Rental rates vary between each building and location. Talk with a VEDA rental agent for more information (rent@vedaliving.ca). Rent is paid on the 1st day of each month. When paid on time, rent includes utilities, unlimited Internet and access to available amenities.

Yes, the price of rent includes a utilities credit of $50. This covers your monthly hydro, water/sewer, gas, water heater rental, furniture and Internet. As stated in our lease if rent is not paid on time a $50 charge will be applied. If you consistently use more than $50/month in utilities, you will be charged the difference. (Note: unless using excessive hydro due to additional appliances, or water due to leaving taps/toilets running without reporting them as a maintenance issue, students very rarely exceed the $50 monthly utilities credit, and are given warnings prior to being charged extra.)

Pets are not allowed at VEDA, as per our lease. Unless they are visiting us from B.A.R.K.

We offer 3-year lease terms with the option to renew or terminate each 12 month term. The minimum lease term is 12 months. If you choose to stay beyond the 12 months, your rental rate will not increase over the 3-year period, a benefit for tenants who choose to live at VEDA for the duration of their university career.
