I recently visited Harrington Housing, and it was a great experience. Lily was welcoming and took the time to answer all my questions, which made me feel comfortable right away. The building was clean, modern, and well-maintained, and I liked how the rooms were thoughtfully designed to give students both privacy and a sense of community. I also appreciated the range of amenities and the convenient location. Overall, my visit was very positive and gave me confidence that Harrington Housing would be a great place to live and stud

The rooms and common areas are clean (depends on your roommates) and well-furnished. The residence is close to Sherbourne subway. There’s also a well-equipped gym and laundry, which makes it a great place to feel comfortable. Some rooms, including mine, have beautiful views of Toronto and the CN Tower. The staff, especially Olga and Raymond, are always helpful. If you have any problems with the apartment, they will fix it quickly. A big thanks to Olga and Raymond for making my stay so enjoyable. I highly recommend it!

There's a lot to state here. Incompetence, and suspicious. I was in communication with them about a room since October 19th thereabouts, and it was going good. I wanted the room for December but I was told if they get someone before then, they'd give it out. I understand that, it's only business. However, one of their agent told me someone was gonna move out December from the other room (This is the Welsford apartment) and by January it was going to be available. This was my response on October 23rd: 'Sounds great to me. If they plan to move by end of December, I can book for end of December or start of January, If that is okay with you. All I want is a comfortable space at Welsford. Secondly, I thought you have a same gender policy for your apartments too? If it's ok by you, we can move the conversation to my WhatsApp.' Prior to this, I requested for an in-person tour, which is a service available. It was scheduled for today, 1st November, however, nobody came, they keep pushing it around. When I sent a mail to them, they told me 'the reason they couldn't make it is that the room isn't available, even for January'. I was shocked. How is that possible, if I had booked? The response I got was because I wanted an in-person tour. (Note, this room is still occupied by the people said to leave by December). First, I wasn't kept in the schedule for the tour. Secondly, they disregarded my messages.And they didn't even send me a message about it not available any longet. This is outrightly tarnishing the image of the agency and I was referred! I'm so livid right now!😡

I’m writing this review as a current tenant who just received an “urgent” email from Harrington Housing telling me that I have to either relocate or vacate my unit at 88 Pembroke St with only one week’s notice even though I still have two full months left on my lease. This is completely unacceptable and shows a shocking level of disregard for tenants’ rights, time, and basic decency. Harrington is claiming that the landlord decided not to renew their master lease and is forcing every tenant to leave by early November, even though they’ve legally rented these units out to us through December. There was no prior warning, no proper notice period, and no attempt to negotiate or assist tenants responsibly. Instead, they sent a cold, generic email with a “relocate or terminate” ultimatum, as if uprooting people’s lives on short notice is a minor inconvenience. What’s worse is that they are trying to make this sound like they’re doing us a favor by “offering relocation options.” But the reality is this is a mass eviction disguised as a relocation offer. Many of us planned around our leases jobs, studies, and budgets and suddenly being told to leave with barely any time to find a new place in Toronto’s rental market is beyond stressful and unprofessional. If you’re thinking about renting from Harrington Housing, beware. Their business model clearly prioritizes their convenience and profit over any respect for tenants. Communication is impersonal, and their promises of “smooth transitions” mean nothing when they can unilaterally void your housing security. I expected at least transparency, empathy, and fair notice. Instead, I got a last-minute eviction email. I wouldn’t recommend Harrington Housing to anyone who values stability or accountability.

I had a great experience working with Noor. She was very professional and supportive throughout the entire booking and move-in process. She patiently guided me through every step, including the verification and payment process, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was completed smoothly. I truly appreciate her extra effort, kindness, and dedication. She made the whole experience much easier and stress-free. Thanks a lot, good job 👍

I had such a great experience with Harrington Housing, and I honestly can’t thank Attila enough for all the help and support. From the very beginning, he went above and beyond to guide me through the entire leasing process. I had a few issues and confusions at the start, but he was incredibly patient, kind, and thorough in explaining everything. What really stood out to me was how understanding and straightforward he was , no confusion, no pressure, just clear communication and genuine care. It’s rare to find someone who really listens and makes the process feel so smooth and comfortable. Thanks to him, everything worked out perfectly, and I’m extremely happy with how it all went. I’d highly recommend Harrington Housing and Attila to anyone, they truly care about us and make the whole experience wonderful!

I have lived in different Harrington properties over the past several years. I cannot say that my experience was absent of challenges or issues. Nevertheless, as with all companies reputational metrics often rest with frontline customer service workers, and leasing/housing representatives. In my case, the Booking Coordinator Simon, and two sales/leasing coordinators, Noor and Helia, managed my challenges and situation(s) so skillfully, so professionally, and with such kindness, that the issues were resolved quickly and amicably. Certainly, in the case of the Booking Coordinator, he is one of the most responsive, efficient, and fair-minded professionals I have ever dealt with. Simon operates at a level of excellence that is rare. He advocates for tenants, is attentive to their needs and concerns, and is incredibly adept at creating win-win situations. Noor and Helia, as the two leasing coordinators were kind, professional problem-solvers who were literally "hands on" in terms of their desire and willingness to support and assist tenants. I am genuinely impressed with the service I have received from these three amazing representatives at Harrington. They are a credit to the company, a saving grace, and as a result, I feel much greater confidence in Harrington Housing because it is clear that they are committed to excellence, and to finding the right people to assist and support those who rent with them. - Donna S

I recently used Harrington Housing while searching for a new residence in Toronto, and I had the pleasure of meeting Noor. She showed me around the rooms and amenities at 201 Sherbourne Street. Noor was extremely kind, professional, and knowledgeable throughout the process. She patiently answered my questions, made sure I understood all the details, and created a very welcoming experience. Her professionalism and friendly approach made the whole apartment-viewing and booking process smooth and stress-free. I truly appreciate her help and would recommend working with her.
