The student can move in on any date from or after the agreement start date. There are a few steps the student must complete before the move-in date and a few steps to complete after they successfully move in.
Before Moving In
- Start the Tenant Insurance Process (students only): Mandatory for all students with a Homeshare Agreement. Login to SpacesShared and click on Homeshare Agreements on the left menu.
- Upload Proof of Enrolment (students only): Should contain your full name, school name, current date, and show enrollment in a current or upcoming semester. Upload in the Verifications section.
- Complete Background Check: Required for all hosts, adult occupants, and students who have lived in Canada for longer than 6 months. Navigate to Verifications.
After Moving In
- Move-In Survey for the guest: On the move-in date, the student receives a short survey from SpacesShared to confirm their move-in and experience. This is mandatory — it confirms the move-in and initiates the first month's payment.
- Processing the first month payment: SpacesShared manages payments through Interac e-transfer. After the student completes the move-in survey, we initiate the release of the first monthly payment to the host (allow three business days for processing).
- Check-In Email for the host: The host will receive a mandatory survey one week after the move-in date.
- Monthly Check-In: Every month, both host and student will receive a monthly check-in survey. Without your monthly feedback, SpacesShared cannot assist in any challenges that may arise.
