Halifax
Each unit comes fully-furnished with beautiful pre-selected custom built furniture that was designed with student needs in mind.
We hope you feel as cozy and comfortable as possible in your new home!
All broken furniture should be reported to the Building Management Team for replacement. Accidental damages or bad wear and tear wouldn’t result in a charge, but any breakage at the fault of the tenant could result in replacement fees.
All furniture is designed and produced specifically for our apartments! Each item goes through a Quality Assurance process – with many items being tested in our employees’ homes!
We use fabrics and materials that are designed to last and be environmentally friendly.
Yes! We just ask that you use sticky tack or command strips instead of making holes in the walls. Other than that, you’re more than welcome to bring in your own plants, knick knacks, and other decorative items that don’t require hanging.
Some units are larger than others and can accommodate additional smaller furniture such as seating (armchair, beanbag, floor pillow, etc.).
However, tenants will not have space to store large furniture such as beds, desks, dressers, tables, couches, or appliances.
If you have your own furniture, you’ll need to store it offsite or sell it prior to moving in.
Provided furniture varies depending on building and unit type. Please refer to specific rental listings.
This depends on the role you’re interviewing for… For the most part, we’re looking for people who are passionate about what they do. So whatever that may be, showcase your passion and unique skills during your interview.

Not at all! Renewing now means you can secure your unit at the best price available.
A guarantor or co-signer is the individual who will be responsible for paying your rent in the event that you are unable to.
This role is usually taken on by a parent or guardian, and it acts as a safety net to ensure that your rent is always covered since student life can be tumultuous, and stable, consistent income isn’t always guaranteed as a student.
Your guarantor or co-signer must be able to prove a minimum income of $40k/year. We may request a credit or background check be completed for the guarantor, and all guarantors will be called after signing to confirm their obligations and to receive information on the apartment.
Alternatively, students earning $40k/year themselves may proceed without a guarantor. If this is the case, we may request a credit check instead.

We prefer to rent our units out to students at a college or university within 20km of the building, since each unit has been designed and built to address the day-to-day realities of student life.
Our goal is to cater to students specifically, however it is not mandatory that you be a student in order to rent a unit at SEE-MORE, but rather preferred.
Units will be ready for students to move in as of September 2022, just in time for the next Fall semester!
You can apply to rent a unit any time by completing our apartment application form.

Yes, each tenant in the unit is required to carry their own tenant’s insurance for their own belongings.
Tenant’s insurance covers your personal property inside of the apartment and also provides liability coverage for accidental damages or injuries to guests.
This is required for most rentals to ensure that your belongings are protected! It’s in your best interests to cover yourself in case there’s ever an emergency.
We have professional cleaning staff in our buildings who maintain the common areas and entrances.
When a roommate decides to leave your lease, you and your unit will need to find a new tenant who will take over their space on the lease agreement.

Questions or concerns should be directly to the Building Management Team through our property management software, Buildium.
Buildium hosts all maintenance requests and inquiries and is consistently monitored to ensure you get a response as quickly as possible.

Have you ever bought a car? Maybe not but you probably know that not all Honda Civics are made equal. Our units are kind of like that. Within our 3-bedroom unit options, there are many variations including which floor you’re on, whether you get morning sun or afternoon sun, and the view from your window. For that reason, we added a bit of wiggle room to our pricing so that those who want to save a bit can and those who are willing to spend a little bit more for a better view have the option to do so.
