Rental Readiness Workshop Series
Starting from Scratch
Need to find housing for next year (or right now) and not sure where to start? We've got you covered! Join the Off-Campus Housing team for foundational steps to begin your house-hunting journey. This workshop will focus on educating students about the house hunting process, and help students by providing budgetary considerations and resources as well as tools to successfully find roommates. It's a great place to start if you are not sure how to begin looking for off-campus housing.
House Hunting 101
Looking for an overview on how to look for off-campus housing and learn everything you need to know? Our House Hunting workshop covers topics such as budgeting, platforms to find housing, avoiding rental scams, relationships with roommates and more.

Spring Term Start: Housing Support for International and Out-of-Province Students
Are you a spring start student who is new to Canada (or Ontario) and are looking to learn more about housing and off-campus living as a post-secondary student? We are offering two virtual workshops during the month of April 2025 specifically designed to support international and out-of-province students attending Laurier! Our workshop covers all the basics, including important housing terms, legally binding documents (i.e., the Standard Ontario Lease/Tenancy Agreement), subleases/sublets, search engines/platforms for off-campus student housing in Waterloo/Brantford/Milton, and how to avoid rental fraud/scams!
