⚠️ WARNING: My Experience Renting at 1080 Glenashton Drive – Mice Videos Attached

I never thought I'd be writing a post like this, but I believe prospective tenants deserve to know about my experience before deciding whether to rent this property.
During my tenancy, I personally experienced a recurring mouse problem inside the home. This wasn't just hearing scratching in the walls—I personally saw mice running through the house. I'm attaching a video showing a live mouse running inside the home and another showing a mouse caught on a sticky trap.
I also found what I believed to be mouse droppings in multiple areas of the house, including near food packaging. Finding droppings and damaged food packaging made me constantly worry about cleanliness and contamination.
One of the worst parts was dealing with the smell after a mouse was caught. The odor made me feel immediately sick and triggered a migraine and nausea. Having to clean up after rodents was something I never expected when renting a home.
I recently drove past the property and noticed that the front yard appears overgrown, with weeds covering much of the lawn.
Everything I've shared here reflects my own personal experience and observations while living there, along with videos that I took. I'm posting this because I hope future tenants will inspect any property carefully, ask questions about maintenance and pest issues, and make an informed decision before signing a lease.

⚠️ WARNING: My Experience Renting at 1080 Glenashton Drive (Oakville)

I normally don't write posts like this, but after everything I experienced at this property, I feel like other renters deserve to know before signing a lease.
Living here was one of the worst experiences of my life.
Throughout my tenancy, I dealt with repeated mice infestations, mould concerns, furnace problems, and what I experienced as a gas leak. At one point, I was left without heat and hot water for approximately 10–12 days during the winter. I repeatedly raised concerns about the condition of the unit, but I felt many of the serious issues were not addressed in a timely manner.
The conditions inside the home caused me constant stress and anxiety. During my time there, I experienced significant health problems that led to ongoing medical treatment. Living in those conditions had a devastating impact on my quality of life and health.
This wasn't just a matter of cosmetic issues or minor repairs. In my experience, these were serious health and safety concerns that made the home feel unsafe to live in.
There were complaints made regarding the condition of the property, and I ultimately had no choice but to leave.
If you're thinking about renting this property, I strongly encourage you to:
Ask detailed questions before signing anything.
Request maintenance records.
Carefully inspect every part of the property.
Don't ignore any signs of moisture, pests, unusual odours, or heating issues.
I am currently involved in legal proceedings relating to my tenancy, so there are certain details I cannot discuss publicly. Everything in this post is based on my own personal experience and is shared to help others make an informed decision.
I personally would never rent this property again.
