Fairgreen Gardens Apartments

Been living here for 5 years now and never once have I had a problem here. I am always given plenty of notice if they need to enter my apartment or if my vehicle needs to be moved to sweep/​shovel the parking lot.
Any maintenance issues I bring up are resolved within 24 – 48 hours.
Lucky to live here and would recommend this place to anyone!

I have recently moved into the complex and have had nothing but a positive experience since being here! I find the landlord to be sweet, caring and more than happy to accommodate me in any way. Yes I have seen cats around the complex, but I also understand that the «no pets» rule came into effect a few years ago and the folks that had pets have been residents for years. So why would anyone ask long term residents to vacate? That would be ludicrous! As for the ice and snow… I completely agree with the previous post… IT’S ALBERTA… if you’re not used to it yet… move to another province. It shocks me that someone that seems so lazy and spoiled even has to rent a place… why not get Dad to buy you a place? Then you can take care of it yourself and you can stop being do dependant on others for your own laziness!

Living in this place was a nightmare for a year and a half. I flat out was harassed by the landlord to the point I had to record a conversation with her and the maintenance man demanding the stop contacting me aside from formal written correspondence. Lynn, the old hag of a property manager said se would not stop. At this point I told her I was going to call the police and she did in fact stop. This haggard woman and the maintenance man both knew when I moved in I had a broken right arm with my thumb immobilized, that being said there is no loading zone in the building I lived in (building 10 650) and therefore often parked in the fire lane when unloading groceries or whatever from my vehicle. It would be there maybe once a week for a couple hours at most if I had planned to be going out again. I was left nasty notes from Lynn (property manager) and the maintenance guy threatening to tow my vehicle (which of course never happened as my vehicle would be moved before bylaw could ever get there) and in one instance one threat even used profanity.
My next issue with this hell hole was the parking lot and side walks. After the first big snow fall and freeze this fall the parking lot was pure ice. After falling and actually cracking my tailbone I called Lynn and told her that they need to put gravel or sand or something down. She told me it wasn’t her problem and no one else has fallen so it’s a waste of money. When I reminded her my uncle owns a large property management company in Calgary and the U.S. And that it was actually her problem as the acting land lord and the parking lot is marked as private property, and that I knew it was her obligation to take proper care to ensure safety she hung up on me. I proceeded to call her right back and let her know I would be pulling a land title to get in touch with the legal owners and contacting my lawyer. Next morning there was an abundance if gravel all over the lot and sidewalks :)
Next issue, in living there a year and a half, there was never a maintenance check done.
Just prior to moving out of this complex I was hospitalized. I called an ambulance from my apartment and wound up spending 8 days in the hospital. During this time, my car was parked in my stall and the lot was plowed, which was fine but did my vehicle really have to be plowed into it’s stall? I couldn’t get it out for 2 days as there was so much ice and snow built up around it. When I called Lynn she said «well when other people leave or go on holidays they leave us their keys so we can move their vehicles if we need to»…what part of I called an ambulance and unexpectedly was in the hospital over a week would lead her to think I had planned to be gone for any length of time, let alone a week? After the snow melted from around my vehicle it was still up on probably 4 – 5 inches of pure ice. Because the parking stall lines were covered before they plowed, it turned out my vehicle was partially over the line. And as a result the person who parked next to me was parking extremely close to my passenger side (and rightly so). BUT again when I asked Lynn to do something about the slab of ice covering most of my stall, as it was actually scraping the bottom of my vehicle when I pulled into the stall, as well it was slipping around and off the slab towards the direction of the vehicle parked on my passenger side, she told me it wasn’t her problem. So after that I started parking again in fire lanes (no where near hydrants of course) as there was a parking ban in effect to grate city streets! Well, of course parking no where near an enterance to any building was a huge ordeal. So I asked her to find me somewhere to park as I pay for the damn stall! She refused and once again hung up on me. When my father called back (as my parents paid my rent because I was a student) she proceeded to yell at him and be completely rude and un accommodating, and of course hung up on him. When he called back, he had to threaten to sue her yet again and magically she found me a vacant stall to park in.
This woman is an awful human being and an even worse landlord. I can’t imagine I’m the only one in this complex who has had such a negative experience with this woman and her staff. (One of which is also her daughter). Oh, and Lynn lives in this complex with her husband who she claims «watches and monitors things»…an old man who know one knows watching young women as they go about their daily life… pretty creepy to say the least. Oh this building was also at the time I signed my lease adults only, and pet free. Received a phone call one day asking if my cats had gotten out… never had a cat or catS. That being said other remnants had dogs and apparently the same rules regarding pets doesn’t apply to everyone. I constantly heard children running in the halls. I thought it was a large dog running down the hallway for a long time.
Bottom line, If u r looking 4 a professionally managed place to live, don’t live there!
