I came across this thread and this thread on reddit about 1 Columbia Street West, managed by Schembri Properties.
UW has organized a meeting because apparently a great number of students who were supposed to be moving in tomorrow have been told that the building won't be ready. Tenants on the reddit thread mentioned that Schembri was refusing to refund deposits and was offering to relocate tenants to a hotel, but nothing has been finalized, even though move-in is just hours away. Not to mention Schembri's lack of professionalism, claiming that leases weren't finalized, and demanding authors of public Facebook discussions be deleted.
I've heard of a few tenants being unable to move in to a rental before, but never a clusterduck of this magnitude.
P.S., is there a template for posts about buildings under construction, similar to what was on WW?
