00:00 cannot find my house and they have no record of the house that I'm living in, the townhouse.
00:05 Yours only?
00:06 No, the four that is on my compound.
00:09 No record?
00:10 No record.
00:11 It's not something you'd ever expect to hear, but at least one HTC tenant claims that the
00:17 corporation cannot find any physical record of the townhouse she presently occupies.
00:22 We went to the lawyer to do the, to convert the LTO to mortgage and when the lawyer almost
00:28 completed, it was the last stage, the lawyer said that HTC cannot find any credentials
00:33 for the house, so they are now looking into it.
00:36 HTC said that they are looking into it.
00:38 So I went into, went upon myself and go to Town and Country to find out what's going
00:43 on.
00:44 They said they know nothing about that.
00:45 So we went back to HTC and HTC did not answer me.
00:48 This is since what year?
00:49 2018, I started to apply for the mortgage.
00:52 And you still have to pay monthly fees?
00:54 Yes, I still pay my mortgage, my LTO payment, $3,500 a month.
00:58 She tells TV6 most of the other tenants in the development have been successful in converting
01:04 to mortgage, but while they may have the security of a mortgage, a few of those very said residents
01:09 tell TV6 they are less than pleased with the properties they are paying to own.
01:14 There's still a lot of roofing problems.
01:17 Another encounter they have is that when rain fall and it fall from the northeast side,
01:23 everybody facing the northeast side will get water pouring out from their house.
01:27 About a month ago, HTC sent an engineer, he came and told us flat, they cannot do anything
01:32 for our roofing.
01:33 There's a Canadian design and the company who did the roofing is no longer in existence.
01:42 They have no material to do that.
01:44 So they had to formulate another plan on how to rectify this problem we have facing the
01:50 roofing.
01:51 The residents supplied us with videos showing water coursing through their homes and in
01:56 one lady's case, raw sewage.
01:58 The water just flooded the whole place.
02:01 Came down on our entertainment center, our TV spoil and all of that.
02:11 Sewage water?
02:12 Sewage water, yeah.
02:14 When that was?
02:16 That was about a year ago.
02:18 And since they came and they do their renovation, they never came back to put up the ceiling.
02:23 The ceiling is still down.
02:25 TV6 News contacted the HTC on the residents' claims.
02:29 The corporation says it is aware of some of the issues being highlighted and is currently
02:33 in works through the Public Sector Investment Program to remedy those situations in the
02:38 2023-2024 program as it pertains to the so-called missing units.
02:44 The HTC explains that the parcel of land housing the building in question is on real property
02:50 ordinance lands and the HTC is still in the process of attaining full ownership of the
02:55 land.
02:56 The HTC adds, the tenant, like several others in the development, is in significant arrears.
