We have a large dining area but tenants spill food on rug, so we have this DVD player to trick them into eating in kitchen.

You control this system.  Anyone in the house can turn it off.  As landlords we are concerned about winter temperatures in the house when it is empty.  We ask that you turn on the system when the house is empty.  Thanks. home35 The third bedroom on the first floor opens to an attached garage.
Anyone  is welcome to live in our home and over the course of the years we have always enjoyed providing rooms for a variety of housemates representing diverse cultures, religions, ethnic backgrounds and ages and sexes.

Foreign students, students, graduate students, part time students, and all members of the public have enjoyed living in our home. They are all welcome.

We are under 300 metres from the University of Alberta, and the majority of our applicants are from the campus since there is a critical need for housing. This is particularly apparent for grad students.  But we welcome those who are not students.

And a part-time gardener. home38 home39 home40 Kate and Jaron own the house. They want you to feel at home. They ENCOURAGE tenants to set things up so tenants run the day-to-day activities of the house. In other words, the inmates are in charge of the asylum.   MAP home41
