In the video above there appears to be an altercation between Cielito Lindo Kahano Parone and another tenant. Police were called to the scene after the altercation.
We do not know the full context or exactly why this happened. The tenant has stated that they believe Gus Skarlatakis may have asked his employee to create problems for the tenant so that the tenant would leave and rents could be increased. This is that tenant’s opinion and has not been proven in court.

Some tenants and other individuals have reported that Gus Skarlatakis has asked people to do things they believe are illegal or inappropriate in order to gain an advantage on other properties or to pressure tenants to move out so rents can be increased.
These are allegations based on their personal experiences and communications. Screenshots of a WhatsApp conversation and other testimony are available in a prior post for people to review and make up their own minds. We are sharing what has been reported to us and are not asserting that any crime has been legally established.

A severe incident requiring the involvement of the Toronto Police Service exposed a bizarre contradiction involving Broker of Record Gus Skarlatakis. Video footage and a personal email appear to show Skarlatakis explicitly denying any association with a property’s management, only to be seen days later instructing a worker to force entry without providing legal notice.
The Contradiction: “Not Me”
On Wednesday, October 15, Mr. Skarlatakis, operating under his Crescent Real Estate Inc. brokerage email, sent a firm communication to tenants and agents clearly stating that he was not responsible for the location.
“Please note that CCPM Inc. is the property manager for [Property Address], not me,” the email reads. Gus Skarlatakis went on to thank a recipient for “keeping business and personal separate.”
Below is the email where Gus Skarlatakis informs the tenant he does not work with CCPM inc.
Gus Skarlatakis < [email protected]> Oct 15, 2025, 10:30 AM to Crescent, Agent, me, Minh, [Admin], {Omitted}, James, omar «
{Omitted} and everyone else that {Omitted} wants to write to, please note that CCPM Inc. is the property manager for {Omitted Address}, not me, and CCPM Inc. can be reached at [email protected]. I’ve informed you of this in the past, repeatedly, {Omitted} , thank you for keeping business and personal separate. CCPM Inc. also has a business phone number, should you need it for emergencies, it is 647-946-2265.
James, sorry about all the dramatic emails the last few days. You can call me any time directly, if you wish.

The Attempted Forced Entry and Police Response
Mere days after making this written denial, video evidence allegedly shows Mr. Skarlatakis appearing at the same property and instructing his worker to force entry—an action that is illegal without proper notice or authority.
This specific instruction for unauthorized access directly contradicted his earlier written statement denying any role in the property’s management. Furthermore, Skarlatakis reportedly produced no documentation confirming he was acting on behalf of CCPM Inc., the company he had cited as the legitimate manager.
Due to the attempted forced entry, the suspicious circumstances, and the clear lack of legal authority, the tenants were prompted to call Toronto Police to the scene, resulting in the confrontation documented in the first photograph. The issue remains a dangerous conflict between the Broker of Record’s official statement and his subsequent actions on the property.
