Hi everyone.
I’ll me landing in Calgary April 09th this year and I was looking at short term accommodation on AirBnb.Thought I might rent for 3weeks but since I need enough space for 3adults and 3kids,I find it quite expensive.The 64$/night bevomes 111$/night with all of us,thus the total for 3weeks comes to about 2700-2900$!
As for long term accommodation,At first I looked at capitol Hill,Hillhurst,Varsity etc but recently we changed our minds for Huntington Hills/Thorncliffe area since it has plenty of activities for our 3boys.I will be studying at SAIT and need regular check ups in Children’s Hospital (my youngest has a heart condition).
My questions are:
Q
1.Would 3 weeks be enough for long term accommodation hunting ? Or should we book 2 weeks short term accommodation and extend it afterwards if we cannot find long term rent?We won’t have jobs,or if we will,most likely they will be survival jos the first few months (I am a doctor-need to go back to school;my husband is a transport/logistics/warehouse manager-he’ll look for HGVDriver positions until he makes enough connections to start looking for something higher)
2.what are the chances to find long term 3bdr house for us,without jobs?We will have proof of funds to show that we have enough to support ouf family for 6/8months without any jobs-which won’t be the case as we are willing to work anything in the beginning
3.what areas would be best? Around sait/Children’s Hospital or Huntington Hills/Thorncliffe?We have 3 boys,aged 2,4,6.
4.Are there any tips regarding increasing our chances of finding long term accommodation without jobs?Anything to make us look better and convince the landlord that we are really decent tenants?We will come with avery good reference from our landlord here in Ireland-6years in the same house,no issues ever.
Thank you in advance .Any input will be much appreciated
