  2. Room and Board. Similar to having a room in a house except some meals are provided.

  4. Homes for Rent. Usually multiple tenants share the homes. The landlord does not live in the home.

Rental Agreements

An oral tenancy agreement can be legally binding including any agreement about how long you will rent the place. Take a few minutes to sit down and list all the details of the rental agreement, as discussed by you and the landlord. It is recommended that a witness be present when making the agreement. Include the date, time and place where the agreement was made. Have the agreement in writing. For information on your rights as a tenant, please refer to the Tenant Protection Act, 1997 (information available through the Residence Co-ordinator).

 

Additional details to consider

Insurance: Tenant's Liability Insurance covers theft and fire, and can be a great comfort in case of an emergency. Insurance rates vary depending on your coverage requirements.

Telephone: You may wish to arrange for a land line telephone. For more information contact Bell Canada or Shaw Cable.

Utilities: Utilities (heat, electricity, etc.) may be included in your rent or you may have to pay directly. Ask your landlord.
