Emergency Services

Standard Response Time: Within 24 hours

An emergency repair is required when there is a threat to health and safety, or immediate action is required to prevent damage to a tenant's home or neighbouring property. Examples of emergency repairs are:

  • Smoke/CO alarm sounding
  • Flooding
  • Fire damage
  • Windows are broken and there is a security risk
  • Main unit door is broken, and you are unable to unlock the door (only if 1 door to unit)
  • Exposed electrical wiring
  • Clogged toilet (only one toilet in your unit). Tenant must attempt to plunge first.
  • Leaking roof
  • Loss of heat, power, or water (only in your unit, not communal outage)

For Fire and Police Emergencies please call 911.

For Emergency on-call services please call 613-546-5591 and press ‘8’ when prompted.

note: if your call is NOT deemed an emergency, you may be charged a fee of $50

Priority Repairs

We try to acknowledge your request within one business day and prioritized to be completed within 7 days. A priority repair is when there is a problem causing an inconvenience but is not a threat to your health or safety. Examples of a priority repair are:

  • Leaking pipes or water supply line
  • Slow drain
  • No hot water
  • Oven not working

Response time starts the day the Maintenance Request Form is received by the office. Response Times can be impacted by the need to order parts, weather conditions, and/or the priority of other work for your building.

A fee may be charged when a repair is required due to vandalism, improper care of the home, misuse or alterations to the unit.
