How to Apply for a Suite

Your application may be submitted in the following ways:

  • By applying online through this website
  • By email to: leasing@sussexrealty.ca
  • By leaving a completed application with the resident manager
  • By leaving a completed application at our head office located at 274 Osborne St. North, just south of the Winnipeg Art Gallery

No security deposit is required during the application phase. A deposit will need to be paid once the application is approved before entering into the tenancy agreement.

In Manitoba, security deposit is one half the first month’s rent. In payment of this rental deposit – we accept cheques, money orders or e-transfer via deposit@sussexrealty.ca.

Please NOTE:  All forms of payment must include the name of the applicant and the full address for which you have been approved for.

Once we have received your application and supporting documents, it will take 24-72 hours to process and make a decision on the application. You will be notified once a final decision has been made on the application.

Hints for a Quick Response on Rental Applications

  • A letter of Confirmation of Employment may be submitted with the application & must include the following:
  • MUST be on company letterhead
  • MUST be dated
  • MUST include the gross monthly income or hourly wage and amount of hours guaranteed per week
  • MUST be signed by a company manager
  • The appropriate forms may be completed with your current landlord. This will allow us to receive a rental reference by telephone or fax, or to ask for a written rental reference from your current landlord. This, then may be submitted with your application.
  • Fill out all applicable information on the application form and ensure you’ve signed the application form, which allows us to conduct a personal investigation.
  • 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 $400/mth; your income must be at least $1,200 gross, monthly).
