- Include a phone number where you may be reached during office hours, which are Monday – Friday, 8:30 am – 4:30 pm; a voicemail if you’re not available during those hours is important.
- If you have been working at your place of employment for six months or less – you need a guarantor.
- If you earn less than 3 times the amount of rent on the suite you are applying for (this includes EIA participants) – you need a guarantor. (Eg. The rent on the suite you are applying for is $700/mth; your income must be at least $2,100 gross, monthly).
