What to Look?
What do I look for?
The most important things to look for when trying to fid a house/apartment are:
- Type: What type of a rental unit is it?
- Location: How far away from MUN is it?
- Cost: How much will it cost?
Type:
In Canada you can rent accommodations
in two ways. You could rent from a real estate investment company
such as Northern
Properties and Martek, or you could rent from landlords who may rent
a part or the whole of their house. There are several types of
rental units on offer and they vary in size and type.
Apartments:
A
rental space in either a building, or in someone's house. These are
ideal for people who do not want to share space with a
roommate.
House (Detached):
This is a house that is not connected or attached to any other
buildings. These rental units are ideal for a group of three or
more.
House (Semi-Detached):
This is a house that is attached to another house. These types of
houses can usually be seen downtown.
Rooms:
Rooms usually mean that they are bedrooms or living areas within
another house. These are sometimes called a homestay.
