RENTAL APPLICATION

Am I expected to carry insurance on my unit even though it is tenanted? Are tenants required to carry insurance?

The building insurance does not cover tenant’s belongings or liability. It is recommended but is not mandatory that tenant’s carry insurance.

What is your screening process when selecting a tenant?

A Balfour Properties Limited application form is filled out by a potential tenant with a credit and previous landlord check being done.

What methods of rent payment does Balfour properties Limited accept?

Balfour Properties accepts cheques, money orders or bank drafts. Once you have signed your lease we take postdated cheques for the duration of your one year lease. We find that after your one year lease where your tenancy then switches to “month to month” that it is easier for the tenant to drop off more postdated cheques for the upcoming months or year.

Can the lease be broken?

All lease agreements are legal contracts and cannot be broken without the consent of both parties involved. Therefore, you cannot break your lease without first consulting Balfour Properties Limited and obtaining our approval.

What do you ask for in regards to Security/Damage deposits?

Balfour Properties Limited holds one half of your first month’s rent for the deposit.
