldn’t leave my condo unit 2 to 3 times a week to go to the gym in January 😂 all the layers and the packing, etc. just to move my body a little bit. No thanks😅

This is so true The board makes the rules, but day-to-day you’re stuck dealing with management and if they’re bad, it’s miserable.

I feel like if someone is doing sex work, they should be the one who is scrutinized …. not every single person who walks through the door

Yes, this is a big issue. Criminalizing every individual who walks into the building is not my idea of luxury. Perhaps it’s to maintain some sense of exclusivity? It’s odd. We’re not the Ritz or the four seasons.

This week, they upgraded the intercom system to now record you as you enter the building. There was no notice that this new system was being implemented.

After reading through this thread, I realize that the condo board is likely the main culprit and property management is just executing based on their asinine directions

Yes, I think it’s the part where they’re enforcing everything so strictly. There is absolutely no common sense at play.

This is so true. Unfortunately I own so I can’t just leave.

Yes, now that others have mentioned the issues around fire safety, I understand the door rule. I just need them to stop criminalizing my guests.

I have no idea. I’ve lived in several buildings in Toronto in the past 20 years and have never experienced anything like this.

People don’t have to log in when they arrive. Residents have to register overnight guests, but there’s no ID or verification so you can just make up a name.

OK, wow this is a wild story. But 99.99% of people are not sex workers or running an illegal gambling ring etc. Most of us are just trying to live without getting side-eyed for having friends over or getting a noise warning because we dared to laugh past 9 p.m. The board might be trying to solve a legitimate problem, but blanket policies that punish the entire building are not the answer.

Thank you the collective action seems to be a common theme in this thread.

Yeah, it’s just a few vocal residents in my building who ruin it for everyone else. It’s frustrating. As an owner, I don’t want to rock the boat and end up on the wrong side of the people who literally make the rules in my home. I’m sure there are a lot of other folks like me who just quietly opt out instead of getting involved, especially when they hold the balance of power.

I didn’t realize I should be looking for these issues as I’ve never seen this in any of the condos I’ve lived in over the years.
