If the problem is unique to your unit, contact management directly for a resolution. (Please copy the TA in order for us to determine if others are encountering the same issues.)
The Tenants' Association (TA) tries to address issues that affect ALL tenants. This enables us to build a case, contact management, measure their responses and actions, and add these issues to our Rent Abatement/Tenants' Rights applications before the Landlord Tenant Tribunal (LTB).
The Tenants’ Association will endeavour to respond to your inquiries in timely manner and will respond to appropriate inquiries.
The TA is a collective effort working together for the benefit of 500 Duplex tenants.
Any information is provided for educational purposes and does not constitute legal advice. If your issue is related to building maintenance or deficiencies, please contact building management and copy us on the correspondance.

VOLUNTEER
VOLUNTEER
The Tenants' Association is only as strong as the members who step forward and offer their services. We are always looking for new members of the Executive and invite you to volunteer.
We have chosen a model that has two people sharing key positions. This allows for shared responsibility of work load and assures the positions are covered when individuals are away.
Our members are a source of many talents. Business experience is helpful. Accounting and legal experience would also be helpful. Most important is a willingness to work with a team of people who want 500 Duplex to be a great place to live.
Please consider joining your Executive. It's easy to say "yes". Send us an email at: 500duplexta@gmail.com
