An Introduction
I've started this blog as a way to warn others about Mainstreet Equity Corp. They have properties all over Canada, and if you're looking for an apartment, you're sure to see postings or advertisements for their properties. You'll think, "Hey, the rent is pretty decent!" or "Sweet, finally somewhere that allows pets", but I urge you to run, run as fast as you can, even to a property like Boardwalk (we will get into that in a later post).
I can say this from my own personal experience. I'm coming up two years with Mainstreet (it would have been a year...but that's another post), and I cannot wait to get out. I feel like I've been bent over a table and raped while they cackled and pointed.
I would like to add also, that I'm a fantastic tenant. Rent is never late, I'm quiet, I'm clean and I only call for repairs when myself, or family members can't fix them. I'm also not a complainer, but I've hit the breaking point.
My personalized posts are in the works as to Why Mainstreet Equity Corp Sucks, but in the meantime, please see the following links for more complaints on these slumlords:

I think that's all for now. I encourage you to keep checking back as I'm sure things will go so fabulously in the next month and a half that I will have many more stories. If you've had a terrible experience, let me know, and I'll share it with the world. GOOD tenants don't deserve that crap that comes with this company.
And remember "It's a Great Day at Mainstreet!"...except if you live here.
