Question 3

When do I usually start applying for rentals to study in Winnipeg?

Accepted Answer

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 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.

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

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 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.
