Make a plan
If you’re thinking of living off campus, make a plan for where you would like to live and when you will arrive. Begin your search early so you will have a place to stay at the right time for you.
Consider the following as you make your plans:
- Location. Where you live in relation to campus and other amenities can impact your experience. We recommend looking for housing near bus routes (see codiactranspo.ca for more on public transit in Moncton)
- Move-in dates. Most rental agreements begin on the first day of the month, and this is normally the earliest tenants can move in. It helps to plan your travel with this date in mind, or to arrange for temporary accommodations if necessary.
Consider your budget
When renting a living space, it is important to consider all of the costs associated with it; your monthly rent is only one part of the expense. Other expenses that may need to be part of your budget could include:
- Utilities. Electricity, heating, phone, internet, etc. are rarely included in apartment or house rentals and should be considered in your budget.
- Furniture. Most apartments are unfurnished, so be sure to ask your landlord what furniture and/or appliances are included in the apartment.
