Pre-Olympic Planning Stage of the 2010 Checklist for Rental Accommodations:
 |
Decide on the number of people traveling
with you |
| |
| • |
How many people are staying with you in the same Rental
2010 Vancouver Accommodation? |
| • |
Will a studio, one bedroom, two bedroom or larger
furnished rental 2010 Vancouver accommodation suit your
needs? |
| • |
How many bathrooms will you require? |
|
| |
|
|
Select the dates for your trip to see
the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Winter Games |
| |
| • |
When would you like to arrive in Vancouver? |
| • |
When would you like to leave? |
| • |
Remember to budget for travel time (whether it be
plane, boat, train, bus or car) |
• |
Check out the dates for the Vancouver 2010 Opening/Closing
ceremonies, sporting events and medal ceremony dates |
• |
Are there other sites and experiences outside of the
2010 Olympics you would like to see during your stay? |
|
| |
|
|
Decide on your mode of transportation |
| |
| • |
Are you renting a car? |
| • |
Are you taking public transportation to and from
your Vancouver rental 2010 suite? |
| • |
Do you have a preference of the local bus, SkyTrain,
SeaBus and/or West Coast Express train? |
|
| |
|
|
Select a location that best suits your
experience |
| |
| • |
Do you want to be close to the 2010 Olympic Venues? |
| • |
If so, which events do you have tickets to watch? |
| • |
If not, how far are you willing to travel to experience
the Winter Games? |
|
| |
|
|
Decide on the type of housing you prefer |
| |
| • |
Do you prefer a condo apartment, townhome or single
family home? |
| • |
Do you prefer completely new or older rental 2010
accommodations? |
| • |
Do you prefer West Coast architecture or classic
style rental Vancouver homes? |
• |
Do you prefer one level living or multi-level Olympic
2010 Vancouver housing? |
• |
Do you prefer open concept floorplans or traditional
layouts? |
• |
Do you want outdoor living space? |
|
| |
|
|
Select a set of on site amenities
that are most important to you |
| |
| • |
As many condo and townhome developments (and newer
single family 2010 rental homes) have onsite amenities,
which ones do you most prefer? |
| • |
Some onsite amenities include fitness gym, swimming
pool, lounge with catering kitchen, rooftop deck, billiards
room, yoga room, steam rooms, sauna, movie theatre,
outdoor green spaces, courtyards and views. |
| • |
Choose the top 3 that are most important |
|
| |
|
|
Decide on a set of local amenities
that are most important to you |
| |
| • |
Many master planned apartment and townhome communities
are close to local conveniences, so by selecting the
most important 3 local amenities, you can narrow down
your search |
| • |
Some local amenities include shopping, dining, banks,
library, medical centre, hospital, urban parks, bike
trails, waterfront, movie theatre, coffee bistros, community
centre, recreational facilities and schools |
| • |
Choose the top 3 that are most important |
|
| |
|
|
Select your price range |
| |
| • |
Everyone’s budget for a furnished 2010 Vancouver
rental accommodation is different, so choose a price
range that fits your budget |
| • |
Smaller studio and one bedroom suites will be the
most affordable while larger single family homes will
be the most luxurious, but also the most expensive furnished
Vancouver 2010 rental suites. |
| • |
Budget the amount you want to spend on rental accommodation
during the 2010 Games, and then divide that by the number
of nights of your holiday. This will give you an accurate
cost per night budget for your furnished rental 2010
accommodation. |
|
| |
|
|
Decide on who you should rent 2010
Vancouver accommodations from |
| |
| • |
You can choose between professional Vancouver 2010
property managers, homeowners with management experience
or Vancouver home owners with no experience. |
| • |
The cost between the three are quite varied as there
is no set rate card for Vancouver furnished rentals
at this time. |
| • |
Where are you going to find the rental accommodation?
You can go through a property manager or online at Craiglist,
Kijiji or other rental websites. |
• |
Do you research on the owners and people renting
their Vancouver homes for the Olympics by calling or
emailing them for more information |
• |
Your decision should be based on how comfortable
you are with signing a contract with a company or individual. |

The Rental 2010 Residential Tenancy Lease Checklist
for Visitors Looking for Furnished Vancouver Rental Accommodation
With the above research complete, you will be able to make your
final decision quite easily and book your furnished 2010 Vancouver
accommodation today. However, there are still several steps involved
with the Vancouver 2010 rental checklist before you are fully
booked and ready to leave for the Winter Olympic Games. The rental
2010 checklist will also include things to think about when booking
your reservation, whether it be over the phone or online. So if
you’re ready, what are the next steps involved? Usually,
the signing of the Vancouver Residential Lease agreement will
be a legally binding contract and will be the next step in securing
your Olympic 2010 housing rental. The 2010 lease checklist includes
reviewing the standard terms of the residential tenancy lease
and also the fund collection and deposit schedule. In many instances,
these are all standard terms, and the Vancouver rental 2010 lease
checklist will run through the obvious and not so obvious terms
that you may not be aware of. Here are the next steps involved
with the rent 2010 checklist for Vancouver rental accommodation.
|
The money issues involved with your
furnished 2010 Vancouver rental and what to expect |
| |
| • |
Are you ready to put down a 50% non-refundable deposit
on the 2010 furnished rental that you have chosen? This
is the standard term for all Olympic housing leases. |
| • |
Are you ready to pay the final 50% at least 4 to
6 weeks prior to your arrival? |
| • |
Have you budgeted for the security/damage deposit
for the furnished Vancouver 2010 rental accommodation
that is usually approximately 50% of the total of your
entire stay? |
• |
If renting from a professional Vancouver 2010 property
management company or an individual managing four or
more units of accommodation, there is an additional
BC Hotel Room Tax (HRT) of 8% on top of your rental
price. In some municipalities, there is also an additional
2% in city taxes. |
• |
Have you budgeted for cleaning fees at the end of
your stay? |
• |
How are you going to pay for the deposits and rent?
Wire transfer, bank transfer, bank drafts or alternative
means? |
|
| |
|
|
Signing the Residential Tenancy Lease |
| |
| • |
Once you have contacted the owner or manager, they
will need to draft a legal Residential Tenancy Lease
for your stay (whether it be for only a night to a month). |
| • |
Make sure that you have a lease signed and dated
by all parties |
| • |
The Residential Tenancy Lease for the furnished 2010
rental accommodations should include all the terms,
bylaws and regulations surrounding the rental in addition
to contact information of the owners/management company
and a detailed breakdown of the costs involved with
the lease agreement. |
• |
In many instances, the Residential Lease Agreement
also has an Addendum with extra regulations and bylaws
which you must review. |
• |
If anything looks out of place, please make sure
they are either corrected or taken out of the lease
prior to signing the documentation |
• |
Make sure you have contact information for the Owner
or 2010 Olympic Property Manager during your stay if
any maintenance issues come up |
• |
After signing, you will need to get a copy of the
Residential Tenancy Agreement for the fully furnished
2010 Vancouver rental accommodation |
|
During and Post Olympic 2010 Rental Checklist
for Tenants
As you may know, most of the research and work has been completed
if you’ve made it to this point. Your luxury furnished 2010
rental Vancouver accommodation is fully booked and possibly fully
paid for already and you have the Residential Lease Agreement
that protects you as well. Now, what do you do during and after
the Olympics? Well, this Vancouver 2010 checklist will run through
some other minor details that you must get done before you arrive
as well as during your stay. The Post-Olympic 2010 rental checklist
will also go through all the things you need to think about and
do prior to leaving your furnished 2010 Vancouver rental suite,
so that you do not get blamed for theft or damages. Here it is:
|
Travel Arrangements |
| |
| • |
Book your travel arrangements to Vancouver well in
advance after you decide on your furnished 2010 rental
suite. Flights and other modes of transportation will
sell out very quickly as we approach the 2010 Vancouver
Winter Games |
| • |
Arrange transfers to and from the Vancouver International
Airport to your furnished 2010 rental accommodation
early. Some property management companies will provide
transfers or arrange them for you well in advance |
|
| |
|
|
Move-In Inspection |
| |
| • |
With any Vancouver 2010 Residential Tenancy Agreement,
the owner or property manager of the suite must run
through a move-in inspection so that both parties are
aware of any current damages as well as to review the
list of furnishings that belong to the home. |
| • |
This move-in inspection for rental 2010 Vancouver
accommodation is very important so that there are no
problems with damages and theft that may fall back on
you. |
|
| |
|
|
During Your Stay |
| |
| • |
Enjoy the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games and
experience as many venues, events and ceremonies that
you can possibly get to. |
| • |
Respect all building and home bylaws, regulations
and terms that are outlined in the Residential Tenancy
Agreement. If you break them, the owner or property
manager will be able to fine you directly or even evict
you with 48 hours notice. |
• |
Respect the environment. |
|
| |
|
|
Move-Out Inspection |
| |
| • |
Again, with any furnished 2010 Vancouver rental accommodation
or home, you will be entitled to a move-out inspection
with the owner or property manager prior to leaving. |
| • |
A move-out inspection allows all parties to inspect
the home or rental suite to make sure that there are
no damages and no theft during your stay. |
• |
If there are problems with either of these, the owners
and Vancouver 2010 rental property management company
has the right to deduct the accessed value of damages/theft
from your security deposit. |
• |
If more funds are required, they will most likely
charge your credit card. |
• |
Without a move-out inspection, the property manager
will have the right to charge whatever is necessary
without your review, so make sure you don’t skip
this step |
|
| |
|
|
Security Deposit Refund |
| |
| • |
In most cases, the property management company or
owner will either refund the security deposit on the
furnished Vancouver 2010 rental suite upon move-out
or they will pay you by a bank/wire transfer or by cheque. |
| • |
The security deposit is usually refunded within 2
weeks of your move-out. |
|
So there you have it! The three Vancouver 2010 checklists involved
for renters and visitors who are seeking rental accommodations.
These rental 2010 check lists are great for anyone renting during
Winter Olympic Games and pertain to affordable and luxury rentals
throughout the entire province and City of Vancouver as well as
unfurnished and furnished 2010 Olympic housing. The checklists
are the same for everyone. Hope you enjoyed reading our article!
