Rude, poor communication skills and terrible service. Refusal to communicate with owners in a timely manner. Employees have a major attitude problem. I've had employees get angry with me for no reason. Not impressed with Podium.

Very professional and responsible. I had a water leak in my unit and emailed Tony Hall, the property manager, at 1:30am and he responded within 2 minutes and figured out a plan right away! Podium Properties, under Tony Halls management has totally transformed the establishment.

Report
Podium Properties is very slow to deal with routine maintenance issues, many of which relate to building integrity. They do not respond to emails from concerned residents in a timely fashion, and sometimes, they do not respond at all. They fail to maintain important records such as meeting minutes and AGM records for residents to review.

Property Management needs to take a course in proper communication / how to relay relevant information to residents. They like to send out useless memos regarding inclement weather (we can all go to the Environment Canada website ourselves), yet wont notify residents ahead of time to expect loud drilling noises at 8:30am, or why there will be drilling.
Residents are left in the dark about what essential maintenance work on the aging building has been planned (i.e. falling shingles? Perpetually flooded courtyard?)
They also like to either victim-blame, or dont respond at all when one resident

Podium Properties does not care if dogs attack each other with no response, no rules. Beware the elevators, the common spaces, dangerous dogs are allowed to attack your dog, even if its a service dog, with no repercussion. Disgusting.
