Everything You Need To Know When Renting As A Student Perform a walk through. It’s extremely imperative for you to walk through the apartment and ensure everything is in good working order.

  3. Make a list of relevant questions. The last thing you need as a student in Toronto are unpleasant surprises! In saying that, here are some very important questions to ask your landlord: Are any utilities included in the rent? What exactly is included in the rent? Are pets allowed? What’s the typical monthly cost of the utilities? (Water, heat, electricity, gas) Is there an additional fee for having a pet? Is there air conditioning in the unit? Have there ever been bedbugs? Has there ever been a bug infestation? How much does it cost to use the washing/drying machines? Is there parking? If so, is there an additional cost? Are subleases allowed? Do I need to cover the fees? Can I renew my lease? Will the house be professionally cleaned before the move in date? What does the cleaning include? Do your research. Never forget to research the neighbourhood in order to ensure it’s right for you. Look up the safety of the neighbourhood (view our blog on The best and worst places to rent in Toronto) and what’s around it. Ask yourself; where is the closest mall? Where is the closest library? Where is the closest store? How far is the school from the apartment? Will it be easy for to commute back and forth between classes? Save web pages as PDF manually or automatically with PDFmyURL

  5. Extra Tips For Renting As A Student In Toronto Look into renter’s insurance. Students often overlook this, but it can be very beneficial for you. Renter’s insurance can really come in handy if an unfortunate situation occurs. Take your time to read the lease. Don’t rush to sign! No matter how great the deal is, or how nice the unit is, it’s important for you to take your time to read over every sentence. If there’s something you don’t understand, don’t hesitate to ask the landlord. Don’t sign the lease until you’ve seen the property. This does indeed happen a little too often! Never make a decision based off of photos alone – always visit the property and take your time during the walkthrough. Save web pages as PDF manually or automatically with PDFmyURL

  6. Go with your gut. If you feel a bit off, go with it. If you feel as though the landlord is being untruthful, don’t go ahead with the agreement. You need to feel 100% confident about your new apartment unit. Use your resources. There are many lists online of approved landlords, previous properties students have rented in Toronto and property management companies. Check out your school’s website, as they may have some information available, or visit www.circlapp.com and browse through the long list of landlords and student rental properties. Fill out an evaluation form. You can use an evaluation form to document the current condition of the property. If you see anything that is damaged, take note of it so that you won’t be charged upon moving. Once you have filled out the form, sign and date it – don’t forget to make a copy for your landlord too.
