Landlords

Unless the unit you are renting is shared accommodation - such as bathroom, living room or cooking facilities - you cannot specify gender or race in your advertisement. Please see the BC Human Rights Coalition or Residential Tenancy Act for further details.

To submit a listing on the website you need to:

1. Register a New User Account. This only needs to be done the first time you use our system. Make sure to record your Username and Password for future use.
   • If you already have an account log into the system and follow the steps.
2. Create a listing for the property you want to advertise.
3. Pay $10.00 for each property you want to advertise. Listings will be activated for 15 days once payment is received.
   • You can pay in person at the Housing Office or call 721-8395 to pay with a Visa or Master Card.
4. Once payment has been received your ad will be activated between 8:30am and 4:30pm Monday to Friday.

NOTE: To place an ad in both Faculty and Student listings you need to create 2 separate listings (Step 2). i.e. It will cost you $20.00 to list a property that is rentable to both Faculty and Students.

Tenants

Our listing service operates like a classified ad section in a newspaper.

• We do not inspect units listed on our web site or interview landlords.
• We strongly recommend that students view the accommodation they are interested in and meet the perspective landlord before they make any form of payment to secure the facilities.

While apartments and self contained suites fall under the Residential Tenancy Act guidelines, room, room and board, and shared accommodations are not protected by the Act. Issues surrounding damage deposits, use of facilities etc. should be discussed with the landlord and, wherever possible, written in the form of an Agreement.

To assist you with your search you may want to print off our Off Campus Housing Comparison form to help you prioritize and organize information between the properties you contact.

House Exchange

In this category you will find listings of families who are willing to exchange their home for yours for a specific period of time. Please note HFCS does not inspect units or interview exchange participants.

To submit a house exchange listing you need to:

1. Register a New User Account. This needs to be done the first time you use our system. Make sure to record your Username and Password for future use.
   • If you already have an account log into the system and follow the steps.
2. Create a listing for the property you want to advertise. Include as many details and pictures as possible.
3. Pay $25.00 to the HFCS Housing Office to activate your listing for 180 days.
