Same thing happened for everyone, but don't think this was an error in your favour, this was money paid to Liberty, actually less than you're entitled to after all the fees they've charged for administration. Look at your final closing statement of adjustments and you'll see how much realty...

Is anyone from M3 + M4 going to the meet and greet in the M3 party room on December 7th? I hope they have beer.

My unit is facing north and I find the temperature to be perfect without putting on the heat, it's usually 21.5 or 22 degrees in my unit. My hydro bill is only about $30-$35 a month.

I think it has to do with the increased risk of fire. With ovens, deep fryers etc., there's more likely to be trouble than with an Accountant's office.

While we're on the topic of complaints, what's with the elevators breaking down every other day in M3? How come whenever I go to the gym on a weeknight it's always full and I can never use the treadmills or ellipticals? It sucks.

What was the violation for the $30 ticket? Was it your first time getting a ticket from the concierge? I went to a friend's party last week at his downtown condo, one of the people at the party got their car towed because they didn't get a visitors pass, that's pretty extreme! Our concierge are...

You got a city of Toronto parking ticket? What was the fine? I noticed there aren't many cars parked overnight on De Boers road anymore because of all the tickets that have been given out.

Thanks for the info. How does the city assess the value of your property? Do they just look at the purchase price? Square footage? Neighbourhood? I think the portion we get back is the portion we paid during our occupancy period, I was paying Liberty the monthly value of my property tax for 3...

Does anyone know when residents in M3 + M4 will get their property tax bill? For the residents living in M1 + M2, how long did it take to get your first property tax bill, and was it 1% of your purchase price?

We need the Starbucks to come already, hopefully it will bring our area to life. It would be nice to have some more pedestrian traffic.

When are we going to get some useful retail at the base of M3 & M4? I know that soccer jerseys, window coverings and dry cleaning are all very important, but it would be nice to have some retail that people will actually visit.

How much are parking spots to rent per month on average?

Just got my first hydro bill, for the first 6 months (minus the set-up charge), I'm averaging about $30 a month! I don't use the dishwasher since I wash everything by hand, do laundry once a week, but I have my A/C on, my computer on all day, the lights on, and I'm in a 2 bedroom suite. Not bad...

We're not talking about townhouses, we're comparing houses and condos. I don't know where you can find a 300k house in Toronto, but if one exists I don't think anyone would want to live there. If we're just talking about the cost of ownership between the average house and the average condo, the...

True, but on average condos tend to be less expensive than a house. I don't have any numbers but if I were to guess I'd say the average condo is worth about 300k , and the average house is worth about 500k, I'm probably off on the exact numbers but probably not by much. Condo maintenance fees...
