Move-In Inspections

A lot of you will be moving into your new place in the next few days and some of you may have already moved in. We can’t stress the importance of doing a move in inspection because any damages that are identified when you move out, may prevent you from getting your damage deposit back or could lead to a bad referral. If you can hire someone to do a professional inspection, then we think you should. However, if this is not an option for you, we’ve compiled a short list of the top ten items we think you should inspect.

A Conversation With Student Legal Services Part One

We advised him to reach out to student legal services at his campus, but we decided to have a question and answer session with Student Legal Services of Edmonton just in case there are any other students who could use their services but aren't aware of it.
