A recent tour of four Saskatchewan housing units in Regina showcased how much work happens between vacancy and read-to-rent status.
As Michaud explained, an empty unit typically requires, at minimum, cleaning, furniture removal and cosmetic repairs like fresh paint, flooring fixes, and repairs to doors and cabinets.Article content
“This is why you often see that we have houses that are vacant but not rent-ready yet. It takes time,” said Michaud. Break-ins are extremely common with vacant units, and removing copper pipes is the most common reason as of late. Michaud said regardless, it is SHC that swallows any elevated costs due to significant damage. For 2022, the corporation budgeted $2.3M in 2022 for turnaround work, which includes repairs costs for both typical and atypical damages.
A rent ready family unit is shown in Regina’s North Central neighbourhood on Monday, January 23, 2023 in Regina. The housing unit is owned by Saskatchewan Housing Corporation.An average wait time for placement is ideally within a couple of weeks, but there are a variety of elements that affect that process, including tenants’ preferences on unit type, neighbourhood and more.
