Was looking at this building, saw a unit was really nice but on my way out encountered a tenant who advised me to look elsewhere. He just shook his his head and said "bugs" to me as we passed. All kudos to the landlord but as he says, look at the map, its the area. Once they're there, you can't get rid of them.

WE ARE CLEAN!!! I am the landlord and I do my best. If you read the web about this issue in Toronto you will notice that infestations also happen in million dollar homes, hospitals, etc. Bedbugs are transferred in moving vans as we believe happened with this young lady below. We have treated the said apartment 3 times at the perscribed 2 week intervals. Our building is now once again clean. We monitor this and educate our tenants for early detection. Look at the map and see how many buildings are infested. It is a horrible problem that is now making a comeback in New York. New pharmaceuticals are required to fight this since the Canadian Government has banned what worked.

This building definitely has an infestation. I recently moved in and had a big problem. The landlord is very kind and does care about the building so he did try and accomodate me, but after 2 failed attempts at erradicating them I had to leave.

I have lived here since November and have not had any problems. From what i have seen the landlord and the super seem to care about any issues that arise. This is an older building, and I am sure some of the units could use work but the rent is very resonable and I think they are doing a pretty good job. From what I understand and have seen if a bug problem does come up the landlord is quick to have someone come in to take care of it right away.

I moved in September 08 and haven't had any mice or bedbug problems. The landlord has a company spray the building once a month to make sure the place stays clean. Fantastic landlord and super who are concerned and take care of any problems that arise.

I live in the building and I am computer savvy. There were indeed bedbugs in 5 units (out of 26) in this building and one of them was mine. The landlord worked with me and a professional service provider to spray my unit every two weeks at his expense. The landlord even reimbursed me for my couch that was infested.

The super and landlord work hard, even purchasing a vaccum cleaner to help me keep it clean.

The building has since been cleaned of these pests and I love living here.

This landlord really cares about this building and since bedbugs are endemic to Toronto now, I Would rather live where the landlord actually cares.

I live in 1 Triller Avenue and I can confirm that the building is infested. I suggest not moving in. Sililar to other reports on this page, I felt that the building was well taken care of for its age and location, but once youmove in you learn the real issues. The building needs a serious pest management plan and I do not believe that the landlord or the super has any intention of doing so regardless of the promises they make. I am now suffering from an infestation in my unit and it feels like I am living in a horror film.

My best friend (not computer savvy) lives in this building. He doesn't react to any kind of insect bites, so he had no idea his unit had bed bugs. Every time I was there, for any length of time, I would end up with many bites on my legs. One day I noticed a flat reddish bug by the gaping hole in the wall. Not a roach, but a bed bug. The nosy superintendent would not confirm what we knew; this building is infested. Her way around it was by saying "if there is a problem." One more problem to add to this "desperate for repairs" building.

My girlfriend moved this past spring to 1 Triller Ave (1554 King St West) and was getting these mysterious bites after a couple of days. I thought they were from mosquitoes or spiders until she researched further and discovered the bedbug problem in Toronto. We spoke to four different people in the building, each of them with the same type of bites. The super is still in complete denial, and believes they came from Ikea. My girlfriend heard that the building owner is only spraying the units where he received complaints, rather than spraying the whole building to completely eliminate the bedbug infestation. Upon first impressions, the building seems clean and well taken care of, but inside the doors are bedbugs and plenty of mice. RENTERS BEWARE
