Find the right neighborhood

When going for a vacation to a city you are not very familiar with, considering the security of the area should be a priority. In this case, you should go around Hamilton and search for the most ideal neighborhood. To make your work easier, you can go through ‘district guides’ offered by rental agencies on their blogs. These guides will give you a better understanding of the neighborhood you are about to move into.

Facilities and amenities

When looking for an apartment in Hamilton, there’s no doubt that you already have your needs and want a building that will meet them. For instance, you may get an apartment located in the best place of the city and offers a great size for your needs. However, the house may be located on the 3rd floor and with no elevator. This may not work for some home seekers. So checking the facility before booking is essential.

You should also consider the amenities. For instance, if you prefer a home cooked meal, make sure the house has a kitchen and it should have everything you’ll need to prepare a meal. Also remember to check the capacity and the rooms should have everything you paid for.

Reviews

Review websites are very useful especially when you want to check what other tenants had to say about the apartment you are interested in. There are also other apartment agencies who list customer ratings and comments about apartments on their websites. So before making the final decision, make sure to check out the reviews.

Go through the Small Print

The FAQ and Terms and Conditions pages will greatly help you know more about your potential home before you move in. This will also help you understand the entire rental process from booking to checking out. It is important to be aware of how the company works and what is expected of you as a new client. This is just to help you not be on the wrong side of the agreement.

“Ever since we took over the Fortress Mountain Resort, our lodge renovations should have been approved to be worked on as an existing building, government officials did not respect that portion of the code” and continues “The Alberta Building Code 1997, section 1.1.2.2 states that existing buildings fully comply to ABC97 if they are not found to be unsafe. Our lodge has never been declared unsafe and two independent architectural firms found it needing only repairs and regular renovations”

With a replacement value of the lodge reaching $9,000,000 has decided to put off repairs to the lodge, subject to negotiations with The Fire Commissioners office over variances and the application of the ABC97 Code to the building and legal opinions of governing bodies.
