Noxious & Offensive Odor Policy

A noxious odor is ANY smell of such an intensity that it becomes apparent and/or offensive to others. Any odor can become noxious or offensive when it is too strong. Some examples are cigarette, cigar, or pipe smoke; incense; perfume; poor personal hygiene; air freshening spray; excess amounts of garbage; large amounts of dirty laundry and cannabis smell. Furthermore, because incense and candles present themselves as a fire hazard as well as a source of potentially noxious odor, it is prohibited at Parkside.

While Inside Your Unit

1. Always lock your doors

2. You have deadbolt locks on the doors; use them while you are inside your room.

3. When answering the door, first determine who is there by looking through the peephole. If the person is unknown, first talk with them without opening the door and don’t open the door if you have concerns.

4. If the person says they work for Parkside, please feel free to call the office to confirm it's an employee needing into your room. All staff will be identifiable by Parkside uniform and nametag.

5. Make sure to keep your windows locked when you are not in your room and at night.

6. Do not give or lend your keys, your ID, access card, or mailbox key to anyone.

7. Do not put markings on your key ring to identify your name, address, or phone number. This includes your apartment/room number.

8. If you are concerned because you have lost your key or because someone you distrust has a key, ask to have your locks changed. You have a statutory right to do so, provided you pay the cost of the lock change in advance.

9. Dial “911” for emergencies. Immediately following, please call the office or Community Assistant so they may take appropriate measures.

10. Frequently check your door locks to make sure they are working properly.

11. Immediately report to the office in writing or complete a work order any malfunction of other devices outside your room, such as broken gate locks, burned out lights, blocked passageways, broken railings, etc.

12. Mark or engrave identification on valuable personal possessions, such as your computer or bicycle.

Feeling “Unsafe” Vs. “Uncomfortable”

Residents expressing fear for safety, or a self-described “unsafe” environment are deemed to be in a life-or-death situation. Residents feeling “unsafe” are treated with high priority and given access to resources, within the community, or partner institutions, or via 9-1-1 emergency.

Residents experiencing roommate conflicts, personal struggles, or strife, or otherwise existing in an environment that does not pose an immediate and measurable risk to their life and/or livelihood are not considered to be “unsafe,” but rather “uncomfortable.” Discomfort can be and is a natural part of cohabitation in an environment where residents must interact with others of different backgrounds, experiences, personalities, preferences, and/or lifestyles. It is normal to have differences in opinion and/or belief, residents are recommended to participate in conflict resolution, roommate agreements, and mediation as appropriate.

Roommate Conflict

You are sure to experience conflicts within your suite at some point during your stay. Whereas the Residence Life Department is here to support you navigate these challenges; it is our expectation that when you experience a conflict:

1. Upon your arrival you will complete a Roommate Agreement that will help you stablish the basic cohabitational norms. While the roommate agreement is not an actual contract,

it has been provided as unique, communicative tool for residents to utilize to mitigate future feuds or conflicts with their roommates.

2. When experiencing discomfort in your unit, communicate the issue/unmet needs with the roommate(s) involved.

3. Should the conflict persist, raise your concern to your House Community Assistant.

4. Participate in a conflict mediation meeting facilitated by the Community Assistants. *Persisting roommate conflicts will be addressed by Management.

For a roommate mediation to be successful, both parties must be open to come up with solutions.

While Outside Your Unit

1. Lock your doors and windows every time you leave your apartment regardless how long you will be away.

2. Tell your roommate where you are going and when you will be back.

3. When walking at night, please walk with another person.

4. Let your Community Assistant and your roommate know if you are going to be gone for an extended period.

Around the Community

1. Room and apartment doors should be always locked. Residents should always keep their keys with them even when leaving for a short period of time and/or when your roommate is in the apartment and not expected to leave.

2. Valuables should be kept locked and out of sight.

3. Residents should practice being aware of their surroundings and being a good neighbour. This can be done by knowing the other Residents and reporting to management staff any suspicious person(s) seen around the property.

4. Please call 911 if your personal safety or the personal safety of another is at risk. If it is not an emergency, you can call the Toronto Police Department’s non-emergency number at 416-808-2222.

5. Parkside does not allow soliciting (except for confirmed political candidates). Please report those individuals to security.

Please remember there is no such thing as a completely safe system. Even the most elaborate of safety precautions are not guarantees against crime. You should always proceed as if such systems do not exist. All systems are subject to mechanical malfunctions, tampering, human error, and personnel absenteeism. Parkside makes no expressed or implied warranties of security. The best safety measures you can take are the ones you can perform as a matter of common-sense and habit.

Parkside is not responsible for any personal damages or thefts. As per the lease agreement, all residents must obtain renter’s insurance.

Q: How long will it take for my work order to be resolved?

A: We strive to complete within 48 hours… yet at times we may require additional parts, supplies, or 3rd party repair personnel
