Move In FAQs

When can we move in? Can we move in early?

Your move-in date is printed clearly on the front page of your lease. We have many units to prepare for move in during the middle of May and June so moving in early is usually not an option. However, in certain unusual circumstances it may be allowed.

Are the houses furnished?

No.

Where do we put our garbage and recycling? What day is collection?

Garbage and recycling bins are provided at each house and should be placed at the curb the night before pick up.

Pick up days are:
Sanford Street - Thursday
Post Avenue - Friday
Alfred Avenue - Tuesday
Names Road - Tuesday

Bins must be brought back up to the house within 24 hours of pick up. Fines can be assessed if this is not adhered to. Any fines become the responsibility of the tenants

Are pets allowed?

No.
