How long does it take?
Wait times
- Standard wait times are around 1.5 years, but it can vary based on what kind of transfer you are looking for (sometimes large one bedrooms are highly requested, sometimes two bedrooms), the timing (summers are already booked up with moves, so transfers do not happen August or September), and how many units are opening up at a time.
What happens after I’ve been offered an apartment?
- You’ll get to see the unit that has opened up for you. If you don’t like it, you will be put back on the waiting list.
