Larlyn Property Management Ltd. - London: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Fantastic
Hi Tennyson,
Thank you for your comments. We will continue to work to maintain the five star rating you have given us.
Negative experience: Horrible, horrible, horrible. Unresponsive staff, tacked on mystery fees and unacceptable levels of disorganization. The turnover is so bad that you're never sure who your main contact is, and there was a scare when my tenant paid rent but still got a notice from them that their rent was overdue... You have to be pretty bad for both the landlord AND the tenant to think you're doing a bad job. Response to your response: I do appreciate that the fees cover any issues management might have with my tenant, however with the pro-rata arrangement we have (where the tenant pays a certain amount of rent, but I receive a lot less), I've asked for more transparency on that and haven't gotten it. Also, the assigned managers can't be that dedicated. I've been emailing Gordan since the end of February, and he has never once responded to a single message. And with the documents I asked Nyasha for, she stonewalled me for weeks. I only got the documents I requested because I called accounting directly to request it myself. I could also write about the incidents I've had with Tatiana, but that would be a couple more paragraphs...
Hi Mel,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We take all concerns seriously and make every effort to investigate and understand the situation fully.
In this case, it appears your tenant had a cheque returned due to non-sufficient funds, and the corresponding NSF fee was applied. This fee would have otherwise been an expense borne by you, so we trust you’ll appreciate that the charge was in place to protect your interests.
Regarding communication and support, please note there is an on-site office staffed daily during regular business hours, as has been communicated to all residents and owners. Additionally, the property is supported by two dedicated managers—one overseeing the rental pool and another assigned to the condominium. This information has been included in multiple communications to owners.
Should you experience any difficulty reaching staff, please be assured that the company president personally responds to all calls and voicemails.
We hope this clarifies matters and proves helpful for any future correspondence. We appreciate your input and the opportunity to respond.
Warm regards,
Negative experience: Poor communication, don't comply with or meet the expectations of their leases. Their poor management has not only impacted me financially, but also my work. Edit: I want to break my lease because YOU aren't meeting the lease agreements. After A MONTH AND A HALF of my trying to get a response from anyone at Larlyn, and me saying I am leaving do I get a half assed response. Your staff and management are horrible at communication, make false agreements and over all are incompetent in every way. Believe me, you earned the 1 star It's also shocking how fast you respond to a review vs a tenant complaint.
Samantha, While we understand your frustration of trying to get out of your lease, it is a contractual obligation whereby you reviewed and signed . Larlyn carries out the instructions of our owner clients. The directions we have is to remind your contractual obligations for which you are being held responsible. Your property manager has offered suggestions to assist in your desires and they are still open to you. We are not able to make that decision for you. a one star rating for the consequences of your own actions is hardly fair to anyone.
Negative experience: The absolute worse management company! No help what so ever they do not even try.
Negative experience: Horrible management that steals landlords money. There are countless financial losses this company has caused and without proof they charged my account. They also documented my original rent amount for several hundred dollars less on top of it all. Gordon was unresponsive for several months when I asked where the funds go and one time he told me there's a "discount" they give to my renter, what a joke. Gordon and Darlene aren't even competent enough read what emails say, and don't even get me started on Tatiana. They owe me money and Darlene repeatedly refused to comprehend what is going on, as this has gone on for months I have decided to take legal action for the theft. I agree with every single thing "Mel" in the comments said as well. I made sure the previous company got fired and you are next, we hired you and in the same way, we will fire you.
Negative experience: Harassing Tenenants at 1059 Wetherfield st London On. Making Canadians take down Small Canadian Flag that is in the garden on our own property, meanwhile other people have signs in there garden regarding alarm systems Gnomes etc.... Sad someone has to complain about a Canadian flag - Notices in everyones mailbox Telling families their kids can't play in the complex. Same board member I can Guarentee. Harassing people about the no parking then is caught in the visitor parking, nothing done to him as he is a board member. Board and Property management Micro managing the way you live. Update :: 02/24 left the green bin on my front porch received a letter stating remove or further action will be taken. There are 4 other green bins sitting on front porches, a set of blue jeans sitting on front porches for 1 month(my neighbour lol) and no letters sent to those homes. Otto the board member harassing me and my family again. 02/24 edit 03/25 - Recieved an email stating I cannot have my garage door open its against condo rules, drive around the complex and multiple Homes have Gargae doors open, they recieved 0 emails about Garage doors being open. edit 04/25 : We are the only unit to recieve and email regarding overnight Parking, many cars park overnight here, ask all neighbours and noone recieved a letter, They disguised the letter as general but only sent to us. Another clear example of me & my family being watched targeted. edit May 11/25 Car parked in front of our home all day and overnight, attached is a uhaul trailer that is impeding multiple visitors parking, Car n trailer parked in front of our homes impeding us from backing out of our driveways. Where is the response to this??? O tickets or notices on car, the board member loves to leave notices only on my cars. Another clear example the condo rules are only ment for me to follow or the person reporting these feels the need to only report my unit. Based on the reviews I am not the only one who thinks this. Lastly The board member who has nothing better to do with his time, Get a life ! Overall Terrible experience dealing with this Property Management Company and you can tell the type of people they are by the responces on negetive reviews.
Neil. You moved into the building as a tenant living in a Condominium Corporation that has rules made for all residents to follow. You should have been given a copy of those rules by your landlord so you would know what you were agreeing to live by. You were given warnings about your parking issues being in violation and you chose to aggressively argue with a Board member. You were also sent a lawyers letter about your harassment of the Board and others. You have continually had a flag on your front lawn that the Board have asked to be removed after Canada Day. The property manager has been unsuccessful in contacting and trying to resolve the approach you have towards your attitude to life living in a Condominium. All said, it is disappointing that you have chosen Google as a way to relieve your frustrations. Perhaps Condominium living isn't for you?
Fantastic experience: Bought our 1st condo and Tatiana has been very polite and helpful to us. She is approachable and tells us to not hesitate to contact here if we need anything. Only positive experiences with her.
Thank you Mary Lou,
We appreciate your recognition of Tatiana's service as she is exemplifying what we at Larlyn try to achieve when working with our clients.
Fantastic experience: I am a contractor that often works with Larlyn. Most often I deal with Raj and Teanne, who are both always pleasant, fair and honest.

Fantastic experience: I have first heard of Larlyn from a family friend few years back. I wasn't interested then because I thought I am happy with where I currently live. But then I came across the building in Wharncliffe and felt the need to search their website. I called the number and made queries about the properties they handle. I am impressed on how accommodating the staff are. Special thanks to Josie Gonzales for being patient enough in answering each of my query and knowledgeable in explaining each of them to make sure that I understand them very well. Her customer service skills are beyond excellent. I am now considering to make the move!

Negative experience: This review is after being with these guys for well over a year and I really wish I read their reviews earlier, I’ve never had such a terrible experience with a property management. My washer broke on October 14th and it hasn’t been fixed/replaced until today(Nov 16). Their supplier doesn’t have the washer in stock and they decided to make me wait over a month. I bet the landlord doesn’t know about this at all, they refused to share the landlord contact information. Terrible experience over all
