TIME TO CHOOSE!

Now that you have listed all the specs for all three rental properties it’s time to weigh in on which one is your favourite. Provide AT LEAST THREE SPECIFIC ITEMS in your favourite rental property that make it better than the other two properties, as well as one item that is missing or that you’d like to know more about.

My favourite rental property is: Number two

THREE ITEMS THAT I LIKE IN THIS PROPERTY ARE:

1) Close to UBCO busing

2) It’s close to meeting areas (tim hortons, etc.)

3) Pool, & courtyard

ONE THING THAT IS MISSING OR I’D LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT FOR THIS PROPERTY IS:

1) I kind of wish it was a two bedroom incase having company crash the night. Though, I could survive without that.
