As a small business tenant, I would strongly advise others to think twice before leasing with Melchior Management - recently bought by Bayshore.
We’ve experienced ongoing health and sanitation issues due to commercial garbage bins forced on us — bins we didn’t request and don’t use but are made to pay for. Another tenant disposes of rotting grocery store food, creating a horrible stench and fly infestations directly outside our business. The garbage sits there for two weeks right outside our back door before it gets picked up. It got so bad we had to shut down one of our areas, losing revenue and damaging the customer experience.
Despite multiple complaints, the property management company refuses to move the bins and instead threatens us and will bill us for basic maintenance to ensure proper sealing around the exterior of the building - which won’t help.
When the bins were moved by someone (possibly the waste management company) they sent a threatening letter from a paralegal to the tenants, like we had moved them - even though none of us have the equipment to do so. I would have recommended they check their cameras but they don’t have any outdoor security in downtown Barrie.
They fully cited in an email that “homelessness in the city of Barrie” is the reason they can’t move them from right outside the back door of the two tenants who don’t want or use them, but who it negatively impacts, way down they way from the grocery store that’s filling it up.
To make matters worse, they can’t even get our TMI charges right, constantly issuing incorrect statements and requiring repeated follow-ups to correct overcharges or errors.
We will have little choice but to terminate our lease due to (many) breaches. It’s incredibly disheartening as a small, local business trying to succeed — and this kind of neglect and mismanagement makes it nearly impossible. How can we have quiet enjoyment of our space when their mismanagement is forcing us to...
Read more*Update- The door finally is fixed because after this review I gave the company a email. I guess now the caretaker was forced to put the door on and the entire time he complained to my friend asking who I was and that he's not appreciating that I wrote the property management company cuz now he is in trouble. Then he tells her that she is so unappreciative and she's lucky he's not charging her. Such a ignorant and unprofessional person to talk like that to a dv survivor and to cry around about his wrong doing. You can believe that I now sent a email to his boss about his unprofessional behavior. That's behavior of a narcissistic person. Blaming others for them in trouble and refusing take accountability. I don't care if this caretaker does not appreciate me writing to his boss, DO YOUR DAMN JOB THEN. Two months to put in a door is just plain lazy. He wants to complain, here is something he can truly complain about. Absolutely disgusts me the level of unprofessionalism this dude has
The building is beautiful and well kept but the way tenants treated is awful. I don't live here but my best friend does. She was recently a victim of DV in her house. She's Been waiting like 2 months for them to replace her bathroom door. She keeps getting told that they are coming to fix it but they never show up. She has been using a sheet as her door and this is absolutely disgusting. Constantly told they are coming but never...
Read moreI had an absolutely horrendous experience with Melchior Management 777 Corporation. I decided to move out of their property and provided them with a one-month notice as per the terms of my lease agreement. Despite this, they went ahead and charged me an entire month's rent, even though I wasn't living there anymore.
To make matters worse, I've been trying relentlessly to get in touch with someone at their office for the past 20 days but no one picks up the phone. they are kicking my mail from one person to another saying he will get back & then she will get & gods know who will get back, and it's been a futile effort. I haven't received my rent or security deposit back, and it's beyond frustrating.
This has been, without a doubt, the worst landlord experience of my entire life. I strongly advise anyone in search of rental properties to steer clear of Melchior Management 777 Corporation. Save yourself the headache and heartache by staying at least 100 miles away from these unprofessional and unreliable...
