MENTAL RENTAL!!

It seems they've finally finished doing the renovation on the apartment across the hall.  They've erected a fancy metal sign out front & the rental listings are online.

One word. MENTAL!

I will say that at least the rental listing indicates there's no parking & that hydro & gas are extra, but $1,990/month?  If you can pay that amount in rent, if it is not a short term 1-2 year plan, then you should be paying a mortgage.



I took these below photos today - they are blurry because I was in a rush & felt like I was doing a bad thing by being in the apartment. Why? I don't know. They left it unlocked so....  Didn't they see the movie Pacific Heights?  A squatter could move in over night & boom - that's that!



Sad that they didn't put back the features that are in our unit. They don't even have crown molding.  Another bizarro thing - neither bedroom have a closet & there is only 1 closet in the whole apartment by the entrance.




They have replaced the bathroom & 1 of the bedroom swith an open concept kitchen 
& teeny tiny living room.




A very blurry shot of the kitchen & living room and WOW the floors creak very loud!



This is what I just don't get.  What was the kitchen is now the bathroom that has a door to the hallway.  The fire escape door.  Ours is in our kitchen.  Not to be gross, but I sure hope that when they use the washroom that the hallway doesn't smell like turd. Ugh.  Plus they need to change the glass in that window RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE SHOWER!  That faces Yonge Street.  Just perch yourself on the steps across the street by the mosaic & you can watch the show!

I am not bitter that these apartments are fresh and new.  Ours has more personality & charm. What I am angry about is how since taking ownership of the building and starting the upgrade unit renos, the rest of the bldg has been neglected and has become dusty/dirty.

We went to look at the apartment yesterday in Swansea/High Park and lets just say, that is a post left for another day.
