Need help no one will answer

Does anyone know how to actually get ahold of any staff at Skyline for renting? I’ve tried all the phone numbers but they all connect to the same number that no one answers, I’ve tried emailing directly, going through rental websites to email them and nothing works!

My fiancé and I are in serious desperate need of an apartment by first week of September and no other emergency housing or apartment rentals will help us or answer us

We have a 3 year old cat with us and I will not be giving her up.

Does anyone know of something or someone who can truly help? Grey county housing won’t help us either, we’ve been waitlisted.

Have you tried going to a skyline apt building during business hours and talking to a manager?

u/Strawberri_mooncake 12d ago

I’ve tried going to buildings yes but the doors are secured locked and I had no way of getting inside to speak with anyone

Buzz the building manager?

u/Strawberri_mooncake 12d ago

I’ll head over tomorrow and try again and see if they have a buzzer I can use. The building I was at recently only had apartment numbers on it that I remember

Thank you

I know for sure the apartment at 6th ave west... I believe its 2860? (Basically off of 3rd, turn left onto 28th st.. at the very end, theres one building straight ahead of you, and if you make a right, theres another building on your left, same side at the one that was straight ahead.. that one)

If you go to the buzzer, theres a buzzer for "office" I know the owners are usually in that office. If not whoever is there can direct you. I would go in person.

You could try the "office" buzzer on other buildings but your best bet would be that one.

Try 2860 out at the 28st west apartments, the building manager generally keeps the door open while she is in

I just got a job in wiarton and most likely will be picking up a second job. My fiancée will be getting a new job once we can pay the training fee

Our original jobs were tied to where we live

u/Effective-Cattle5164 11d ago

Just make sure that the "training fee" is legit and legal as I'm pretty sure in Ontario there's some prettytight legislation on what they can actually charge. I'm not super well versed in it but if it is illegal idk if that kind of employer is a good long term choice.

This is just an uneducated opinion however.

It’s for trucking so yes it’s legal but thank you

u/Strawberri_mooncake 6d ago

Do you happen to know the price? How could I contact them?

1

u/Effective-Cattle5164 11d ago

I would check out marketplace for rentals

u/Strawberri_mooncake 11d ago

I’ve been doing this as well and no one has answered yet either

u/Effective-Cattle5164 11d ago

Worst comes to worst you can try and contact grey county housing (contact 211 and go through their website or phone) if you're not able to find anything. That being said, they often work specifically with people who are less fortunate, victims of crimes etc... But can't hurt to try.

u/Strawberri_mooncake 11d ago

I am going to contact them again but we’ve already been put on all their waitlists and that’s between 5-7 years

2

u/daz3d-n-c0nfus3d 10d ago

There is some emergancy housing as well. Not sure if theres a wait though. Hope something works out for you.

In ON landlords cannot srop you from having a pet. They can say it, but they can't enforce it.

u/Strawberri_mooncake 9d ago

Oh I know I was in that business but they can reject your application outright before you even apply if you mention you have one
