How does the billing of utilities work?
We’ve partnered with CARMA to take the guesswork out of utilities. Just set up an account online and get billed your proportionate share of utilities every month.
Our building is sub-metered by unit, so your bill is not affected by how much your next-door neighbour uses!
Can I pick my roommate? What if we don't get along?
Yes, you can put in a request for a specific roommate, and we will do our best to accommodate the request. Roommate matching is a part of the application process, and we want to ensure you have the best experience living here. We’ll ask you a few questions and do our best to match you with a student who has similar interests.
All roommates must complete a roommate agreement together so that we can establish unit expectations for cleanliness, common space use, and anything needed to help you all feel safe and comfortable at Laurent!
