-
What are the postal code prefixes closest
to the University?
The codes closest to Ryerson are: M5B, M5C, M4Y, M5E, M6J, M5T, M4V, M5L, M5H and M5X.
-
What is a lease? How am I bound to it?
A lease is an agreement between you and your landlord that sets
out what conditions there are around you living in the rented
space, how much rent you are paying and how often, and many
other conditions. If you have more questions about leases you
can pick up the "sample lease" form available in our office.
-
What do I need to secure an apartment?
You will need to provide proof of employment and possibly the
following: personal references, the payment amount specified
(most usually in the form of a certified cheque or money order),
credit references, contacts of previous landlords and contacts
of present or past employment. If your new landlord does not
feel that you make enough money to pay rent, you will be asked
to provide a guarantor. This is someone who will sign the lease
for you and be responsible for any payments you fail to make,
such as a parent or guardian.
-
What kind of payment is my landlord allowed
to take from me?
Your landlord is only allowed to take first and last months
rent. They are not allowed to take a security deposit on top
of this amount.
-
Can I take my pets with me?
If you are renting someone's house, they can legally refuse
you pets. If you are renting in an apartment building, some
leases will come with a NO PETS clause. However, this is not
legally binding (so you can have pets) unless your pets become
a problem to the building (such as loud barking, attacking other
tenants or unpleasant smells)
-
How do I find a roommate to live with?
If you are interested in finding a roommate that goes to Ryerson,
you can submit a profile or come down to our office and browse
profiles of others looking for roommates.
-
What do the different types of accommodation
listed mean?
Sublet - A rental unit up for rent for a short period
of time where you take over a lease for someone else.
Shared accommodation - A room for rent in someone else's
rented space. You will probably be sharing a kitchen and bathroom

2 Bedroom - An apartment with 2 rooms for sleeping,

-
What kinds of residence style accommodations
are available?
INDEPENDENT RESIDENCES:
Independent residences are run similarly to university or college
dormitories. This is an option you might want to consider if
apartment-style accommodation does not appeal to you. These
residences are operated independently of Ryerson University
and cannot be endorsed by Ryerson. They are located close to
the campus. Rates are approximate and cannot be guaranteed.
Rentals of 30 days or more are GST exempt.
** Please note traditional dormitory-style residences offer
either single or double rooms with shared bathrooms and other
common rooms.
