I am Canadian and came down for work. I had clarified with the rental staff at Mansions in the Park that I needed a 6 month lease which was on the site at the time. I was told they could do that with approval. I filled out the form they gave me in the term as 6m-1y. They circled the 1yr and did not tell me that the lease would not be approved for shorter than that. I drove 4000km to get there in the middle of a pandemic expecting to be able to stay somewhere. 1 day before I got there I went to sign the lease and that's when I found out. I will only be there for 8 months and that means I would pay and unbelievable amount of rent I'd I cancelled early. Their buyout, just in case you were wondering, and you should... Is you have to give 2 months notice and then pay one months rent as well for a penalty. So if you have to move out within a month, you pay 3 months of rent. If you work in the energy industry don't bother staying here. We all know how unstable the work periods are. To be told I would also not get back my deposit, after a misunderstanding in communication in the middle of a pandemic is heartless. It really gives you a feel for how these people do business. You make your choice but people will remember how you treated them in this time. I was left with no home. And they knew that.
