FAQ

Centennial Place accepts applications to Residence year-round, however, the time of year may dictate what lease period or duration is currently available. Rooms are allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis. An application does not guarantee you a space. To guarantee your space, you must submit your signed and completed Residence Agreement to the Centennial Place Office, make your first installment payment, and receive confirmation of your space from our office prior to moving in.

You can email or call the Centennial Place Office to request confirmation of your received application and/or signed Residence Agreement by calling 416-438-2216 or via centennialresidence@studenthousing.com.

Click here to make a payment to Centennial Place. We accept a variety of payment methods including all major credit cards, debit, or certified cheque/money order.

If you are renewing your current residence agreement, the $100 application fee is waived and the security deposit is transferrable to your new residence agreement.

Centennial Place accepts month-to-month installments broken down into even payments for residents based on the duration of their Agreement. For example, if a resident has leased for a duration of eight (8) months, the total cost of their Agreement is broken into eight (8) equal payments, due on the first of each month during their stay.
Some Agreements may begin or end mid-month, and so additional pro-rated installment(s) of a higher or lesser amount may be added to the first or last installment payment on your Residence Agreement.

Follow the instructions on our website to make a payment online.

Contact the Bookkeeper through the Centennial Place contact information provided on the website and provide explanation for the delay along with the supporting documentation. Although the outcome of a request for extension is not guaranteed, it will be considered in a fair manner as long as there is reasonable justification for the extension.

Your first installment will be due on the 1st of the Month you are moving into Residence. For example, if you are moving into Centennial Place in August, your first payment is due August 1st. If you are moving into Centennial Place in May, your first payment is due May 1st.

All residents, including those receiving OSAP assistance, are required to make the equivalent of at least one (1) months payment prior to picking up keys on Move-In Day. Students requesting a delayed second payment until their OSAP is released, may submit in writing to the Bookkeeper their requested payment date. All requests for extended deadlines of payment require supporting documentation from a recognized source indicating the date their funds are expected to be released.

Personal Property Insurance (sometimes referred to as “Renters’ Insurance”) can protect your valuables, such as laptops or expensive textbooks from theft or damage, providing you with peace of mind that you’re covered if something happens. Policies usually cover break-ins, floods, fires, and compensate you with an amount to repurchase or repair your property. If you leave the stove on and accidentally start a fire or leave the water running and damage the floors and walls, you could be liable. If you don’t have insurance to protect yourself, you may end up with a massive bill to foot. Various situations could make your residence uninhabitable. A fire could happen in your building, or a burst pipe could leak everywhere. Insurance can help cover any additional living expenses in an emergency. Personal Property Insurance is required to live at Centennial Place. Consider purchasing a discounted Policy for students using our partner, Summit Insurance.

Section 7: RELEASES FROM AGREEMENT. All requests for early release must be made in writing to the Manager and request for release will be responded to in writing within 7 business days of receipt. Resident will be released from the Residence Agreement subject to applicable penalties if one of the following applies:

4. (d) Resident is able to obtain a replacement for their lease who meets all requirements set out in Paragraph 1 and who has not previously applied to live at Centennial Place. Manager must approve all lease replacements.

If approved, upon termination of this Agreement, the Resident may be entitled to a partial refund of the residence fees, without interest. The refund will be in the form of a cheque mailed to the Resident’s permanent address on file. Refunds will be calculated on a pro-rated daily basis if the Agreement term has already begun. All cancellations will be charged an administrative fee equal to their Security Deposit. Residents who do not meet one of the above criteria for release are held responsible for their Agreement until such a time that they satisfy one of the criteria for release.

If during the term of this Residence Agreement a resident no longer meets the eligibility requirements set out in Paragraph 1 by withdrawing (both voluntarily or involuntarily) they will be required to vacate their assigned room immediately. This does not limit or reduce resident’s financial obligations as outlined on Page 1 of the Residence Agreement until such a time that they satisfy one of the criteria for release.

Residents moving out of Centennial Place prior to the end of their Agreement duration will be held to their payments unless they can provide official documentation illustrating the above conditions have been met.
