Renter's Insurance
Do I Need Renters Insurance? If so, Why?
As per Section 11 of the Ontario Lease, renters insurance is required. Tricon requires all leaseholders to carry a minimum of $1,000,000 Property Loss and Personal Liability Insurance Coverage, and Tricon must be listed as “additionally insured” on the policy. The amount of protection for a leaseholder’s personal property is up to the leaseholder and provides peace of mind that in the event of an accident, burglary or unforeseen disaster, your personal property will be protected.
Lease Signing
What is a Lease Agreement?
A lease agreement is a legal contract governed by the rules of the Residential Tenancies Act (RTA) that is signed by both the tenant(s) and the landlord. The lease outlines all the rules to which both parties must comply. Make sure you are familiar with yours!
How do I Sign My Lease?
Your lease will be emailed directly to each applicant named on the lease for their signatures. It is important to provide Tricon with an accurate, unique email address for each lessee, as each applicant needs to sign the lease using a separate email address. If you are unable to provide a unique email address for each applicant to submit their electronic signature, please notify your Tricon Leasing Representative so that other arrangements can be made. The lease must be signed by all parties within 48 hours or it will expire, and the suite may be placed back on the rental market.
Move-In Planning
What is a Move-In Inspection?
When you move into your suite, you will complete a suite education session with one of our team members. Together, you will inspect the suite to ensure that everything is up to your standards, and we will familiarize you with the various features of your brand-new home. If there are any maintenance items that need to be completed after the inspection is done, our maintenance team will complete them as soon as possible.
When Should I Contact Movers?
Please ensure that you speak to your Leasing Consultant to schedule your move-in date and time. Once your move-in date is scheduled with the property team, you can schedule the timing with your preferred movers. Please ensure that you ask about special discounts with Tricon-approved movers.
How do I Set Up Utilities?
Tricon residents must enroll with the building's chosen utilities provider and provide management with proof of enrolment prior to moving into their suites. Without proof of enrolment, we will be unable to provide you with the keys to your suite.
How are Utilities Billed?
Tricon Residential residents receive a monthly bill directly from each building's chosen Utilities provider.
