Question 1

WHEN CAN I MOVE IN?

Accepted Answer

Move-ins are permitted once the full damage deposit and your first month's rent has been paid and the lease has been signed by all parties. Following that, your property manager will provide you with a date and time of move-in. Red Sands typically conducts move-ins after 4pm to allow staff the chance to clean and sanitize your unit.

Question 2

WILL I NEED TENANT INSURANCE?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you will need to provide a proof of tenant insurance before moving into your unit. We recommend Cooke Insurance (https://cooke.ca/personal-insurance/property-insurance/tenant-insurance/)or PEI Mutual. (https://peimutual.com/contact/)Please see the tenant resources page for information on where you can obtain tenant insurance.

Question 3

WHEN DO I NEED TO GIVE NOTICE TO MOVE OUT?

Accepted Answer

If you are on a month-to-month lease or fixed-term lease that is set to expire, you must give a minimum 30-day written notice to your property manager. Failure to do so will result in a partial or full forfeiture your damage deposit. If you need to break a fixed-term lease you could be responsible to pay the remainder of the rent balance.
