Tenancy Handbook EBOOK

PETS

If you wish to keep a pet in your apartment, please inform your portfolio manager. You will need to complete a Form 25 Pet Request, provided by the government, which will be submitted to the landlord for approval. The landlord is required to respond within 14 days. While landlords cannot unreasonably decline a pet request, they may impose conditions or, with commissioner approval, deny the request in certain cases. Please note that the apartment is subject to Strata By-Laws, which may restrict the type and number of pets allowed, or even prohibit pets from residing in the building.

HOME IMPROVEMENTS

It's important that your apartment feels like home, and you may want to make minor alterations, such as installing picture hooks or shelving. To do so, you can submit a written request to your Investment Portfolio Manager, completing the Government's Form 26 Minor Modification Request. The landlord is required to respond within 14 days. While landlords cannot unreasonably deny minor modifications, they may refuse the request in certain cases with commissioner approval. At the end of your tenancy, you will need to restore the apartment to its original condition at your own expense unless the landlord agrees to keep the modifications.
