What are the requirements for a rental application?

We will need to check your credit, proof of employment or income and references. Applicants must provide a combined income of approximately 3x the rent. Credit scores are required of at least 600 with little to no collections, judgements, etc. on file.

A pet photo is also required if applying with a pet.

For New to Canada renters that do not yet have established credit we require 6 months worth of rent and the deposit up front.

Is parking included?

Parking is determined by the home that you are renting.

Upper townhome and duplex rental units have access to a double deatched garage. 

Units without assigned parking will only have street parking available. Our rental locations are close to green space areas so there is always ample parking nearby.

Do I have to take care of lawn maintenance and snow removal?

In order to keep our rental operational costs as low as possible we require tenants to care for the exterior lawn and walkway all year round. 
This includes weed removal, lawn mowing, snow shovelling and adding gravel or sand on icy walks to ensure safety and to avoid any additional charges.

More information can be found in the current lease agreement. 

How many people can live in a home or suite?

We follow all housing and healthing standards as set by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, Government of Alberta and City of Edmonton to ensure there is acceptable required sleeping space for all occupants. This unfortunately may not be a fit for multiple families or larger families for the size of our rental properties.

Under the Standard, suitable housing is based on the following criteria:

  • A maximum of 2 persons per bedroom.
  • Household members, of any age, living as part of a married or common-law couple share a bedroom with their spouse or common-law partner.
  • Lone parents, of any age, have a separate bedroom from their children.
  • Household members aged 18 or over have a separate bedroom, except those living as part of a married or common-law couple.
  • Household members under 18 years of age of the same sex may share a bedroom, except lone parents and those living as part of a married or common-law couple.
  • Household members under 5 years of age of the opposite sex may share a bedroom if doing so would reduce the number of required bedrooms. This situation would arise only in households with an odd number of males under 18, and odd number of females under 18 and at least one female and one male under the age of 5.

An exception to the above is a household consisting of 1 individual living alone who may live in a studio apartment with no separate bedroom.

Please check your lease agreement or leasing agent to confirm the acceptable number of people allowed in your rental home. 

Do you offer short term rentals?

Not at this time. We are currently only offering 12 month rental agreements. We want our tenants to feel like our properties are your home for the long term. 

What is the security deposit?

The security deposit is equal to one month rent.
