WHEN WILL I BE OFFERED AN APARTMENT?

Housing is offered based on a variety of criteria, so it is impossible to predict how quickly an apartment will become available. Availability is based on the number of suite turnovers and the needs of the applicants applying for housing.

HOW MUCH WILL I PAY?

The New Vista Society operates rent-geared-to-income units. The amount of rent you will pay is determined by the source of your income, the amount of your income and the size of your family. Rent will not exceed 30% of your gross monthly income.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER CHARGES?

Security Deposit

This deposit (equal to 1/2 of the full rent on your unit) will be held by the New Vista Society and will be returned when your tenancy ends, if there has been no damage to the unit.

Other Charges

Other charges may include cablevision, laundry, parking and utilities depending on the building.
