What I’m Looking For in an Apartment
Guidelines for filling out this form
Some terminology, such as definitions for the number of rooms in a unit, is specific to Montréal. If you have not already done so, please refer to 4 ½’s web pages entitled Renting in Montréal and Montréal Neighbourhoods.
You will be asked to list whether a particular characteristic is required, preferred, or not important to you. Please consider carefully before responding. 4 ½ will send you to visit units that match all of your required characteristics. Your preferred characteristics, however, enable us to understand what you are looking for in your ideal apartment. Although we will do our utmost to keep your preferences in mind, note that you may be sent to visit apartments that do not match all of your preferred characteristics.
When you are asked to elaborate on your requirements and preferences, try to be as specific as possible. If something is a must, make sure this is clear. Remember that some characteristics are subjective: For instance, it may not be possible to determine how bright and sunny a unit really is without visiting it.
