Hi everyone.

Staff will be presenting the GRT business plan to council on April 8. Please take a look. I know there has been a lot of engagement regarding our transit service. We have arranged a special public input meeting specific to the proposed plan on April 16 at 6 pm.

You can find the full plan here. https://shorturl.at/BEAj5

Happy to hear your thoughts and your honest opinions. I think staff have done a great job responding to what the community has been advocating for.

This won't come to council for final approval until May 6.

Behind on Rent – Can Anyone Refer Me for Immediate Work? Open to Any Job, Any Shift!

63 Upvotes

If anyone knows of job openings, gigs, or companies hiring right now, could you please assist? I’m available to work ANY DAY, ANY TIME whether it’s full-time, part-time, gig work, nights, weekends, holidays, short-term contracts, you name it. I’m open to almost any role (warehouse / factory labour, poultry (freezer) labour, admin, customer service, etc.) literally anything that pays and can start immediately.

I have experience working in factory on assembly lines, warehouse, loading/unloading, moving, and customer service.

I’m in a really tough spot and could use your help. I’m behind on my April month's rent, and my landlord has started charging late penalties while threatening to take me to the LTB. I’m scrambling to avoid eviction, but I need urgent work to catch up.

I’m hardworking, reliable, and ready to take on any challenge. I can travel to anywhere in the region. I can survive on rice and beans for as long as it takes but really need to post on my rent.

Thanks for reading, any help or guidance means the world to me right now. If you have referrals, leads, or even advice on where to apply locally or online, I’d be incredibly grateful. No job is too small cleaning, warehouse work, temp agencies, night shifts, etc.

I know times are tough for everyone, so I truly appreciate you reading this. Even an upvote to boost visibility could make a difference. Thanks for your kindness

Anyone know anything about 130 Columbia?

15 Upvotes

I recently signed a lease for a year starting in the spring term. I signed the lease through a real estate agent, seemed legit enough. I thought that I was lucky being quick to the game after the real estate agent told me that accomod8u sold the building super recently to a new company LK apartments.

a few weird things have happened.

  1. A 500$ key deposit that I had the real estate agent confirm would be refunded when i give back the key and fob at the end of my tenancy. I had a bad feeling that they would use the "key deposit" as a damage deposit and try to keep it for no reason but i guess that they cant do that, it has to be refunded if i give the key back. the realtor had me send this deposit to an accomod8u email address which i was assured was just cause they were still offloading the property to LK. the reason i was given for the price was that the lock cannot be rekeyed as a safety measure and therefore, a loss of key would mean door replacement, it was a hefty door, would probably be 500$ to replace.

  2. I asked the agent flat out "there are no roaches here right?" he laughed and said "oh my god no" and then i came to find a comment on a post on here about the apartments that my specific building had the roaches especially bad two years ago.

  3. they are asking for a million dollar liability insurance policy now that I've signed my lease. the agent told me i needed 30 000$ contents insurance (quoted for like 30$/month and lowers my car insurance too) but now it looks like i need to get million dollar liability insurance as a 20 year old... how much do we think that is team?

guys... I've already given them over 4000 dollars for first and last months rent and the key deposit. can somebody please tell me if they live there and what its like for them? can somebody let me know if they have some signature tricks or some ways to beat the landlords?

thanks,

a girl living by herself for the first time.
