Before you apply

Here’s what you need to know before starting your application:

• Parkside is a purpose-built student residence located in downtown Toronto. Designed for domestic and international students attending Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University), the University of Toronto, OCAD University, George Brown College, and other nearby institutions, Parkside offers a supportive living experience in the heart of the city.
• Parkside offers flexible lease terms generally starting from the beginning of the academic term to the end of December (of that same year) or April and August of the following year with payments made in 4, 8, or 12 installments due and payable on the 1st of each month.
• We require a guarantor for your lease. Guarantors are most often a relative and must be over the age of 18. A guarantor can be local or international and must provide their contact information and identification details for the application to be accepted. 
• A Last Month's Rent (LMR) Deposit is required for your Housing Application to be processed. After you have completed your Housing Application, you will be prompted within the Prospect Portal to make your application fees payment. Your LMR amount must equal the monthly instalment that corresponds to the floor plan you choose on your Housing Application. All floorplans indicate said amounts. You are not required to pay LMR in order to be added to our waitlist, but a completed Housing Application is necessary.
• The submission and acceptance of your Housing Application DOES NOT guarantee accommodation or a specific placement on our waitlist. An accommodation is secured upon the execution of the Lease Agreement by all parties. Accommodations are leased on a first-come, first-served basis. As such, availability is subject to change. We encourage all applicants to return their Lease Agreement within 24-hours of receiving it to guarantee their bed space.
• International Access Support: If you’re applying from abroad and are unable to access our online portal, please click here to complete your housing application. At Parkside, we're excited to help you secure your accommodation, no matter where you're applying from!
• Should you wish to remove your application or name from our waitlist and receive a FULL refund of your LMR, please submit your formal request in writing to parkside@liveksc.ca so long as a Lease Agreement has not been signed.
• The application usually only takes 5-10 minutes to complete.
