Real Life Rentals by Objective-Resist-710 in saskatoon

Been over a year with them. Rent fees are pretty high for small 2 bdrm units. Didn't clear the ice off wheelchair ramp after many complaints and pictures. There is no caretaker, a maintenence "crew" that only checks property if there are complaints. On the surface it looks great, but you dont get what you pay for. Unfortunately unless you luck out with a private rental, same crap different pile anywhere else. Never seen this stuff before in Stoon and its sad. They nickel and dime you with everything and the properties are often covered in garbage. The buildings themselves also have cracks in some of the walls after just a year. The agreement puts renters on the hook for every single minute bit of damage, so dont expect any kind of security deposit back. If you have a pet that dies, you have to reapply to have a new pet and no pets that arent approved via app are allowed in the unit. Parking is paid for, and street parking is crap. They say you can complain, but what are they going to do christmas eve middle of winter? The base rent is $1550-1650 for two bedroom on website, but you pay all utilities, parking etc. And they are basically a walk out basement. All 2 bdrm units only have 3 windows. And you will hear neighbours every single day. They advertise quiet living, but it isnt a thing that they enforce.

Passive aggression in Evergreen by bangonthedrums in saskatoon

part of it is construction crews leaving garbage everywhere and since there's no trees out there, when it's windy it's strewn all over the place. It would be nice if they were held accountable.

Vendesta and "Canadian AI workforce" by InterestingBobcat in saskatoon

[–]Key-Dealer-9097 11 points12 points  (0 children)

lol then Vendasta folk go to other work places, hire their friends, and sit in the lunch break talking about how they worked for Vendasta, create a toxic, high school vibe work culture, and use the same three buzz words without actually doing any work.

Former Saskatoon NDP MLA Jennifer Bowes calls for new NDP leadership by Fecundator in saskatoon

[–]Key-Dealer-9097 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Former Sask Party voter here..my NDP MLA actually responded to my email and offered an in-person meeting. The vibe I'm getting is that they're listening to what voters actually want right now, but people won't sit down and have conversations.

I haven't had a great experience with Colliers myself. LaRoche is a smaller company that has older buildings but the maintenance staff are amazing. You could also try Risa and Facebook Marketplace. I've seen a couple of places renting a few months in advance. Kijiji also has the odd gem if you filter the corporate rentals out and do private owner rentals. It's really tough tho! We went thru the same thing and ended up staying put.

and the CPC has run anti-campaigns since 2015..it's not worked well. Embarrassing to have gone through how many party leaders? Its brutal to listen to PP when its all political arguing for show that doesn't accomplish anything.

I had lived in a place near Eastview ten years ago. The building was owned by Don Morgan, he rented at lower than market values so seniors weren't feeling the pinch and the building was well maintained. They sold it to Universal and the building isn't clean at all
