Application Process

We Try to Make the Application Process as Easy – Yet Thorough – as Possible!

Once you decide you want to apply for a specific unit, our building manager will arrange a visit to meet with you and can discuss the paperwork required. It is our policy to approve rental applications only after one of our building managers meets with you, and our specially trained Head Office professionals perform credit and reference checks.  It is part of the Destaron Difference to thoroughly screen all new applicants. We care who your neighbours are.

Forms, Documentation and the Application Process:

  1. Submit an Application Form 
  2. Submit an Authorization Form for a Credit Check and Provide a Landlord Reference
    • Download a Printable Authorization Form which we will use for a credit check. Provide your current landlord with a Reference Request Form. Please note, if you wish to complete these forms prior to your meeting with the building manager, you may do so. However, at least one document must be signed in-person with the building manager who can verify government-issued, current photo ID.
  3. Additional Documentation – Proof of Income, Identification, Rent Deposit

As is standard when applying for an apartment anywhere in Ontario, we require proof of income, identification and first and last month’s rent.

    • Proof of Income: A letter from your employer on business letterhead indicating length of employment and income or other documents verifying income (e.g., three most recent pay stubs). For those who are self-employed, a current CRA assessment would suffice.
    • Identification: One piece of current government-issued photo ID (e.g., driver’s license, passport).
    • Deposit: A certified cheque or money order for last month’s rent, plus key rental. It must be made out for the current date and made payable to the building-specific name which will be provided to you. We also require payment for the first month’s rent (dated for the first day of the lease), which can be a personal cheque or a completed pre-authorized payment form with a voided cheque.

Testimonials

Heather Forest Apartments

I have been living in Heather Forest Apartments since December 2012. When I was looking for a new home, I did not choose lightly;I was looking for an atmosphere that was warm and welcoming as well as being for those aged 55 and older. I had to wait for 10 months for a vacancy to become available but it was well worth the wait. I look forward to residing here for many more years to come.In the three and a half years I have lived here I have come to really appreciate Moe and Nikki, and all the work they do. I can take pride when family and friends visit in the well manicured lawns, the beautiful gardens full of flowers, the clean and tidy entrance, hallways and elevator. I appreciate that when I have any issue, they are quick to address it and solve it for me. I am looking forward to the new owner and management team continuing the amazing environment I have enjoyed. ~ J. L., Resident at Heather Forest Apartments

Arkledun Apartments

My husband and I moved into the Arkledun from a much larger building near by and this was the best move we've ever made. The building is spotlessly cleaned, the staff is helpful, welcoming and greet you with a smile every day.

We are retired and the location is terrific, close to medical facilities, easy to walk to James Street South Business District and great access to public transit. It is a pleasure to live here. It is more of a neighbourhood than an apartment building. ~ Arkledun Apartments resident

The Destaron Difference

Destaron has been family owned and operated in Ontario for over 35 years. 

Destaron believes residents should get pristine units when they move in and all units should be properly maintained.

The “Destaron Difference” may cost more at the outset, but the strategy has proven itself, with most buildings having a large majority of residents who have lived there for five years or more (or even 10+ years).
