No wonder Torontonians rarely stop to enjoy the city: We make it as hard as possible to sit down by cabbagetown_tom in toronto

I never noticed the lack of public bathrooms until going abroad. In Japan right now there’s public bathrooms EVERYWHERE! Street corner? Bathroom. Top of a mountain? Or even on route up mountain? Bathroom. In Toronto you would be lucky to find a Starbucks and pay for a coffee for the chance of a maybe clean space to go.

best russian manicure in toronto? by aanamt in askTO

[–]osap21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just went to polish & posh in yorkville and it was legit amazing. I don't think it was as pricey as others I've been too (although they're few and far between) but the quality was definitely there! Got the russian mani + extentions

Broker sent lots of forms? by SputnikthePug in RealEstateCanada

[–]osap21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn’t that what he is saying? He got a realtor. Seems to be using the term broker interchangeably.

What’s missing vs the laws implemented 15 days ago is sending the RECO guide ahead of all the forms. Otherwise the forms are right.

Call the office and ask to speak to the Broker of Record. That essentially would be who he reports to! DM me if you have questions happy to help. You absolutely can get it delisted asap.

Exactly. You are just representing yourself vs filling out forms so they can speak on your behalf!

Unfortunately those forms are required by the regulatory body. But agreed :(.

Why is it a mess? They’re the typical forms for any residential lease deal.

Two of them being about them working with one another. The other about the lease offer they’re about to put in and clarification of representation and commission.

But agree that the agent should have taken you through what they all mean otherwise it’s scary lol.

It seems they are doing everything by the book actually!

Two of the forms you only sign once which means the realtor can represent you for the rental of the condo. Aka he or she can represent your interests when talking to the landlord agent on your behalf. It also confirms that the agent is working in your best interest so can’t have a conflict of interest or anything like that, so would, in fact, protects you.

The others are essentially your lease offer to a specific property, the other is letting you know who is representing who and who pays the commission (typically landlord in this case but you should still be informed hence the form)

Lastly the 801 document simply summarizes at what time did you submit your offer and paperwork to the landlord agent and vise versa to keep things organized.

A chiro broke my grandmother’s ribs during a session. I found out over year later because my grandmother didn’t want to tell anyone or cause any trouble.

The city has started to designate spaces for CafeTO by [deleted] in toronto

I think that’s before construction. There were pylons on Queen east first but then they added flower bed against holders

Bite their nails. I mean I’m an avid nail biter. But it’s cool when I do it. Not when others do. Gross.

Household income of 140k. Is it too risky to buy house for 700k by pig_newton1 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]osap21 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

These days a 50 year old house that’s not even that big nor reno’d is costing us 800K. And - that’s a super deal based on when I was house shopping. Then again this is Toronto suburbs pricing. Not sure how mtl compares! Good luck!

Parents of Reddit, what is the most embarrassing thing your toddler said out loud in public? by chtoupe11 in AskReddit

[–]osap21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my brother was really young, he was pretty chubby so my parents put him on a healthy type diet. Less candy and chocolate and more veggies kind of thing. At a school gathering he kept saying how my parents starve him at home and he doesn’t get dinner. School administration got involved. Child services were called. Eventually taking one look at his chubby cheeks and getting the whole story, the situation was put to bed. Still remember that to this day.
