When I rent an apartment in Ottawa, can I get out of the lease at any time after signing it?

Generally speaking, once a lease is signed, it is effective immediately and cannot be terminated early by either party to the lease. Under Canada law, if a tenant signs a long-term lease, they are responsible for the rent for the entire term of the lease, and the landlord has the right to require the tenant to pay all the rent even if they move out.

Can I come to Ottawa and see the apartment before I decide to sign?

Yes, we encourage students to see the apartment in person before deciding to sign up, so they can get a more direct feel for the apartment. However, we have to admit that many students want to move in right away when they arrive in the Canada. Also, the closer to the start of the school year, the higher the price and the fewer good apartments there are. Therefore, students should decide when to sign up according to their actual situation.

What documents and papers are generally required for Ottawa student housing application?

Student housing will conduct a thorough background check, such as a financial check, criminal record check, etc. Therefore, the apartments require the following: a Canada Social Security Number (SSN), which is similar to a domestic ID number, to check your financial status. Canada driver's license number. Sponsor in the Canada (sponsor must also have SSN): Further assurance that the applicant can afford to pay rent. However, international students usually without all three of these documents. Most apartments allow international students to use other documents instead: I-20, Copy of passport or Visiting Scholar Visa form

When should I start looking for student housing in Ottawa?

Start in January, and if you see a suitable property during that time, just apply as soon as possible; if you don't find a suitable property, you can wait. But if it's May or June, do it as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the less cost effective housing becomes available, and after August, the options become scarce.

What issues must I be aware of when subletting in Ottawa?

It is advisable to confirm with the second tenant and the apartment that you have completed the necessary procedures for subletting and that you are no longer legally responsible for the previous contract. If you are subletting privately, you should be aware that 1) these are private actions that have no legal effect and 2) the apartment may hold you liable if you are found to be subletting. Given the risks associated with private subletting, it is important that you negotiate with your tenant in advance to protect your interests.

I booked an apartment, but it didn't meet my expectations when I arrived. What should I do?

Please get in touch with the apartment management office directly, tell them what is not in line with your expectations, and coordinate with the apartment. If there is no room to change the lease and you do not want to break it, the best thing to do is to sublet the apartment to someone else. We strongly discourage moving out of an apartment without communication. In the Canada, once you sign the contract, you will be liable for a high amount of liquidated damages if you do not move in or move out.
