Internal Transfer Guidelines:
Transfer requests are reviewed on a case-by-case situation and some of the requirements are:
- The Tenant household has been living in their current rental unit for a minimum of twelve (12) consecutive months,
- The Tenant household account must be up to date and clear of any rent and/or maintenance (TCB) arrears for six (6) consecutive months at the time of application,
- The current rental unit is in good and rentable condition, meaning that there are no unresolved Tenant damages and/or cleaning needs,
- A Condition Inspection will be completed as part of the transfer process.
Underhoused / Overhoused
Whether a Tenant is underhoused (overcrowded), when joined by additional family members (provided they are not foster children), or overhoused (too much space) based on the current family composition.
The Occupancy Standards clearly outline that there should be no more than two (2) persons in a bedroom - no consideration will be made regarding the age of the children sharing a bedroom, other than children of the opposite sex should not be required to share a bedroom past the age of six (6).
Medical
A request for alternate accommodations because of health/medical concerns must have medical documentation indicating the nature of the problem, the degree of its severity, and how it has been aggravated by the Tenant's present accommodation.
Medical documentation must outline these details, giving clear evidence that the Tenant's condition has been adversely affected by the present accommodations.

Transportation
Work-related transportation difficulties must be present and only if the Tenant has demonstrated job stability; having the same employer for six (6) months and that the job-related transportation is either considered excessive or unavailable when required.
All requests must have supporting documentation indicating the necessity for transferring to a specific location and that alternative means of transportation have been investigated.
Social Concerns
Social concerns are not considered grounds for a transfer, except in severe or unusual cases where the safety of the tenant household may be in jeopardy.
Low End Market (LEM)
For Tenants with an annual gross household income that is above the Household Income Limits (HILS) under the Urban Native Housing program.
These units have a set monthly rental amount, which increases annually, and are not based on a rent-geared-to-income scale.
