We can advise you on matters related to apartment search for city-owned rental homes. You will receive guidance on applying for Heka rental housing, non-subsidised rental housing and short-term rental housing.

Our advice focuses on instructions for filling in housing applications.

Try to avoid peak hours! The queues are shortest on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, versus Monday and Thursday afternoons are the busiest. Telephone lines are usually busiest during the first service hour.
