Merritt Properties

I am a new tenant and have been in the property less than 10 weeks. The rafters or HVAC were not cleaned in many years as the suite was not in use prior to my tenancy for a long period of time. Consequently the space requires cleaning 4 – 5 times per week and air quality is very poor caused by circulation of blackened dust. The space is being used as a sporting venue. The landlord did not consult prior to installation of lighting. As a new business I am now faced with $ 3,600 fee to sort this out. After 10+ week items on the punch list have not been addressed. We have experienced 2 water leaks. The first took over 2 weeks to address rendered part of the building unusable. The second leak was fixed by resulted in 25% of the space being unusable for 2 day (will see today if it is still leaking). The back door — an emergency exit can not be opened from inside — this has persisted for over 1 week. The bathroom sink is cracked and utility sink previously leaked. Response from landlord is painfully slow.
