I don't know if it's still for rent, but it's worth a look if you are still seeking. I found a place to live in Edmonton by just walking around. For some reason, the sensible rentals don't get advertised, they just have signs out by the street. So you gotta walk around.

Cats are usually quite calm and my sister has had one in her apt. for years without any damage. I think that it just takes more effort finding a building which allows them. I got in just before my building cut them out of the leases but since I already had one, they've kind of closed a blind eye to the others I've brought in. The only thing which is "bad" about having pets is having to find someone to look after them when you go away, just like having a kid really. I’d hate not having pets and mine do not make any damage.

And, you make a good point. $100 is a $100, and it does add up quickly over the course of a year. As for a pet, it's unlikely that I'll get one until I own my own home. It's just something that sometimes pops into the back of my mind. Thanks Les, I sort of figured that those were the going rates.

You can only find units for Jan 1 after Dec 1 Do not get a pet or you will severely limit your options. Pets cause a lot of damage and most property owners do not allow pets. For example a cat urinating all over the carpets will cause $2000 damage to replace carpets and underlay and to seal coat the urine in the floorboards. Good luck! 1 bedroom no balc 2nd fl $750
