All apartment leases at most Tribe Management managed buildings including your building contain a clause that require the mandatory purchase of tenant contents insurance.  The reason for the clause is to ensure all residents have adequate protection in the event of theft or damage to their personal property as well as liability insurance to protect resident from legal liabilities and financial obligations associated with all types of personal injury occurring within their leased apartment.

Residents should be aware that Landlords are not liable for any personal belongings in your apartment.  For example, should a flood occur and your belongings become damaged, it is the resident's contents insurance policy that covers the cost to replace or repair any damage to or loss of personal belongings.  In such incidents, the cost to repair any water damage caused by such an oversight would be your responsibility.  You must have adequate insurance to cover such possibilities.  It is extremely important for you to understand that residents shown on the apartment lease are fully responsible for any and all damages caused by themselves as well as other persons occupying the apartment and or any and all quests.

Rent is due and payable on the 1st day of every month, regardless if you moved in on the 7th, 10th, or 15th day of the month, you will notice that your lease starts on the 1st day of a particular month so your rent will always be payable on the first day of the month.

The best method of payment is to provide a void Cheque or Pre-Authorized Debit form (obtained at your bank), the completed Pre-Authorized Debit contract (obtained from building manager or Tribe Management) and we will automatically debit your account on the first banking day of each month.  

Alternatively, we accept personal cheques, posted dated cheques, certified cheque or money order, made payable to the landlord at all our site offices. Please ensure that the address, including building and unit number are included on any form of payment.

When a payment is returned from the bank for reasons such as non-sufficient funds or stop payment, there will be an NSF charge added to your account and is considered a breach of your rental agreement classified as unpaid rent, which could result in termination of tenancy (eviction). That charge, along with the unpaid rental fee will stay on your account until you provide Tribe Management certified funds to cover the outstanding balance. Alternatively, you may send us written authorization through fax, return mail or email to withdraw the outstanding balance from your next pre-authorized payment.

Please contact your building manager and they will arrange to have them sent to you.
