Spaces are held on average for a year and a half per tenant. There are 19 spaces, so assume there will be approximately 14 vacancies per year.

One months notice is required from tenants moving out. Upon notification, we will go through the waitlist and contact each person to arrange viewing.

The lease is for 6 months. You may choose to leave before 6 months, but your damage deposit will be forfeit. The initial 6 months is a minimum to make the effort worth while for admin to clean the space, arrange showings, arrange parking passes, program key fobs, set up invoicing, etc. After 6 months, the space becomes a month to month lease.

Tenants will be invoiced on the last day of the month.
Payments must be made via e-transfer.

Receipts will be emailed to tenants within 3 days of payment.

Damage deposit is equivalent to 1 month’s rent. The space is an art studio. If you put some scuffs on the wall, spill a bit of paint, etc. this is expected and acceptable.

Damage deposit will only be forfeit in cases such as, but not exclusive to: breaking lease duration, leaving the space filthy, causing unreasonable damage, using the space for purposes not condoned, causing safety & security concerns, living in the space, etc.

Pets are allowed, however the current tenants have to agree on it. Obviously, we can’t have dogs shaking wet fur off onto people’s paintings. If you keep the pet in your space and it is well behaved, we have never had a problem with it.
