Yes. It is mandatory that all VIDA tenants have tenant insurance—it is in your best interests to have this! Tenant insurance may cover the cost of damages that you may unintentionally cause to any part of your rental unit, to the building and other units, and for any unintentional harm caused to others who visit the property. This could be millions of dollars. The contents of your home may also be covered. Not having tenant insurance is grounds for eviction.

Yes! We are 100% pet friendly. We provide safe and clean spaces for our residents to call home, where they can share their best moments with their pets and other members of our community. In fact, check out this Facebook post and meet Jade (one of VIDA's most popular residents).

First and foremost, residents need to follow the terms of the lease. 
 
If your lease expired and you wish to move out, please inform your Building Ambassador. Please note that you must give notice IN WRITING at least 3 full months before the move-out date, with a specific date of move-out indicated. If you are unable to contact your Building Ambassador for any reason, please send us an email at feedback@vidaliving.ca.

Once you give at least one month’s notice to your Building Ambassador, they will schedule a move-out inspection and provide you with a list of any items identified during the inspection that must be repaired, cleaned, or replaced to get your damage deposit back.

Based on the results of the final inspection and the condition of your unit on the move-out date, you will be refunded either the full amount or an adjusted amount within 10 days of the unit becoming vacant (except in New Brunswick*).

Damage deposits are returned via e-transfer and will be sent to the email address on file for your unit. If you have not received the full or partial damage deposit in 10 days, or if you are concerned the email address we have on file may be incorrect, please contact your Building Ambassador. 

*In New Brunswick, the residential tenancies rules mean that this process can take up to 20 days.
