Expensive to heat; only one small baseboard heater to heat whole front half of apartment (2 rooms + large hallway), and one to heat back. Drafts always coming from inside kitchen cupboards and holes in the floors. Windows do not close/seal properly. Small amount of sunlight hits front window only in a.m. Back room adjacent to kitchen has no heaters at all, making the room unusable in the cold months. According to Hydro QC website, monthly hydro bill is ~+$160/month. In winter of 2017/2018, we had one bill that was close to $400. Space heaters needed for every room. In summer, only one tiny window in front of apartment that cannot fit an AC. Always stale and hot. Also no light fixture in the living room, so cannot install a ceiling fan. Mould in the bathroom; even the products/bottles inside the bathroom cupboard have gotten mouldy.

Closets constantly smell like the food of other tenants, making your clothes stink. No noise/smell insulation on shared wall; can hear full conversations at times from next door and above, can hear the man above snoring, can even hear bowel movements in the summertime when the windows are open. Ground floor neighbours have had parties until 3am, people *literally* yelling and screaming. Will often get drunk on front balcony/staircase in summertime. We and our visitors have seen multiple tenants (from both 6065 Lasalle and 6061 Lasalle) on our private balcony, looking in our front window or knocking on it at midnight when belligerent drunk. You won't be allowed to have dogs, but there are 2 dogs in the building who bark fairly often throughout the day and night, roam the property/front street without leash and use the front lawn as their bathroom. Upstairs neighbour and his adult children walk around all throughout the day, sometimes as of 5:30am, with boots on, which you can hear stomping from every room. Would often ring the bell at 8am on Saturdays in his underwear, constantly asking to use our phone. Very loud and disrespectful. Backyard is supposed to be private to this residence, yet the private gate is constantly left opened by the other tenants. Tenants in 6065 boul Lasalle kept putting their trash in the backyard for months even though they are fully aware they have no right of access.

There is a random door in the apartment that leads to the next door neighbour's, which has apparently been "sealed" by the neighbour herself from the other side (ie: not done professionally; door isn't even shut all the way and still moves). Seems like with a little force, it will actually open). Again, not soundproofed - they vacuum almost daily, starting between 8am-8:30am, so you can hear everything through this door.

The staircase that leads to the backyard/garbage bins is quite treacherous (ie: very narrow; stair leads directly to doorway, no landing; no handrails) and the neighbours often block the way with their mops, mop buckets, trash, and other items.

Constant noise from the neighbours makes it difficult to have a home office, get a good night's sleep, or ever sleep in. Taking Hydro bill into account, way overpriced for a one bedroom apartment that is cold, dark and loud, and where you have to fight for your privacy. Never been as unhappy with a rental property as this one.
