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, Apollo, by scanning the QR code below:

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:

1. (a) Resident is denied admission to Centennial College
2. (b) Resident is denied study permit/Visa
3. (c) Resident is withdrawn from, or is not enrolled in classes PRIOR to the start of the Residence Agreement with secondary verification of non-enrollment made on the 30th class day of the semester.
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.

There is no payable fee to cancel an Agreement without first meeting one of the above terms and conditions. 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. It is the responsibility of the resident to provide this documentation to Centennial Place staff in a timely manner.
