Rental Policies and Procedures

Thank you for your interest in Georgian Green Student Residence.

TERMS OF OCCUPANCY Please note that we do not offer short term housing. We offer fixed term dates that follow the college’s academic calendar. We do not offer month to month rentals. You will note that our start dates and end dates coincide with each semester start and end dates and are not based on 1st to last day of each month. For your convenience, we do split the full term’s fees into equal payments and allow these equal payments to be paid on the first day of each month outside of the initial deposit payments due with your application.

It is understood and agreed that acceptance into Georgian Green constitutes a legally binding rental commitment by the Resident for the full term(s) of occupancy that you choose when you submit your application as indicated below. If a Resident cancels their accepted application before taking occupancy or vacates prior to the completion of the indicated terms of occupancy, the Resident or their guarantor will remain financially responsible for the full fixed term value paid for in equal monthly installments until a new Resident is accepted, has paid their first payment and deposit, and takes occupancy, or the rental term(s) period ends, whichever comes first.

YOUR MOVE IN DATE & TIME WILL BE SCHEDULED by the Administration Office to adhere to COVID Safety Precautions.
