St. Andrew’s

St. Andrew’s Place at 425 Elgin is a 55+ plus independent living housing. Rent is geared to income and that is 30% of their gross monthly income. 

“Monthly rent is based on a percentage of household income (rent-geared-to-income (RGI)). Total monthly payable rent includes your rent plus other applicable fees such as parking or tenant services.The social housing rent-geared-to-income (RGI) rate is 30 per cent of household income for new tenant leases. Effective November 1, 2018 the social housing rent-geared-to-income (RGI) rate is changing to 30 per cent of household income for existing tenant lease renewals.

Existing tenants will receive a renewal notice at least three months before the change is applied. For example, if your annual renewal is February 1, 2019 you will begin contributing 30 per cent of your household income to rent at that time. For applicants receiving Employment and Income Assistance (EIA), rent will continue to be based on shelter allowance (equal to Rent Assist).”

Minimum rent is $285.00 and can reach up to a maximum of $669.00

If an applicant is on EIA, the monthly rent will be calculated $285.00 until the tenant reaches the age of 65. Attached is a copy of a housing application. Upon submission, I do require attaching a copy of their Option C, the most recent one, bank statement if Option C is not available. If an applicant is on EIA or on disability benefits, I prefer the EIA budget letter
