Walco Enterprises Ltd - Saskatoon, Saskatchewan

Linda Y.

I strongly caution anyone considering leasing from Walco Enterprises Ltd., including current or future tenants of 1102 8th Street E.
As a licensed professional running multiple regulated businesses, I was locked out without notice late at night, and the landlord seized everything inside—including sensitive client files, equipment, and personal items. Some items were withheld, damaged, or auctioned with no proper inventory.
They will charge you that you already paid (e.g., for garbage we already paid), removed our owned security system without consent, then billed us for it. Occupancy costs were never reconciled, and important financial records were discarded in trash bins.
The lockout caused serious business disruption, forcing us to move during a snowstorm with no internet or working servers.
If you're a current tenant, keep all communication in writing. This landlord has shown a pattern of altering facts and denying prior agreements.
If you value transparency, professionalism, and legal fairness, think twice before renting from Walco Enterprises Ltd. Tenants deserve better.

Beyond serious issues with how Walco Enterprises Ltd. manages its tenants, the property itself is not well-maintained and the neighborhood is not that safe.
During our tenancy at 1102 8th Street E, there were two break-ins, resulting in the theft of laptops, phones, cameras, drones, and other valuable tools used in our business. My own personal items were also stolen.
We experienced annual spring leaks, and a major flood caused by a plumbing error (from a plumber hired by the landlord) damaged office furniture, floors, ceilings, important files, and data. There was also an incident where someone smashed the office window.
