  1. Rental Tips for Students

  2. Many students are concerned about living off campus simply because of potential problems. After all, you’ll need to take extra steps to stay safe and avoid disputes with your landlord. However, these are minor challenges to overcome, especially when you consider all the advantages of living in student rentals in Waterloo. In fact, with the right planning, there is no reason you should experience any issues at all.

  3. Avoid Becoming a Target for a Break-In Take measures to prevent your home from becoming appealing to thieves. When you go out, draw the curtains of any windows with a street view or at least keep valuables out of sight. Always confirm that windows and doors are securely fastened — including when you are in the house.

  4. Stay Alert Be on the lookout for anyone in your neighbourhood acting suspiciously. Take extra care when arriving home late in the evening.

  5. Never Hide Keys Leaving a key under the doormat or elsewhere in the entranceway is all but inviting thieves into your home. If you worry about getting locked out, give a spare key to a trusted neighbour.

  6. Prevent Fires Check your smoke alarm on a regular basis. Avoid accidents by never leaving the oven or dryer on when you leave home, even if it’s only for a few minutes. Unplug items like hair straighteners as soon as you’ve finished with them.

  8. Report Maintenance Needs Confirm what your responsibilities are and what are the responsibilities of your landlord by reading your lease. For instance, you may be required to shovel snow and keep the yard in good condition. However, your landlord should carry out repairs to appliances and fixtures. If you need any maintenance, inform your landlord as soon as possible.

  9. Take Out the Garbage It is crucial that you take out the trash regularly. Letting it build up will attract pests ranging from flies to rats, which could cause damage to your unit.

  10. Be Respectful If you are renting a room in your landlord’s apartment, go a step further. Keep common areas clean, avoid making too much noise, and obey the rules of the house.

  11. You can eliminate the headaches that come with renting off-campus University of Waterloo housing by staying in a student rental like King Street Towers. Staff are on call 24 hours a day to resolve any problem you may face, only people who live in the building are allowed to enter unattended, and you have no need to worry about repairs — simply submit a maintenance request for whatever you need.
