Business ProfileforHollyburn Properties Limited

For over a year, I lived in a 14-story tall old residential building owned and operated by Hollyburn Properties Limited in West End, Vancouver, Canada. The apartment was advertised as a one-bed room apartment, but in fact it was just a bachelor with a partition wall put up by Hollyburn. I decided not to renew my lease after 12 months. A property manager was heard saying to the onsite resident manager that,” You can show the apartment every day.,” during a pre-vacating routine inspection. Hollyburn scheduled more than a dozen viewing appointments at inconvenience to us. Hollyburn uses * ***** ******* ****** to maximize its rents at the inconvenience of rent paying tenants like me. * **** ******* **** **** ** *** *********** ******* **** ************ ********* ** ********** Hollyburn required me to clean the apartment before vacating according to its specifications. Nevertheless, when I moved into the apartment it did not appear that it had been professionally cleaned nor Hollyburn had shown any proof such as receipts. I noticed that most cleaning tasks were carried out by the live-in handyman and his wife, the resident manager, but not professional cleaners which could not have justified the itemized charges as these were a part of their jobs as employees of Hollyburn. *** **** * *** *** ******** ********* ************ ****** ** *** ******* ******* ******* *** *** **** ***** ******* *** ** **** ******** *** ******* ******** ****** ** ***** *** ******** ***** **** ** ***** *** ******* *** ********* ** ***** **** **** ************* ** ******* ********* * *** *** **** ******** ******** *** ******* ******* ******* **** ** *** ******* * *** ** *** *** * ******** ***** **** *********** ***** ***** ***** ****** *** *** *********** ********** ** ******** ***** **** ********* Yet, my worst experience was that one of the two elevators in my building was out of service for almost 3 months. I caution renters to avoid Hollyburn owned and managed old residential buildings.
