7. Must I sign a lease?

You are not required to sign a traditional lease. However, long term residents are required to enter a Financial Agreement. This makes arrangements for the provision of 30 days notice to the Empire Terrace Suites before moving out.

 
 

8. How do I arrange to move?

After you have completed the Application for Residency, a confidential interview will be arranged at your convenience. We will provide information and advice on the various options available to you, and together we will take care of all the details.

 
 

9. Are there any benefits to reserving my Suite early?

Of course the first benefit to reserving early is that you will ensure that you secure the suite of your choice. Some suites are more desirable due to size and location and are usually the ones to go first. Reserving early ensures that you get what you want.

As an added bonus, we are offering an early leasing incentive package, which can be either:

  • Six months full meal package ($1650 value)

OR

  • Assistance with moving expenses (value dependant upon location)
