          including the electrical room.
   •      The tenant agrees to insure the property and operations of the tenant, including insurance for fire and such additional perils
          as are normally insured against, liability insurance, and other insurance as may be reasonably required by landlord for the
          building areas occupied by the tenant.
   •      The tenant shall keep premises in a good state of repair during the tenancy and shall comply with any enactment respecting
          standards of health and safety.
   •      The tenant shall pay all normal costs and maintenance costs associated with the delivery of water and sewer services to the
          building.

Westside Mini Storage (WSM) has only recently brought its storage rents to market
level. WSM was managed by the owner’s wife (Susan Andrews). Susan took a non-
arm’s length salary ($3,559.50/month) thus above market for a storage facility.
Dominik (647-379-8174) can manage the facility remotely putting in 4-5 hrs.
per/week.
Westside Mini Storage Inc will allow due diligence process through our revenue
software system and company bank statements upon request (as of June 1, 2021).
The facility is debt free, and we expect to carry the month of June with at market
rents into the future. This can provide any owner of $17-18K of net cash flow.

Hi Tom,
As I ease away from working with Westside Minis, I want to write you this
quick note to let you know how much I’ve appreciated working with you and
enjoyed my time at Westside over the last several years.
Frankly, I doubt anyone thinks, “When I grow up, I want to manage a mini-
storage facility”, but the truth is that a lot of Life happens around mini-
storage. People’s lives are in transition and customers can be stressed.
As you know, my background is in Psychology and Education and it felt
meaningful to still be able to help people, albeit in a small way, with easing
their transitions by providing a quality service to the local community. That
helped me feel my work was worthwhile.
I’ve worked for almost 40 years now, sometimes two or three jobs at a time,
and I’m ready to do new things: learn a few new skills, work on the farm,
volunteer, do a little yoga, breed Irish Wolfhounds, and have time to be
kind.
I leave you in very good hands: Krystal Phillips is exactly who I would have
chosen to take over the management of Westside. I’ve had the privilege of
working with Krystal in various capacities for the last year and I can’t
recommend her highly enough. She is keen and smart and kind.
Krystal has a wonderful, caring way with the customers, a warm and
professional telephone manner, and dives right into a problem seeking a
solution. Krystal even managed our first online auction for a delinquent unit
last week: from speaking with the website operators, cutting the unit lock,
taking and posting the pics, overseeing the bids, collecting the payment
from the bid winner, providing access to the unit, and ensuring the unit was
clean and ready to be rented again. The arrears on the unit were under
$600 and the unit sold for $5220.
I feel good leaving, knowing that Krystal will be there.
I’m sure we’ll connect again in the future, Tom, so in closing, simply:
thanks for the opportunity!
Kind regards,
Susan

Management Letter – WESTSIDE MINI STORAGE INC.                                      June 28th, 2021

To whom it may concern,

I confirm my recent and ongoing assistance to Martin Halliwell, P Eng., with the management of
Westside Minis Inc. This includes addressing any emails and answering all calls through our
company phone line.

To begin with, the facility has always had very happy customers from years of ownership taking
care of all their storage needs, with the now retired Susan Andrews being the longest tenured
manager. Since we are open 24/7, customers have immediate access to their units whenever
needed.

While we are not the most expensive facility, the buildings are still in essentially ‘new’ condition
with state-of-the-art features. Built in 2004 by Monster Minis Inc, recent additions include
interior and exterior lighting upgrades that help with security, along with new cameras that
would allow any new owner to view the entire facility remotely.

In terms of management, the operational set-up makes my job very straight forward. When a
new rental request occurs, I provide the pricing and contract details over the phone and if
necessary, meet the customer to show them the facility. If they decide to rent a unit, the
customer is then given a unique code to open the front gate, and their contract is set up using
our online software (WebSelfStorage). When a tenant decides to move out, I close the account
through our software with their credit card information immediately being deleted.

We are now almost at full capacity, with 90% occupancy and a recent increase in online
advertising through Google ads.

As the manager, Martin pays me $200 weekly in cash to help with any ongoing operations.

Location, honest dealings, and attractive rental terms make my job easy.
