    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 — it deposits automatically (your bank shows CATANA PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COR). Put your unit in the message. Step-by-step help for your bank: catanateam.ca/pay-rent

    Repairs & maintenance

    • Use the repair form and add photos, or text them to (226) 507-2118
    • Your part: light bulbs · furnace filter every 3 mo · dryer lint trap · softener salt
    • We reply within one business day and book the right trade
    • We give 24 hours’ written notice before anyone enters, unless it’s an emergency
    • Damage you or your guests cause, or a missed visit you confirmed, 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

    • At least 60 days’ notice on Form N9, ending on the last day of a rental month (not before a fixed term ends)
    • Leave it clean — we’ll share a simple checklist
    • Return all keys, labelled
    • We walk through the unit with you. Normal wear and tear is never charged

    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.

    Call us now

    Urgent — phone us day or night:
    • Flooding · burst or frozen pipe
    • No heat in cold weather
    • Sewage backup · gas smell (get out first, then call 911 from outside)
    • No power to the whole unit · lockout

    (226) 507-2118

    Not urgent — send a request

    Send a request. We reply within one business day:
    • AC out · appliance not working
    • One outlet or breaker (reset it first)
    • Dripping tap · annoying noise
