I worked with Maddy today and looked at apartments in 2 different buildings. She may be the best rental agent I have worked with. And, I speak with authority. I sold real estate for 35 years and have come across many rental agents. She represents Sterling supremely.

They started a masonry restoration project outside of my apartment without even letting me know and can't even get a professional housekeeping crew to come clean my apartment after the mess they created. The cleaning crew that showed up moved my stuff, left me a rude note and damaged my furniture and plants. Gorgeous building but horrible management company. They do not care about their tenants at all. Do not waste your money and time.

Never ever trust this management. The worst people I have ever met. We lived in Royal York apartment 102. The apartment itself is fine. Although overall is old, the rooms are spacious with wooden flooring, which I think is easy to clean. However, the management is terrible. They tried to take money using a various of excuses. They refused to return our deposit claiming that we sublet the apartment. However, guests are allowed to stay with tenants for a short time. I cannot think of why they made false claims without any evidence. We paid our rent on time and keep the apartment in good condition

I lived in Old King Edward for a year. For the most part it was fine. However, there was leaking in my apartment from the one above and it did take time for them to respond. The issue I have is when I moved out. I made sure to clean and scrub the entire apartment including the kitchen, stove and oven. I moved out two days before my lease expired on the 28th and before I moved out I asked if they would do a walkthrough with me (like most reputable companies do) to make sure everything was ok and if not I could respond to it as I had time. However, they refused to do a final walk through because

I lived in New King Edwards apt. I won't recommend it. The apartments facing Sterling Plaza are very noisy. It's even noisy at night. Additionally, the management is unkind. I made complaint about the bad and bubbling heater on early October. It was fixed one and half month later. When I learned about some details about moving-out, it is said that the laundry card fee and balance would return. However, finally, I didn't get any penny back. If I know this truth before, I won't ask my friends to return my laundry card before the end of lease term.
