UW has organized a meeting because apparently a great number of students who were supposed to be moving in tomorrow have been told that the building won't be ready. Tenants on the reddit thread mentioned that Schembri was refusing to refund deposits and was offering to relocate tenants to a hotel, but nothing has been finalized, even though move-in is just hours away. Not to mention Schembri's lack of professionalism, claiming that leases weren't finalized, and demanding authors of public Facebook discussions be deleted.
I've heard of a few tenants being unable to move in to a rental before, but never a clusterduck of this magnitude.
What a disaster. Anyone here sign a lease at 1 Columbia?

It's on my list of things to do. I'm going to try to get that put out sometime today.
