I live in a building, actually there are three buildings here. I don't know about the others but my building has had cockroaches and bedbugs, they think we don't know but we do. It would be nice to tell everyone so we can keep an eye out. The shovelling here has been horrible since they fired our superintendants. The walkway to the parking lot has not been cleared properly, I almost fall every time I walk on it. The building has not been kept clean and it stinks. The building manager doesn't have the time of day for you unless you are white. The last three times I walked out the front door i walked into people smoking drugs. Not a good experience, I'm moving

The spam on rental sites is not appealing.. Anyone who lives here knows that the apartment that you are moving into does not look like that one.. Very deceiving, this is just a place for any unlucky ### that decides to make the dumb move ;(

Here we are in 2013 - same old issues, and CLV Group does not give a ### because CLV can always fill the units with new Linamar employees. Linamar rented 12 units at one time. CLV is always jacking up the rents and will do so again come August 1, 2013.
Their incentive to move out, is so little that they can go and piss up a rope and play with the steam. The turnover of tenants is very high each month. Many tenants just skip out late at night, and not pay the greedy ### for the rent incurred.

Fail:

Make unmarked parking spaces (except visitors...) numbered for no good reason. Then, get the painters back to "fix/change" some spots. THEN, a few months later get them back AGAIN, and get them to change the numbers on some spaces. What a waste of time.

Visitors that are staying overnight, are forced to park next door in the parking lot of 102 when parking overnight...while the visitors spots in our own lot remain empty...and good luck grabbing a spot when visiting too. I think the staff use 3 spots.

wow, i accidently stumbled upon this site while looking up the avalon...which used to be this i assume? since they are linked...
I thought the building was lind of gloomy and not friendly, certainly not what they claim to be online, and the pics of the furnished apartment online didnt really look like what i saw :(

I applied here last week, after reading this all i can say is shred the application...i wont be back!

Tired of This Place

The building I live in is nothing but an upright trailer park! No matter what renovations they do to the place, it will always be the same. I don't think there is any kind of screening process either, they will just let anyone move in there!

The renovations are taking a lot longer than originally predicted and honestly, they should be concerned with other things like mould, drugs, constantly leaking pipes...rather than putting up those stupid, ugly wooden panels on the main floor.

I love getting notices saying that they are going to enter the apartment, and then no one shows up! They can't seem to get their [censor] together.

No matter what you call the place, Silvercreek Estates or CLV or The Avalon...it will always be a carelessly run dump! I'm moving...literally bolting from the place!

wow! I FINALLY got the mould removed from my apt. It only took them close to 3 months...not to bad...

but now theres a beautiful piece of green board in my living room replacing the old rotted, mouldy piece of plywood...cant have my mould and eat it too...
(it was foam insulated and caulked to prevent a draft...only its a place to put your air conditioner, so now if I decide to use my a/c, im going to have to rip it out to get my a/c in there?)

I guess I have to take it upon myself to file ANOTHER request, wait a long time, and get hassled to get it painted...

I will say, I think someone in management is looking on this site (I figure they saw my complaints about the mould and figured they should take care of it)

Still no end in sight for the ongoing construction. No letter stating when they will be done, nothing at all...well, I guess we get attitude from the workers in the building...

"hey idiot workers! If you dont want someone walking on your tile, put up a warning sign, dont just snap at my wife and kids for comming in from outside, and walking on your tile!"

are we allowed to give our rent payments to the tribunal until the work is completed?

thanks for that useless waste of time, and the time thats gonna be spent later fixing the hole and painting it...

...and thanks to the guy they hired! thanks for the mess you left me, and I would bet, and everyone else!

well...that was a fun night...

when a fire alarm goes off at 10:00pm, you wake your kids up, and leave the building...

what if the fire alarm is not really for a fire but rather because of work going on in the building, and NO ONE send you a letter or even has the common decency to post a note in the lobby telling us to expect this annoyance...

i even called the fire debt. this morning and asked them if they knew what was up...they knew about it...wow

THANKS WHOEVER!

let the fire dept know that the alarm is gonna go off whenever, but dont bother to tell your paying tenants!?!? this place is unreal.

as my children try to nap now, there is the fire alarm going off every so often, must have went off 8 0r 9 times for a few seconds by now...no naps today...sweet

at least they will give us a good rebate with our next rent payment...cough...mmmm hmmmmm...

haha, here we go again, except this time the problems are much worse than before.
From everyone that i talk to it seems like no one can get anything done here, so many lights are out in the stairwells. I guess they figure passed the 4th floor doesent matter, until there is a fire and someone falls.

The hallways are DISGUSTING! i dont think they have been vaccumed in months ...and that is being nice!
I agree with Helen, all they seem to care about are their offices...screw us tenants who are paying for your renovations!

As for the memo we recieved...what renovations? just seems like a mess to me
I can finally get out of here next month and i could not be happier! Goodluck to the people who are not as lucky.

This has shaped up to be such a hole since Avalon took over! The construction going on is a pain, and looks no different than before. I like how the offices for the leasing agents are priorities for this company, yet the tenants who have mold or other problems are once again shafted. And yet the memo posted, says 'improvements to YOUR building". My building? Whatever. This place is just awful.

Yeah what is with the insulation, does it take 3 months to repair a hole mean come on! This place sucks...oh
I agree, if you want something done do it yourself this is a self run place!
Also what is up with the garbage, my family came by for Easter weekend and i was so embarrased at the state of this place my sister joked that they needed to get me out of the ghetto.

As my family and I returned home from an outing, I noticed that there were two vehicles parked in a "future residents" section. I noticed that the large dodge ram 2500 that was there, had been parked there often for the last month. I thought that maybe they were getting rid of those spots, and opening them up to residents. So I parked there. When we entered the building, we were immediately confronted by a "gentleman" who told me I couldn't park there. (not asking if he could help...he had no clue who we were, and his arrogance was not appreciated) I asked him, "well, that truck has been there for the last month, and..." he wouldn't let me finish, interrupting me with "you can't park there" I then asked him who was parked there. He said it was him, a unit manager. Unit manager? "I thought it was for future tenants?" I asked. In which he said he was...ya, ok bud. Maybe this guy should be concerned about managing units, not being parking enforcement.

It's bad enough our hallways are a mess, our lobbies have drywall missing and insulation hanging out, I really don't think the tenants need an arrogant jerk like that. Ever since Avalon took over, it's been a nightmare trying to get any help around the units. I have mould in my apartment, that has been there for months. I have contained it, but am still waiting for proper people to remove it. Very professional, eh?

Lol...this place needs more than a bailout...they should start with investing a broom and a vacuum cleaner and perhaps even someone to push it! I don't know what these supers are doing, not much of anything apparently!

Our building has become so dirty, change of company owners or not there is just no excuse for this!
Get off your lazy ### Lorri and make these supers do something around here.

CLV group is the company that has merged with Interrent, they have made the parking now $25.00 a month that is rediculous! Hope that covers security in the parking lot with all the vandalism happening...i doubt it though.
A one bdrm for over $800.00 wtf? Not in this area!
Interrent is in trouble and needs a bailout..and we will pay the price!
Alot of people have already caught on though, seems like there are more people moving out of here than ever before!

WOW...I didn't realize what I was missing out on lol...everything on this comment board is true! The Silvercreek Estates are one of the worst managed properties I have ever seen...I truly cannot believe that serious action has not yet been taken from the owners to get rid of the supers and manager...I mean how ingnorant can you be? How can you simply read all of these comments and not do something to better the living conditions of your tenants.

No wonder more than half of the buildings are empty...I would never ever recommend living here to anyone.

The management of theses buildings need to get their ### together...

Here we go again fired up for yet another round lol
See i told you its a monthly thing, the catty ladies are at it again!
On a serious note though this place is going to be under new ownership soon if you read up online you will see another company will be taking over Interrent, the owners of Silvercreek Estates..hopefully they will weed out there staff and get rid of the people like this Lorrie Smith that you talk of so that you people can have some peace!
Truthfully i don't think it will matter as its still the AREA...even if they improve the buildings and get new management you still have to contend with the Silvercreek/Willow area label, that will never change!
Unless they move the bldgs lol

I agree! I wrote a work order up about the light at the back entrance being out several times, i also told the super at 100 about it, he said that he would get to it!
The light stayed broken for over a MONTH! I put in a call to the fire inspector...it was fixed the next day lol
Work orders and complaints mean nothing here unless there is something in it for miss smith!

Also wtf is with all the plants in the lobby?
Is this supposed to look good or something! First impression counts, first impression of this building isnt that great.
I uploaded pictures of the dark back entrance, enjoy!

I find it hilarious that you just can't stay off of here...
why would people submit complaints, so that Lorrie can show them to the tenants so that they can read what you have to say about them! Yea ok...
Things only get taken care of if you are a friend of management...for example Lorries ex Wade got new carpet...there are people that needed it alot worse!
Lorrie's brother remained in his unit months after being evicted, living free of Rent ...others werent even given a chance to get their furniture when they were suffering from a mental disorder, locked out with the clothes on her back...how is this fair!? and there is so much more...
but we all already know how pathetic it all is...

As for proper legal avenues...i'm working on that...you don't know whats coming to you, You really shouldnt have had your lawyer call the management at my new place and dis us...they think you guys are pathetic idiots!
Just get over it already!

Posting all these negative comments online will not change your happiness.
Taking care of your own business and not interfering with your building neighbors or Building Management affairs will.

If you have any concerns, let the Building Management know, by following the proper legal avenues.

Complaints don't have to be solved if they are not documented and signed by the complainants. Signed complaints are taken more seriously than verbal ones and those posted online.

It's ok to ### as long you do something about it. Otherwise you are just being a troublemaker.

As i see it they don't have their priorities straight at all...Miss Smith is too worried about getting Dee and Larry out of here to worry about the things that really matter...like doing her job!
She seems to think that all the problems here are their kids...i mean come on really take a good look around all the kids in this area are the same...RUDE LITTLE BRATS that have no respect for anyone! I'm glad that they are leaving and that Lorrie will still be here to deal with all the same old ### ...they will be happier and over this place...its funny to hear the stories though she is so messed in the head that she cant even get past her jealousy of how much we like them here...she will be talking about them long after they leave here, its like an obssession cause her own life is so miserable...and yes when she is over them..if ever..she will target someone else cause thats what she does best! Torment people...if she dislikes you she really dislikes you...her own brother told me that he can't stand her that her job has gone to her head!

But whatever all of us good tenants will find a new place to live one by one...or like latley in the dozens!
A much better place to live in a great neighbourhood where i'm sure supers and managers dont butt into your business...i mean how unprofessional!
We will also be leaving too...just waiting for word about a job and we will be so out of here then its good riddance to Silvercreek for us too!
