Not much you can do to control the quality of residents, especially when I think many units in the Met are probably rental properties. My strata has a strict no rental rule, it hurts resale, but with us being the ones actually living here it makes a much cleaner and easier to deal with population.

Depends on who rents it. If it is most Chinese or Chinese international students then yea (this might sound harsh but this is true at least to my experience).
When I was looking to purchase a unit several of the units I went to were literally ruin/destroy by the tenants which also happen to Chinese students. I guess coz when they were in China Mom and Dad cleans after them and do all the house work. Now they are alone they don't really do them. One unit the washroom smell so bad even with the doors close, it have moles growing in the washrooms and shit/blood stains on the toilet seats. The kitchen is full of bags of garbage with juice coming out. The stove and the kitchen wall is cover with thick really burn grease. Literally some of the hardwood floor have dog pee/poo stains on them. Even agent said most likely everything needs to be replace to be livable again. Yet there are 2 Chinese international students living there with their dog.
Another one I went to is around Joyce area. When you enter the lobby I saw a guy (most like mid 20s) with a bag or chinese take out sauce dripping all over the lobby and into the elevator. He didn't even try to clean it up, just contiune to play on his phone.
One of our old tenants gf/bf studying at BCIT. They ever bother to vacum at all. When they left we had to throw away the bed/mattress we let them use. It was cover this mud/blood stains. Smell like shit I guess coz there are blood stains all over.
I never know people can actually live like this. I mean I am a pretty messy person and lazy person but god I would never fall to that level. I think one common feeling Chinese have is that since it is not their they just don't care. They didn't pay for it so why take such good care. If it is broken/ruin they aren't going to fix it. Also they aren't taught the basics common sense after they left home so they don't really know what to expect.
