5365 rue Berri

it's a shame that i do not get to update here more often, but usually, things continue to be on the up and up and reading them back always makes me feel good. I will definitely get to the good stuff, but first i just wanna post a little warning for those who might be looking for an apartement this winter. i agree that it can be hard walkin into a place with onl your pack and your blankets and expect someone to rent to you, but i also agree that it is easy to accept the first crap-house you find. For the past two years, i lived at 5365 rue Berri. (rue berri coin st-gregoire). i came off the streets and was amazed that i was rented to. Unfortunately, the bloc was a terror from day one. Random infestations of mice, cockroaches and BED BUGS(which im allergic to) made it difficult to find/buy things for the place because they always got ruined. the landlord, like many, named PETER SKIERKA, was solely for the money and sent random people into the apartments to make réparations, (if it ever happened at all!) and things were always stolen. my bathroom ceiling caved in THREE times in TWO years and was NEVER repaired. i was attacked behind the building just last week, and i was told to suck it up. the bloc is well-known by police and they rarely respond to 911 calls or for fire, which also happens often because users are smoking crack in the fire escapes which are boarded SHUT! Its easy to accept the place, because it allows dogs and smokers, but these are the ONLY 2 advantages.
Three weeks ago, i told the concierge that i would be leaving for november. There is no bail or anything to sign, so i did not really need to give any notice. anyway, three weeks ago told the concierge and they DID NOT tell the landlord!!, so on friday, i told them it would be Monday that i would leave and they kicked me out with less than 20 hours to pack my things, find helpers and find a truck. I was pissed, because i offered to pay a week's rent so they would not lose money, but they wanted A FULL MONTH'S!!! I needed the ONE day extra cuz i cant move to my new place until tomorrow. (monday). so, 1000$ later and an amazing group of friends, my life is parked on the street in a moving truck for three days! Again, i want to warn people about this place (5365 rue berri) and places like it because i would sleep another winter outside than stay in that place another day!!

PS- a little warning for users... the concierge of this building uses heroin and uses her extra keys to help herself into your apartment to search for things to pawn!
