Student Housing in Summerside

Before renting an apartment, you should first understand your accommodation needs, including the area you are renting, the distance and time to and from school, the budget cost, and whether you are sharing an apartment. After deciding on your needs, it is recommended that students spend some time researching the security situation in the area they have chosen. You can visit the relevant local websites to check the safety factor of the area, and if it is an area with a high crime rate, it is best not to choose to live there. When looking at properties, pay attention to the availability of amenities around the community, such as supermarkets, convenience stores, hospitals, pharmacies, restaurants, banks, etc.. You should also pay attention to what living goods are provided by the landlord, whether they can meet your daily needs, and what additional things you need to buy. If you plan to find a roommate to share a room, you must discuss these issues with your roommate in advance to avoid conflicts in the future.

The time to start looking for an apartment varies from school to school depending on local housing habits, market availability, and individual needs. The start time for new students and current students is also different. For new students, you will usually start looking for an apartment after you have received your acceptance letter or have decided to come to the area, usually in April or May. We recommend that you apply and sign up for an apartment after you have officially received your I20 form. A large number of new students come to the Canada. early and see the apartments in the area before deciding to sign up. Older students, i.e. current students, have a more spread out time to find an apartment. Some schools have older students who usually start signing for apartments in the first semester (fall) for the next academic year, but most older students usually start looking for apartments in the spring semester.

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.

Please bring your passport, I-20, payment receipts, credit cards, checks, etc. Please note that the apartment does not take cash.

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.
