Zulich Leasing Information

Zulich utilizes a thorough screening process for individuals who apply to lease an apartment. Every applicant must meet the following requirements:

1) A recommendation from your current landlord. If a letter from your landlord is not provided, our leasing agent will contact your landlord directly. This is to verify that your rent payment is always timely and that you have mutual respect for other tenants' enjoyment of the property.

2) A letter from your current employer stating your position, yearly salary and duration of your employment. If a letter is not provided, your employer will be contacted directly by our leasing agent to verify this information.

3) A credit check will be processed to verify your credit history and current credit position. As a result, a social insurance number and/or birthday will be required in order to administer a credit check.

4) A last month's rent deposit is mandatory to hold an apartment upon an approved application. Payment must be made in the form of a money order, cheque or cash.

Please note that when you are approved to lease an apartment with Zulich, your deposit is non-refundable.
