He is a good Landlord. He bought the building in a BAD condition and slowly he is rebuilding them. Yes he will increase the rent - at least he does work for the increase. Our past landlord only increased the rent and NEVER did anything. Bravo JOE we believe in YOU. Merci

This guy is a crook. He supposedly "lost" 4 of my rent cheques. I gave him new ones and had the first series stopped at the bank, but he still tried to cash them 6 months later, when he thought I had forgotten about them. Now my lock just broke and for 4 days the super refused to fix the lock so I couldn't get outside the apartment. When I finally called the locksmith to get things moving, Caprera refused to pay. I have to fight him now over 170$ when I've been living here for 10 years and never missed a month with my rent.

I am having difficulty reaching this landlord - does anyone have a cell phone number or his email address?
This is a serious issue which may be escalated to legal action. He auto-renewed the lease of one of my clients for one year-despite the fact that notice to terminate was provided and letter received, with evidence from Canada Post.
All I have is the number of his secretary who does not return my calls.

Agrosberg, I have a similar situation and can't reach anyone for a legal matter. My appartment flooded with black moldy water, the heating in the building didn't work, almost no water coming out of my bath/shower and nothing was done to help me after many complaints to the janitor.

Many tenants collectively made complaints to the régie du logement due to a lack of heat, temporary lack of water throughout the building etc..

The régie doesn't even have this guy's correct contact information...

Rude, Greedy ###! stole my $200 deposit money which they asked for a credit check and never called me back. When I called them after two weeks, they asked me to sign a lease with so many conditions. Big time crook! BEWARE...BEWARE..BEWARE! Never ever believe this man, doesn't have a heart and probably got some psychological issues as well.

He easily lies! I've been in court with him today and since I had already read your comments I expected what I saw! He even made the judge laugh. Everyone should sue this guy knowing that he's a crook! The legal system should be trusted however He makes up documents. Judges are not stupid. I'm wondering why all my neighbors whine but they do not take action! make up your documents and go ahead people. You DESERVE much better

Most of the complaints are 100% valid and reflect my own experiences as well. Caprera is only interested in collecting rent and doing as little as necessary to maintain his buildings and provide a safe and clean environment. Laundry machines are cash only because he doesn't declare the revenue. He claims that a tenant has not paid rent for a month or more, yet the tenant has proof that he cashed their checks. This happens constantly with many tenants at a time. Basement locker rooms are often broken into, yet neither he nor his superintendents report the crimes to the police. If the heating system breaks, he simply shuts it down and doesn't notify his tenants. To make matters worse he doesn't have the heating system repaired immediately, and instead waits at least one week before doing anything. This happened in my building two years ago and some of the tenants actually called the police - who in turn called Caprera in the middle of the night to ask what's going on. It's nearly impossible to reach him when you have and issue that needs to be discussed. He doesn't show up for appointments at the Regie du Logement. Tells lies to the judge about why he couldn't show up the previous time. I spoke to a tenant's advocacy group about him. They know him all too well and how bad of a person and landlord he is. Tenants from all of his properties are constantly having to fight him about all kinds of issues. Do yourself a favour and avoid renting in any of his buildings.

WoW! All of these complaints are true. Joe Caprera is a piece of lying garbage. He charges way too much rent and doesnt keep up his many properties. The Regie de Logement even refers to him as a slum lord.

I life in 975 croissant du Ruisseau and the building is infested with cockroaches... it is disgusting to see them walk around.
Joe Caprera recently changed the old washer/dryer that did not wash well and would flood the laundry room. However, he increased each machine from $2 to $3, which he rudely justified by the fact that the machines are new! So basically charging the tenant because HE had to update the machines to prevent them from ruining his own building.
