    The essentials

    Your tenant handbook

    The whole thing, in pictures — not nine pages of fine print. Tap “Download handbook” at the bottom for a clean PDF.

    Know your home — find these on move-in day

    Breaker panelReset: flip fully OFF, then ON

    Main water shut-offUsually near the front foundation wall

    Outside tap shut-offDrain it before the first freeze

    Smoke + CO detectorsTest monthly; tell us if one chirps

    GFCI outletsKitchen/bath — reset the popped button

    Moving in

    • Tenant insurance is required — send us your provider & policy # before move-in, and keep it active all tenancy
    • Plus-utilities? Set up gas / hydro / water in your name
    • Do the move-in inspection — note anything already worn so you’re never charged for it later

    Paying rent

    • Due the 1st of every month — weekends & holidays included
    • Receipts any time — just ask
    • Tight one month? Tell us before the 1st — we’d rather plan than chase
    e-Transfer to rent@catanateam.ca — please turn off the security question if you can (auto-deposit), and put your unit in the message.

    Repairs & maintenance

    • Submit a request — be specific & add photos, it speeds things up
    • Your part: light bulbs · furnace filter every 3 mo · dryer lint trap · softener salt
    • We handle everything else
    • If it’s your damage or you decline entry, the call may be charged

    House rules

    • Parking — your assigned spot; plate on file
    • Smoking — check your lease’s smoking policy before lighting up anywhere
    • Pets — check your lease’s pet policy first
    • Keep noise reasonable; garbage out the night before pickup

    Seasons

    • Winter: keep heat at a safe level so pipes don’t freeze
    • Clear & salt snow where your lease says it’s yours
    • Drain outside taps before the freeze
    • Storms: please limit requests to real safety issues

    Moving out

    • 60 days’ written notice (or an N9) by the 1st
    • Leave it clean — we’ll share a simple checklist
    • Return all keys, labelled
    • We do a move-out inspection — no surprises on your deposit

    Living in a condo or strata?

    Then the condo corporation’s own rules apply too — noise, pets, parking, garbage, common areas, and booking the elevator for move-in. If your home is a condo, we’ll include the building’s rules with your welcome email so you have them from day one.

    When something’s wrong

    Emergency, or not?

    If life or safety is at risk, call 911 first — then call us. Otherwise, here’s the quick rule.

    • Gas smell · fire · sewage backup
    • Total loss of power · lockout
