Do you have furnished units?
Yes. Most of our Academy Way student units are fully furnished — bed, sofa, coffee table, smart TV, and a full appliance package. Furnishings are included in the rent. Unit inventory is confirmed at move-in via a condition inspection report signed by both parties. If you're asking about a specific unit, send us the address and we'll confirm what's included.
What areas of Kelowna do you operate in?
Our primary focus is the UBCO Academy Way corridor — the highest-demand student rental corridor in Kelowna. We also manage properties in the KLO Road area and Sunset Drive. On the short-term rental side, we service seven Okanagan markets: Kelowna, West Kelowna, Lake Country, Penticton, Osoyoos, Merritt, and Kamloops. If you're a landlord with a property outside these areas, reach out — we're growing.
Are any of your units pet-friendly?
Our standard residential leases are no pets. This applies to all Academy Way units. The strata bylaws at 935 and 881 Academy Way restrict pets, so this isn't a landlord preference — it's a building rule. If you have a guide dog or service dog, that's protected under BC law and we'll address it separately. For units outside the Academy Way stratas, pet policies vary by property — ask us about the specific address.
What's the difference between student housing and general housing at GS?
Functionally, the management is the same — professional, responsive, BC RTA-compliant. The difference is in how units are leased: • Student housing (Academy Way): Fixed-term leases aligned to the academic year (typically May–April or September–August). Often multi-tenant suites. Rent is all-inclusive. PAD payment via pre-authorized debit. Parent/guardian guarantees available for first-time renters. • General housing (KLO Rd, Sunset Dr, etc.): Month-to-month or fixed-term depending on the unit. Utilities may or may not be included. Lease terms depend on the individual property. If you're a UBCO or OC student, Academy Way is built for you.
