I had a very disappointing experience with Harrington Housing. Communication was extremely poor throughout my stay, and it was very difficult to get clear responses when I needed assistance. The most frustrating part was the refund and key deposit process. What should have been a straightforward return ended up taking nearly two months. I had to follow up multiple times just to receive updates, which added unnecessary stress. Overall, the lack of timely communication and the long delay in returning my deposit made this experience frustrating. I hope the management improves their responsiveness and refund process for future tenants.

If I could give negative stars, I would. This company is extremely unprofessional and misleading. I was shown a 3-bedroom apartment, but on moving day I was placed in a 4-bedroom unit with only 1 shared bathroom. At that point, you have little choice but to accept what you’re given. Communication is nearly nonexistent; calls and emails go unanswered. My deposit has still not been returned, despite the stated 21-business-day processing time. However, if you are even a day late on rent, they are quick to escalate matters to the Tenant Board. The urgency only seems to apply when money is owed to them; not when they owe tenants. The unit itself was poorly maintained, dark, and overcrowded. Two of the bedrooms appeared to be makeshift additions. Do not be misled by the photos or initial viewing. What is presented is not what you necessarily receive. Proceed with extreme caution. UPDATE Thank you for your response. However, I would like to provide further context. For five months, I repeatedly requested a room change due to ongoing concerns. Those requests went unresolved. Ultimately, I felt forced to terminate my one-year lease early, which required me to forfeit my $1,095 security deposit while also paying for my final month. That was not a decision taken lightly. Regarding communication, the stated 24-hour response time does not reflect my experience. I emailed and texted representatives over a week ago about the refund and received no response. This key deposit refund was only escalated after I left a public review out of frustration. That should not be the catalyst for action. While you mention internal process improvements, the reality is that these issues directly impacted my living situation and finances. The discrepancy between expectations presented during the showing and the actual placement significantly affected my experience. I appreciate that the refund has now been processed. However, the overall handling of my tenancy caused unnecessary stress and discomfort. I hope future tenants experience the improvements you’ve described.

I had a great experience staying with Harrington Housing for one year. The housing was clean, safe and well maintained, and the overall management was smooth and professional. I would like to sincerely thank the Harrington Housing team, especially Said Kaziiev, for being incredibly helpful, supportive and responsive throughout my stay. Their kindness and professionalism truly made a difference and made me feel comfortable and at home. I’m very grateful for such a positive experience and would highly recommend Harrington Housing to anyone looking for a reliable and welcoming place to live. Thank you Harrington housing team.

Living at Harrington was one of the worst experiences of my life. There is absolutely no guarantee that you will be placed with a respectful or rule-abiding roommate. If your roommate is loud, disrespectful, or constantly breaking house rules, do not expect management to meaningfully intervene. I reported repeated noise issues, inappropriate behavior, and ongoing disturbances. Nothing was properly resolved. Instead, the problematic tenant’s contract was extended multiple times. It became very clear that profit matters more than residents’ safety or mental well-being. If you try to move out because your living situation becomes unbearable, you may face penalties and risk losing your deposit. The “flex rooms” offer almost no real privacy — they are essentially divided spaces. If you end up with the wrong person, you can feel trapped in your own room. I would strongly advise anyone considering Harrington to think very carefully before signing a contract

If I can 0 stars...Just judge by the photos, avoiding some of them because they are so gross... 4 people in two bedroom apartment and 1 bath... really????? The most worst experience.... Mix one girl and 3 boys when you asked to share with just girls.... Please international students be aware and do not fall in this horrible please. You can find a nice condo with the same price in market place on FB or other place. Ask your university or college recommendations.

I have been a tenant with Harrington Housing for over a year, and unfortunately my experience has been very disappointing. From the beginning, I faced multiple issues such as room-related problems and leakage. Whenever I tried reaching out through calls or emails, responses were either extremely delayed or completely ignored. Even when issues were acknowledged, it often took a week or more to resolve them. I remained patient throughout my stay and rarely complained, trying to be understanding. However, my recent experience was the final straw. I was originally supposed to vacate this month, but due to a sudden change in plans, I extended my stay for one month, which was communicated and completed only this week, and the updated payment was reflected in my tenant portal. Despite this, I received a message from a representative from the finance department stating that my payment was late and demanding immediate payment, without taking the time to listen to my explanation or review the updated details. The tone and approach were extremely unprofessional and dismissive. There appears to be a serious lack of coordination and communication between departments. Tenants’ concerns are often ignored, but when the company needs something, the approach becomes aggressive and disrespectful. After being a patient, responsible, and timely-paying tenant throughout my stay, this was very disappointing. I strongly do not recommend Harrington Housing due to poor communication, slow issue resolution, and unprofessional treatment of tenants.

Ehsan from Montreal has been extremely helpful and truly excellent at his job. He ensured my move-in process was smooth and comfortable, and he addressed any issues I faced promptly and efficiently. His professionalism, responsiveness, and supportive attitude made a stressful transition much easier. Highly appreciate his dedication and assistance.

I had an excellent experience with Harrington Housing. Ask for Fallou, he was incredibly responsive, professional, and always available. The whole process was smooth and stress-free, the room was fully furnished, and everything was exactly as described. Any request or question was handled quickly and efficiently. I truly appreciated Fallou’s professionalism and kindness. I highly recommend Harrington Housing to anyone looking for reliable and hassle-free accommodation.
