What is a Guarantor?

KG Group requires all residents to have Tenant Insurance. Proof of Tenant Insurance is required before you can move in.

For any utilities not included in your rent, please pay directly to the utility provider. Please contact the utility provider for any additional assistance.

Questions about Moving Day

What is the move in process? Where does the moving truck go?

When you become a new resident of a KG Group community, you will receive a helpful “Welcome to KG Group Email” from the Property Administrator before your lease start date. This email will guide you through the move-in process and provide essential information such as the contact details of the Property Administrator, who coordinates key pick-up times and building policies about keys. You will also receive step-by-step instructions to set up the online Resident Portal, where you can reserve the moving elevator. The email will also mention the designated area for parking your moving truck on your move-in day and provide general details about parking and lockers, if applicable. At KG Group, we strive to ensure a smooth and stress-free move-in experience for you.

How do I book the elevator?

At KG Group communities, you can conveniently reserve the elevator online through our  Resident Portal. With just a few clicks, you can schedule elevator access according to  your move-in or move-out dates, making the process as smooth and efficient as possible.

What are the internet options and packages offered through the building? Do I have to be with a specific provider?

KG Group rental apartments are wire-care ready, meaning you will have easy access to  internet and cable services when you move in. Our primary providers are Rogers and  Bell, who occasionally host events to advertise their latest promotions for new residents. However, you are not obligated to use any specific provider in any of our KG Group communities. With wire-care ready apartments, you can choose the provider that  best suits your needs and preferences.

You can pay this deposit in multiple ways, including online through the Resident Portal, in-person with a Debit Card payment at the Front Desk, or with a Bank Draft, Money Order, or Certified Cheque. With these flexible payment options, we make it easy and convenient for you to complete your rent deposit in a way that works best for you.

When is my rent payment due?

All rents are always due on the first (1st) day of each month.

What if I pay my rent late?

Late rent payment is considered a breach of your Lease Agreement. If your rent is not received on the first (1st) day of the month, you will receive a courtesy reminder notice that your rent payment is outstanding. If your rent payment is still not received, you will be served with a legal notice that may lead to eviction.

Questions about my lease and moving out

What happens at the end of our lease term?

At the end of your lease term, you have the option to renew your lease, go month-to-month, or terminate your lease. You will receive a notice 90 days in advance outlining these three options. If you choose to terminate your lease, you must give 60 days written notice from the first ( 1st ) day of the month.

What is required on my part if I want to move out?

To terminate your tenancy, you must submit a completed N9 Form – Notice to Terminate Tenancy Form by the end of business hours on the first day of the month. All leaseholder(s) and/or guarantor's names and signatures are required on the form with the correct dates, and the last date of occupancy must be the last day of the following month. This form is considered your 60 days written notice and must be submitted from the first (1st ) day of the month.

How many days in advance do I have to give notice to vacate?

Residents are required to give 60 days written notice to vacate from the first (1st ) day of the month.

How can I add another person onto the Tenancy Agreement at a later date?

If you want to add an additional leaseholder to your Tenancy Agreement with KG Group, they must go through the same process as the original leaseholder. This includes applying for the apartment and submitting all required documentation, such as Government-issued photo ID, Verification of Income, Bank Form, or Bank Statements, completed KG Group Rental Application, Landlord Reference, and Work Permit (if required). There is also a $250 administration fee for processing and adding an additional leaseholder. If Head Office approves the application, your Leasing Consultant will execute a new Lease Amending Agreement with the additional leaseholder which must be signed by all parties.

What if I want to end my lease early?

At KG Group, we understand that there may be life changes and situations that require you to leave your rental apartment early however, you will be held responsible and accountable for the remainder of your lease term. You can make a request to re-rent your suite early (conditions may apply) or you also have the option of a lease assignment or a sublet. Please contact your KG Group Leasing Consultant for more information and to discuss further. 

What do I have to do in my apartment before I move out and drop off keys?

As a tenant, it is your responsibility to maintain and return the apartment in the same condition as when you moved in. You will be charged back for any significant damages resulting from your residency.
