The application process takes between 2-3 business days. 

Upon approval, a move in date is scheduled, provide you with keys, organise a tour of the building and its amenities, and go through any remaining information you might need to move into your new home.

Convenience is key! We offer multiple options for you to pay your rent. We accept post-dated cheques, money orders, certified cheques, cash, and e-transfers. You may want to speak with your Property Manager or our Support Office Payments team for more information.

All rental payments, including parking, are due on or before the first day of each month.

Utility inclusions differ across properties. The Leasing Coordinator will discuss which utilities are included for perspective properties. Heating and water are included. Some of our properties also include hydro electricity.

Parking is available at all our apartment buildings.

The price for parking varies across buildings and whether it is indoor or outdoor. Our Leasing Coordinator will provide details for you on parking availability at the building of your interest, as well as pricing details.

We highly recommend residents take out renters’ insurance including Content Insurance for personal belongings, as Orchard Apartments does not cover this. Getting covered is simple and easy, can cost as little per month as a few cups of coffee, and insurers will build a policy that best suits your needs and budget.

We are happy to help. Please contact your Property Manager by telephone or drop a written letter into the communication box located at your building.
