I totally understand! I was so stressed out as well! They are actually making progress in the hallways. Yesterday they finished installing the carpets on floors 6 and 7 and it looks so much better. You should come and check it out. They will probably have to repaint the baseboards and around...

Wow..that's a huge fine that they will have to pay! Good for you for following up. It is unfair but if you get compensated it will work out better for you. Your lawyer sounds amazing! They are usually useless for the most part.

No way! Look at them being all sneaky before dropping the bomb. You should definately get more than an apology! On a positive note, it might work out better for you. At least you will move in when things are more in order. With this extra time that they are giving themselves, they might do a...

Are you serious?!! That's insane. Such a short notice!!!! OMG, I feel bad for people that are currently renting and are not in a position to handle these delays. There is absolutely no way that this can be allowed without compensation. I am pretty sure that that the builder is obligated to give...

On your PDI expect a complete disaster but on your Occupancy date your unit will look a lot better. LOL Sorry just trying to prepare you so you are not in a complete shock when you see your unit for the first time. No, not all items will be fixed. They are just swamped and cannot get it done on...

Hi, on your occupancy date, when you pick up your keys, you will be given an agreement from EnerCare to sign and fax. Once thats signed you will be required to setup an an account through www.enercare.ca website. I haven't done any of this as of yet. Should probably do it soon.

I had very similar items. In addition, you should check all kitchen cupboard doors. In some units, the cupboards close to the microwave cannot be fully opened. To fix this they replaced the large door knobs to the more around once. It kind of bothers me as the door knobs look mismatched, so I...

It's going well! I think they did a way better job on units that are on the lower floors. My unit on the 6th floor is perfect. Nothing major to report. Perhaps they were able to spend a bit more time on those units. Living there is nice. I moved from a small one bedroom unit into a 2 bedroom 2...

Thermostats in all units one bedroom, two bedrooms are right in the middle of the main wall of the living room. Thanks for raising this as in issue Shorty! I saw your post and mentioned it right way during my PDI. I have to note it down on the 30 days warranty form as well. I agree, the units...

Thanks! :) Yes, they are just starting to work on the units that are on the lower floors. Some look completely undone, but I am sure they will make it on time. You would be surprised how fast they are able to complete it. They just started working on a unit that's right across from me on the...

Hi, I totally understand. I was so nervous myself in past few weeks but thankfully my move went well. Now I just have to deal with living out of the boxes situation. :( I don't think you need to contact the bank at this point. All you need from them at this point are the certified cheques. As...

Mine is rescheduled for Monday. How did your PDI go? I hope everything was in place and that you didn't find too many defficiencies. I finally moved in and slept in the new place for the first time last night. :) Other have as well but mostly on 5th, 6th floors. They are just starting to work on...

Yes, so annoying! No I haven't heard anything about the new appointment. Maybe I will give Melissa @ One Valhalla a call. I guess it's better that it's delayed than having to look at a unit that's not complete. Yes, from the photos units do look complete but the level of detail is not there...

Shorty, is your PDI still on Tuesday? I got a call from One Valhalla earlier today and my PDI that was scheduled for this Wed is being rescheduled. Also, don't expect things to be done when you go into your PDI appointment. There is still a lot of work to be done. Some units are missing...

Oh good to know. If that's the case, I will probably have to book the day off. I am going to try and do all the document signing the day prior to my closing so I can get those keys ASAP! :) I called my bank earlier today regarding the contents insurance and I am getting a very similar rate. You...

Shorty, where did you get your contents insurance from? Did you shop around or are the prices the pretty much the same? I still don't have mine. Hopefully it's not too expensive. There is nothing else that you would need to provide. You might just have to provide the copy of 2 ids and the name...

The occupancy fees are about the same as the mortgage fees. Maybe it is $100 to $200 less than the mortgage and maintenance. I haven’t done side by side comparison as I still don't know my exact mortgatge amount and terms. The Occupancy fees are broken down into several parts: 1. Interest on...

Hi Rex, She didn't give me a breakdown of all the closing fees, only the fees that I have to pay at Occupancy. On top of the down payment, I see an additional fee related to the Tarion Warranty (registration fee). For me that came to $971 so just account for that as well. My unit is 2...

Totally agree with you about the parking entry. There is always so much confusion around visitors parking and having the dedicated entry for visitors makes it easier. Today, I was able to get all the information from my lawyer. It looks like my parking sport is on level 2 and I am totally okay...

Thank you! I was on the phone the whole day today calling different movers and trying to get a good deal. A lot of them were asking for min of 4 hours. My move is very small so I decided to go with Arbage Cartage Movers. They are getting amazing reviews on home stars and other sites so hopefully...
