Landlord Survey on Affordable Housing Opportunities Now Online

The City of St. John’s is coordinating a survey of landlords in partnership with the Rental Team of the Affordable Housing Working Group.

The City cannot tackle the issue of affordable housing alone; addressing this issue will require a collective effort from all levels of government as well as from private and community partners.  A key strategy of the City’s Affordable Housing Business Plan is to cultivate a base of landlords willing to rent to individuals seeking affordable housing, including those who may require supports.

All landlords and property managers with rental property in St. John’s are encouraged to visit engagestjohns.ca page to take the survey which addresses barriers, obstacles and opportunities of achieving a successful tenancy.

For the purposes of the survey a ‘landlord’ is anyone who receives payments to have individuals reside at a property they own or manage.

The short survey takes approximately 10 minutes to complete and participants will be entered in a random draw for a $500 home improvement gift card. The survey is open until October 17.
