They increased my rent by more than 30%, and when I took issue and after a lot of back and forth, they agreed to give me the same rent provided they lock the second bedroom, which I agreed to, since I was in no mood to move less than 1 year of signing this lease. When they came home to inspect, I happened to have a friend visiting, which they somehow construed as a second person living there. They also looked at camera footage to see who comes in and goes out to make sure I didn't have anyone else living in the apartment (I didn't). Overall, Kim is a good leasing agent and will say things to make you sign the lease (obviously, I know). Learnt the lesson of not taking words at face value. There is often a misalignment between the leasing office and the owners of the building. Pros: 1. Large Kitchen and Toilets 2. Balcony 3. Covered parking 4. In house washer/dryer Cons: 1. Elevator and Water shut of repeatedly, often without advance notice. 2. Lease issues (see above) 3. Front side of the building gets a lot of noise, back side has no natural light 4. Gym is dysfunctional and not maintained (eg. No Dumbbell weights over 10 lbs)
