There are a few reasons:

• The tenant is the person who lives in the property every day.

• The tenant is the one who must respect the rules, pay on time, and take care of the apartment.

• If only parents are involved in communication, sometimes the tenant is not fully aware of their obligations, which can create misunderstandings later.

We want you, as a tenant, to:

• know exactly what you are agreeing to,

• feel comfortable asking questions,

• understand what is expected regarding payments, cleaning and behaviour.

Parents can still be very involved and supportive – we just want to make sure the adult tenant is also informed and in control.
