The unit
This is a two bedroom, two bathroom apartment of 875 square feet in a building the description says is about two years old, located in the Brentwood area of Burnaby. It's described as a south and west facing corner unit with a large balcony, wood flooring throughout, and an open kitchen with gas burners and built-in appliances. One parking spot is included, but the listing is explicit that there is no storage locker. The relative newness of the building (per the seller's description) suggests updated finishes and systems, but this should be confirmed at viewing rather than assumed.
What is included
The appliances included are a dishwasher, microwave, and refrigerator. In-suite laundry is confirmed under building amenities, which is a genuine convenience for a two-year fixed term. The listing also mentions gym, lounge, yoga room, and shared EV charging as building amenities, per the seller's description. The listing does not state who pays utilities, so this needs to be confirmed with the agent.
Rent and value
The asking rent is $2,850 per month for this two bed, two bath unit with parking included. The listing has only been up for about an hour, so there's no market signal yet (no time-on-market pressure, no price reduction) to suggest the rent is negotiable or ambitious. Judge the rent against other current two bedroom listings in the same building type and area to see how it compares.
Tenancy terms to confirm
The description states a one year fixed term to start, with background and credit checks required, and pets allowed subject to building bylaws and a pet deposit. These are useful specifics from the seller, but the actual lease terms, deposit amount, move-in date (October 1 or October 15, per the listing), and utility responsibilities all need to be nailed down directly with the agent before applying. Provincial tenancy rules govern deposits and notice periods and these change over time, so confirm current rules with the relevant provincial tenancy authority rather than assuming anything.
Strata and building rules
As a condo/strata unit, this building will have bylaws governing pets, subletting, and use of amenities like the gym and yoga room. The listing mentions pets are 'subject to building bylaws and pet deposit', which confirms bylaws exist but doesn't tell you what they actually permit. Ask for the specific pet and rental bylaws before applying if this matters to you.
💬 Ask the agent
- What are the building's specific pet bylaws, and how much is the pet deposit if applicable?
- Which utilities (heat, hydro, water, gas) are the tenant's responsibility versus included in rent?
- Is the parking spot assigned, and is it included in the $2,850 rent or an extra cost?
- What exactly does the one year fixed term involve in terms of renewal or extension after that period?
- Is the EV charging mentioned in the building available to this unit's parking spot, and is there an extra cost for it?
- What deposit is required and what does it cover?
- Can the October 1 versus October 15 move-in date be confirmed or chosen?
